FEATURING LAURA FLORES-PERILLA - Just weeks before incumbent president, Joe Biden faces Donald Trump for their first pre-election debate, his administration announced it would adopt an order temporarily sealing off the U.S.-Mexico border and removing protections for asylum seekers.
According to the New York Times, “The order would be the most restrictive border policy instituted by Mr. Biden, or any other modern Democrat, and echoes an effort in 2018 by President Donald J. Trump to curb migration that Democrats assailed and federal courts blocked.” Biden plans to sign the order with great fanfare alongside mayors of border cities.
