There is lots of chatter about President Biden’s likely executive action on immigration. The campaign for the presidency is just starting so we might see more action on immigration.

Seung Min Kim, Stephen Groves, and Colleen Long for the Associated Press report that the White House is telling lawmakers that President Joe Biden is preparing to sign off on an executive order that would shut the .S.-Mexico border once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 between ports of entry, with the border reopening only once that number declines to 1,500.

The order could go into immediate effect, because daily figures are higher than 2,500.

President Biden is expected to announce the actions at the White House at an event to which border mayors have been invited. Stay tuned!
