Biden announces executive action to curb migrant crossings | BBC News

US President Joe Biden has announced a sweeping new executive action aimed at curbing migrant arrivals at the US-Mexico border.

It will stop migrants who cross unlawfully from receiving asylum, but only takes effect when the southern border has been "overwhelmed.”

The Biden Administration says the action makes it easier for immigration officers to remove people who are in the US illegally.

Immigration is one of the key voter issues ahead of November’s presidential election, and both Democrats and Republicans are seeking to prove their credentials on the topic.
