The mayor of Laredo, Texas, recently met with President Biden at the White House for an important discussion on immigration. During the meeting, Biden signed an executive order aimed at reducing southern border crossings by a third, a significant move that Mayor Trevino views as a game-changer.
The executive order focuses on asylum seekers, stating that those who cross illegally into the country will not be eligible for asylum. Instead, asylum seekers are encouraged to use an app to schedule their asylum appointments. Additionally, if the number of asylum seekers reaches 2,500, there will be a temporary pause on accepting new applications until the number decreases to 1,500.
