    Looks like an immigrant ban, but let’s not call it an immigrant ban. People might get the wrong idea that this is way worse then Trump’s title 42

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The president’s order would come under the Immigration and Nationality Act sections 212(f) and 215(a) suspending entry of noncitizens who cross the southern border into the United States unlawfully.

    Senior administration officials said Tuesday in a call with reporters that “individuals who cross the southern border unlawfully or without authorization will generally be ineligible for asylum, absent exceptionally compelling circumstances, unless they are accepted by the proclamation.”

    In a written statement, Donald Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavett claimed that exception would give a “green light to child traffickers and sex traffickers” while reiterating the former president’s rallying cry that “the border invasion and migrant crime will not stop until Crooked Joe Biden is deported from the White House.”

    Earlier this year, Trump urged House GOP members to kill a bipartisan border funding bill that had been negotiated in the Senate.

    “President Biden has led a historic opening of lawful pathways for individuals to and including families, to enter the United States through a lawful process, including the CBP One mobile application to request an appointment to present at a port of entry, as well as family reunification programs in countries throughout the region and a historic parole process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans,” a senior administration official said.

    “It is a betrayal of what we were told in his campaign four years ago,” said Lindsay Toczylowski, the executive director for the California-based Immigrant Defenders Law Center.

    I wish more Americans were actually aware of why there’s a lot of people at our southern border. How it’s almost entirely our fault that people are having to flee their homes. Biden doing this is simply trying to cover his ass but it’s still fucking stupid. We should be welcoming basically everyone in. Refusing to is just white replacement theory. But I guess I’m a “globalist” for thinking so.

    It still allows 2500 a day to come in and it only effects certain parts of the border, but it’s 5 months until the election so I guess he thought he better do something at least
