Push back against Biden executive order

 

Last week, various groups challenged President Biden's new asylum policy,   

NBC News reports that President Biden's executive order that would block migrants from seeking asylum is facing more backlash. Some immigration advocates are pushing back by providing workshops that pair asylum seekers with attorneys to help them apply for work permits. 

There have been news reports that President Biden will announce this week some kind of relief for some undocumented immigrants.

"Comment to your post, "Push back against Biden executive order," but couldn't get to the comment form for that post.  Please consider the following comment:

 

The proclamation isn’t based on whether the entry of any alien or class of aliens is detrimental. It is based on whether the number of illegal crossers has reached a level that makes illegal crossings detrimental, which may not be covered by Section 212(f). 

 

In addition, Section 212(f) applies to alien entries, not asylum applications. Biden doesn’t have the authority to reject asylum applications when an arbitrary limit on illegal entries has been exceeded. Section 208(a)(1) of the INA grants any alien on American soil the right to apply for asylum, regardless of whether his or her entry was lawful.
