President Joe Biden tours the U.S.-Mexico border in El Paso earlier this month. The president has embraced policies that don’t reflect the needs of asylum-seekers or reasons for economic migration.WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn on Monday said he plans to push for Congress to override a key piece of President Joe Biden's effort to revamp the nation's asylum system, which the Texas Republican says is an abuse of the U.S.
But Republicans, including Cornyn, have argued the plan will only encourage more migrants to come to the U.S. Cornyn has accused the administration of playing a numbers game, reducing illegal crossings by directing migrants to ports of entry. He said he plans to introduce a resolution to use the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to overturn administrative policies.
Cornyn did not offer additional details on the resolution, and his office did not immediately respond to a request for comment."Unlike some Republican officials who are playing political games and obstructing real solutions to fix our broken immigration system, President Biden has a plan and is taking action," said White House regional communications director Dhara Nayyar.
Progressives, meanwhile, have become increasingly frustrated with the president, who they say is erecting barriers to asylum that he campaigned on eradicating. U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, blasted Biden this weekend over reports that his administration is considering detaining migrant families.
