President Joe Biden signed three executive orders Tuesday, in his latest move to reverse Trump administration policy. "I’m not making new law, I'm eliminating bad policy," Biden said in a statement from the Oval Office, Fox News reports.
"What I'm doing is taking on the issues that, 99 percent of them, that the last President of the United States issued executive orders I thought were very counterproductive to our security, counterproductive to who we are as a country, particularly in the area of immigration," he continued.
One of the orders signed will reportedly create a task force to continue with the reunification of migrants who were separated from their family at the border under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy.
The second of the three orders will launch a strategy to address "irregular migration" at the southern border. It also directs the Department of Homeland Security to review the Migrant Protection Protocols, which Biden said he would put and end to.
The third order will implement a review of Trump administration immigration policies and seek to "streamline" the naturalization process for immigrants.
"The executive order includes a review of many regulations, orders, guidance, documents, and policies that the Trump administration put in place over the last four years," a senior White House official explained.
"The review will be conducted by the State Department, the Department of Justice and DHS and assess which policies are inconsistent with the federal government's desire to promote integration and inclusion, citizenship and the full participation of our newest Americans," the official continued.
Biden has signed north of 40 executive orders in just his first few weeks as President. His administration has so far shown tremendous forward momentum in an effort to undo much of former President Donald Trump's policy. An intent area of focus for Biden has been on Trump's immigration policy.
"This is about how America is safer, stronger, more prosperous when we have a fair, orderly, and humane legal immigration system," Biden expalined in his Tuesday statement.
