The U.S. is shutting down the southern border. President Joe Biden just announced new plans aimed at addressing the immigration crisis. He says the southern border is overwhelmed, so he's taking executive action to start turning migrants away.
"Doing nothing is not an option. We have to act,” Biden said. "This action will help us gain control of our border, restore order in the process."
Tuesday, he announced officials will shut down the border when the average number of daily crossings hits 2500 and it won't open back up until it slows to an average of 1500 crossings per day or less. With crossings already above the threshold, the border should shut down immediately.
