The presidential elections are held in the United States in November and, as is usual in the campaign environment, the topic of migration takes precedence in the declarations and promises of the candidates. So, Joe Bide's president passed on June 4 the decree tightening immigration policy between the United States and Mexico and came into force on Wednesday. This decree is a tightening of the asylum policy: if it passed the barrier of 2,500 illegal crossings a day (weekly average), they would completely close the border and would not be able to channel asylum applications. To illustrate the situation, each day they sanction the border with an average of 3,500 times declared illegal. In December it was 10,000. The decree also extends the powers of US forces to expel the migrant to their country of origin within a few days or hours.

They point out that there are cases in which the decree will not be processed: children alone on the road, victims of human trafficking, people alone and wanting to follow the journey further north, people with a health emergency, people who are at risk of their lives in the country of origin or who have been tortured, and those who requested time in the CBP One application before crossing the border.

The candidate of US presidents and democrats has explained the need for the decree: "To regain control over our border and restore order in the [asylum] process." If they reduced the amount detained for crossing the border to 1,500, they would restart the asylum application process. Knowing that the last time they stopped at the US-Mexico border was in July 2020, when the world was standing by the pandemic, it is hard to imagine the opening of this border.

Biden has been criticized and accused of using the same logic and instruments as former President Donald Trump. Opponents will try by way of justice to revoke the decree.
