Biden Unveils Immediate Border Restrictions to Tackle Immigration Crisis. Trump Says President 'Totally Surrendered Our Southern Border.'

President Biden unveiled plans to enact immediate and significant restrictions on migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border in an effort to gain control of the situation and neutralize immigration as a political issue before the November elections. The restrictions would take effect when border encounters exceed 2,500 per day, a threshold expected to be reached immediately. Migrants who do not express fear of returning home would be subject to quick expulsion, while those who do would face a higher screening standard to pursue limited humanitarian protections. Former President Donald Trump criticized Biden on social media, accusing him of having "totally surrendered our Southern Border" and claiming his actions were merely for show as they approached their presidential debate on June 27th.
