Republican Senator Marco Rubio from Florida is adding his voice to the criticism of President Biden’s executive order aimed at restricting asylum at the southern border. Rubio has described the plan as a “joke” that will have little impact on reducing the number of border crossings, even if it is executed completely.
Critics on the conservative side have been pointing fingers at the administration for their lack of efforts to control the influx of migrants into the country. This order was announced after the Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border legislation for the second time.
