Will Joe Biden’s new immigration plan work? | Inside Story
It’s a plan aimed at limiting the number of asylum seekers allowed to cross the southern United States border.
Joe Biden said after signing the executive order this week, that he did what he can to address the border.
He blamed Republicans for not reaching a bipartisan border security deal in Congress.
The US has seen record numbers of asylum seekers at the border with Mexico.
And the issue has dominated the campaign trail ahead of November’s presidential election.
So, is this move politically motivated?
