White House expected to unveil sweeping immigration order

President Joe Biden plans to issue an executive order to curb migrant arrivals at the US-Mexico border.

The order allows swift deportation of migrants entering illegally without processing asylum requests once a daily limit is reached. This aims to control the record high of over 6.4 million migrant crossings during Biden's term, which has politically vulnerable as he campaigns for re-election.

Using a 1952 law, the order restricts access to the American asylum system. Despite a recent decline in migrant crossings, experts doubt its sustainability.

The order is expected to face court challenges, while Biden's immigration handling faces significant public disapproval.
