President Joe Biden, continuing his excessive use of executive orders to swiftly change the United States into a Dem utopia, is expected to issue executive orders intended to undo former President Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.
Reuters reports the executive orders will target asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, refugee resettlement and the reunification of migrant families, refugee resettlement and the reunification of migrant families, according to a Biden transition team memo shared with lawmakers and interviews with two people familiar with the plans.
According to the memo, Biden plans to rescind some Trump policies that made it harder to obtain asylum in the United States.
The memo did not specify which polices would be reversed, but a person familiar with the plans said Biden would end a controversial Trump program known as the Migrant Protection Protocols.
The Biden administration announced last Wednesday that it would end all new enrollments in the program, which has forced more than 65,000 asylum seekers back to Mexico to wait for U.S. immigration court hearings.

The Biden administration has not said what will happen to migrants already enrolled in the program, but DHS stated in its announcement last week they should “remain where they are” and await further U.S. government instruction.
Biden also plans to roll back a Trump rule that sought to block asylum seekers who pass through another country en route to the United States, the person said.
Additionally, Biden will direct U.S. agencies to “create strategies” to address the root causes of migration from Central America and expand opportunities for migrants to come to the United States legally, the memo said.
Biden is eventually expected to scrap asylum agreements struck by the Trump administration with Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, three people close to the Biden transition told Reuters last month. Whether he will take that step on Friday remains unclear.
Are you in favor of open borders?
It will be fascinating to see how Mexico responds to undoing thes agreements as they are seriously vested in preventing migrant caravans from entering their country for fear of the spread of Covid-19.
Biden is also expected to create a task force to reunite migrant families who were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border, blaming Trump’s immigration policies.
Additionally, Biden is expected to issue an executive order that would remove barriers to legal immigration and citizenship and to lay out driving principles for his administration’s global refugee policy.
He has pledged to raise annual refugee intake levels to 125,000, up from the record-low 15,000-person ceiling set by Trump for fiscal year 2021, which began on Oct. 1, 2020.
According to two sources familiar with the plan, Biden is not expected to immediately raise the refugee limit. Instead, he will follow a formal process that involves consulting with Congress which is surprising considering he has acted alone since taking office just seven days ago.
Sounds like open borders ahead along with soaring taxes and a forever changed America.
