Mr. Biden has taken two major actions on immigration this month, expanding legal protections for undocumented spouses of American citizens while also sealing the border to most people seeking asylum in the United States.
The strategy, described by one former White House official as a “border-in vs. border-out” approach, is a reflection of the political complexity of immigration, a top concern for voters of both parties in the 2024 presidential campaign.
Matt A. Barreto, a Biden campaign pollster focusing on Latino politics, said Americans draw a distinction between “long term, undocumented immigrants” and “new arrivals.”
While polls show some of Mr. Trump’s proposals, including mass deportations, resonate with voters, Mr. Biden’s campaign believes that Republicans are painting every immigrant under too broad of a brush.
But earlier this month, as Mr. Biden stood in front of signs saying “securing our border,” he articulated a “simple truth” as he announced major new restrictions on asylum.
Angelo Fernández Hernandéz, a spokesman for the White House, said the Biden administration “has repeatedly taken action, within its authorities, to secure the border, expand lawful pathways, and make our immigration system more fair and more just.”
