Also, by actually properly funding immigration courts.
That was in the bill that the Republicans shot down. This is the best bandaid Biden can slap on it for now.
Genuine question, does anyone have any better suggestions that can be implemented in a reasonable timeframe? Immigration is a bad economic target for so many reasons, but Americans overwhelmingly view it as a critical issue. When 1 in 5 of your citizens, regardless of party, considers it the most pressing issue right now in an election year and it is the thumping drum of your opponent, you're going to be under a lot of pressure to act. I don't want this EO to happen but I kind of have to be willing to say I'm in the vast minority in my country, evidently. This is a social/educational problem to solve first, I think.
Immigration has been a floating issue for the past years. Both parties are now viewing it as an issue because the Democrats have recently adopted the Republican stance of fearmongering on immigration and posturing who is the most hardliner for anti-immigration. It is a self fulfilling prophecy.
If Biden wanted to do something about it he should have started years ago. Flipping the nitro switch 6 months before the election when his decision is likely illegal and will be undone in the period leading up to the election, I can't see this benefiting him.
European research has also revealed that pandering to right wingers does not get them to vote for you: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/jan/10/adopting-rightwing-policies-does-not-help-centre-left-win-votes
immigration is only an issue for the top elites
if the tap were opened and the people flowed in other things most certainly would come with it
the stale idea of Americana would have fresh air blown in made of different political views/ culture/ life experiences if we were to just open the windows and let the air circulate
that is the threat the elites want our leaders to eradicate
new people bring new ways of life and thinking to the current populace and challenge current status quos
Biden and Trump both help the elitist agenda
