Cartoon: Panic In The Real Economy

Two recent CNN/SSRS polls show that immigration is one of the top issues voters are considering in the 2024 presidential election. CNN's Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten has the details.

President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday that would allow his Administration to halt asylum claims at the U. S.-Mexico border once apprehensions at the border reach 2,500 per day.

In one of his most pointed criticisms of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yet, President Biden suggested that the Israeli leader may be dragging out the war in Gaza for his political benefit. “There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion,” Biden told Time in a new wide-ranging interview published Wednesday. The president also said that he believed some of Israel’s actions in the war have been “inappropriate” and a “mistake.” The new interview, which was conducted May 28, comes days after Biden announced a new three-stage deal to end the war—including a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the rebuilding of Gaza—and said that it is “time for the suffering to stop.” His answers to Time were, at times, vague and contradictory, but amounted to some of his most direct public criticism of Netanyahu and the Israeli military since the war began on Oct.

On Tuesday, the Biden administration issued a new sweeping executive order further limiting access to asylum at the US-Mexico border. The long-anticipated move, which relies on an authority previously invoked by the Trump administration to restrict immigration, will allow border officials to temporarily suspend asylum processing between official ports of entry and swiftly return migrants to neighboring Mexico and countries of origin at times when crossings rise to a certain threshold.

President Joe Biden unveiled an executive order Tuesday that would allow his Administration to halt asylum claims at the U. S.-Mexico border once apprehensions at the border reach 2,500 per day. Because the current daily number of people encountered by the Border Patrol between ports of entry is well over 2,500, this order would effectively shut down most asylum applications at the border when it takes effect.

Academics and officials whose careers have been spent denouncing rule of law and despising democracy now use it as cover for abuse of power.
