President Joe Biden is considering taking executive action, potentially through executive order or federal regulation, to address the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, as revealed in recent discussions and reports. This move, which could involve limiting asylum seekers at the southern border, has sparked a wide range of reactions. Congressional Republicans have criticized the proposed plan, while some Democrats and members of the Hispanic Caucus have expressed their disappointment, comparing Biden's potential actions to those of his predecessor, Donald Trump. Despite the controversy, Biden's administration is under pressure to manage the situation, with the president himself acknowledging the exploration of executive measures during a meeting with the nation's governors at the National Governors Association Winter Meeting. This meeting was part of the winter session of the National Governors Association, where Biden also highlighted his administration's efforts to work with governors across the country to deliver results for the American people, including the Inflation Reduction Act, which has begun Medicare drug price negotiations, potentially saving Medicare recipients up to 25%.
