Elon Musk responded on X, saying “No laws needed to be passed. All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing. That is how it used to be.”
No legal guidelines have to be handed. All that’s wanted is an government order to require proof earlier than granting an asylum listening to. That’s the way it was.

As we speak marked the deadline of the Biden Administration’s ultimatum demanding Texas allow federal brokers entry at Shelby Park in Eagle Cross, TX. It has been a contentious showdown between armed Texas Nationwide Guard troops and federal brokers for the reason that guardsmen started blocking federal brokers entry to the park on January twelfth. In response to a January 14th DHS letter demanding federal entry, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton refused to back down, citing federal statute and Article IV Part IV of the US Structure. AG Paxton additionally famous:
Your supposed dedication “to rendering emergency assistance to individuals in need” is belied by the truth that U.S. Border Patrol withdrew from Shelby Park final 12 months and suggested the Texas Division of Public Security that federal personnel wouldn’t be current to manage support until Texas known as for assist. Furthermore, the Del Rio Sector seems to be the one place alongside the Rio Grande the place DHS doesn’t hold boats on the water across the clock to offer water-rescue capabilities.
In a December 2023 letter written by Speaker Mike Johnson to Biden, he wrote:
“All of this is the direct result of your administration’s policies. You have clearly undermined America’s sovereignty and security by ending the Remain in Mexico policy, reinstating catch-and-release, suspending asylum cooperative agreements with other nations, revoking existing restraints on the abuse of parole, and halting border wall construction.”
Based on CBP information, there have been greater than 8.1 million border encounters on the southern border since Biden took workplace. Since 2023, there have been 218 encounters with people on the TSDS, or terrorist watch record. There have been solely 124 within the final six years. And solely 11 throughout President Trump’s whole time period.
Biden continues to move the blame onto Congress, holding them captive alongside Senate Democrats and a few Republicans, comparable to Mitch McConnell, who’re demanding funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The southern border would obtain $14 billion of the proposed $110 billion bundle.
A lot of that funding put aside for the border would go in direction of 1,600 new asylum processing officers, whereas 600 federal brokers had been relocated in November to “make sandwiches” and “babysit” unlawful migrants, based on Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO). Throughout a Senate listening to, DHS Secretary Mayorkas wouldn’t outright deny the whistleblower’s declare:
