This week, President Biden announced an executive order aimed at addressing the influx of illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The order comes after claims by the administration that the border was secure for several years, raising questions about the timing of the announcement ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
The White House stated that the executive order would be triggered when illegal crossings exceed 2,500 a day for seven consecutive days. However, certain exemptions, such as unaccompanied children, raise concerns about potential exploitation by drug cartels. The order is estimated to allow at least 1.8 million illegal migrants into the country annually if fully enforced.
