Biden to sign executive orders on family separation and asylum

President Joe Biden on Tuesday will sign executive orders to launch a long-awaited task force to reunite families separated at the border under the Trump administration, as well as begin a review of a Trump-era program that has forced tens of thousands people to remain in Mexico while their asylum cases are processed.

It’s part of Biden’s latest effort to undo former President Donald Trump’s immigration legacy and offer a sharp change in rhetoric on the issue. But the contents of the three forthcoming executive orders are a reminder that undoing Trump policies and crafting new ones will take time. The new orders largely call for policy reviews, planning and recommendations on next steps — not necessarily new policies to implement.

“Fully remedying [Trump’s] actions will take time and require a full government approach,” an administration official said in a briefing with reporters on Monday night.

“But President Biden has been very clear about restoring compassion and order to our immigration system and correcting the divisive, inhumane and immoral policies of the last four years,” the official said, adding that Biden’s action, so far, was “just the beginning.”

The reason Dotard had so many court challenges to his actions was that he did not use proper procedures. Look at DACA - he never got rid of that, because he did not know how. So getting rid of his EO stuff needs to be done properly.
