President Joe Biden has announced a series of executive actions that will restrict asylum claims for those crossing illegally. The new measures, which come as Biden faces mounting political pressure, are designed to show his administration's commitment to border security.
The president, flanked by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other officials, spoke from the White House East Room, saying, "I've come here today to take the necessary steps to secure our border, steps that the Republicans in Congress have refused to take,'' ABC News reported.
