President Biden is set to announce an executive action on the border that would suspend asylum requests between ports of entry once daily migrant encounters reach 2,500. This move has sparked debates on its effectiveness and underlying motives.
Former Border Patrol chief, Rodney Scott, criticized the proposed action, labeling it as political theater that won't address the root issues. Scott highlighted that the current influx of over a thousand illegal entries a day hampers border patrol's ability to proactively patrol, giving cartels control over border crossings.
