Biden enacts border ‘crackdown’— at least 1.5 MILLION illegals can still cross yearly

President Joe Biden is set to sign an executive order on Tuesday that will allow nearly some 1.5 million illegal immigrants to cross the border into the US per year. The order would allow 2,500 illegal immigrants to cross into the country each day, and the ongoing Biden program of permitting at additional 30,000 illegal immigrants to schedule their border crossing via the CBPOne app will continue. 

The executive order is set to go into effect immediately, per the New York Post, which set the number higher at 1.8 million. "Don't be deceived by Biden's latest move on the border," said Texas Rep. Chip Roy, "which is nothing more than a political stunt. He's trying to appear tough on immigration because he's losing ground in the polls. Remember, he's already let in over 10 million illegal aliens, and his new executive order will likely lead to at least 1.5 million more illegal crossings in the next year."

The order would allow 2,500 illegal immigrants to cross the border via land crossings each day, or at least 912,000 per year, a historically high number. Biden's controversial immigration "parole" program, which allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans immigrants to fly into the US at 30,000 a month, will also continue. Many more have been let in above that cap, as well. Hundreds of thousands of others have come into the  with the Biden DHS' CBPOne app and has allowed 450,000 illegal immigrants had gained to come into the US in the last 13 months. In April, Customs and Border Protection encountered 128,900 illegal immigrants crossing the US-Mexico border.

If illegal immigrants come through with the app, it is considered to be an exception to gain entry into the United States. Other exceptions are carved out such as those who are unaccompanied minors and others are listed in the order. Those unaccompanied minors are not contained as part of the 2,500 cap. In 2022 alone, more than 128,000 unaccompanied minors crossed the border and were admitted into the United States.

The Biden White House fact sheet on the executive order, the administration will not take action to curb illegal immigration unless there is an average of 2,500 immigrant coming across illegally for seven days straight. Biden is also using the "Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) suspending entry of noncitizens who cross the Southern border into the United States unlawfully" in order to use any restriction, which is the same law that Trump has used before to limit immigration under his tenure.
