14:46Now PlayingPresident Biden will comment Tuesday afternoon on a new policy to limit migrant crossings at the southern U.S. border.
The executive order follows unsuccessful efforts by the White House to push Congress toward a bipartisan compromise, as well as continued criticism of Biden’s record on immigration from many Republicans. Conversely, some Democrats are displeased with the measures Biden just announced.
Under the new standards for enforcement, granting asylum to migrants will be halted based on the volume of encounters between immigration officials and people crossing the border. Specifically, entry to migrants is paused if 2,500 such encounters take place within 24 hours. Processing of asylum claims would restart if incidents are brought below 1,500 in a single day.
The president is slated to speak at 2 p.m. EDT.
