According to CNN, Biden is considering executive action to restrict the ability of immigrants who illegally cross the border to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to CNN 21**. The strategy, reminiscent of the controversial immigration policies of the Trump era, is sure to provoke a backlash from immigration advocates and progressives, the report said.

According to the American political news **politico, 3 people familiar with the matter revealed that Biden ** is considering a series of new administrative measures and federal regulations to curb the flow of migrants at the southern border of the United States.
According to the report, Biden is considering a plan that will use a completely new approach to the problem of illegal immigration, which has plagued the White House since Biden's early inauguration and could divide Biden with key voters.
It is unclear how the administrative measures under discussion will be implemented and how they will differ from those enacted during Trump**. Lawyers within the White House have been reviewing the measure, the sources said.
Previously, Biden has repeatedly claimed that he would close the U.S.-Mexico border "immediately" if a proposed border bill passes Congress.
According to the report, the actions being considered by the White House appear to be an extension of some of the toughest measures in the border bill vetoed by Republicans, and also show the positive attitude of the White House in its efforts to address border security issues ahead of Election Day.
Fiscal year 2023 was the worst year ever for U.S. border issues, with more than 3.2 million illegal immigrants deported or apprehended, about three-quarters of which occurred at the Southwest border, according to the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee. In December 2023 alone, a record 300,000 illegal immigrants attempted to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, with the Grand River in Texas being one of the busiest.
In the past few days, Texas and the federal government have been fighting over the immigration issue, and the Texas National Guard has even had a tense "confrontation" with federal law enforcement officers over the removal of the barbed wire. In the context of 2024, the issue of illegal immigration has also become a "grasp" for the Republican Party to violently attack Biden. After Texas Governor and Republican Abbott challenged the federal **, 25 Republican governors issued a joint statement in support of Texas' "right to self-defense" and called for a strict anti-immigrant law.
