president biden is expected to take action on the border crisis on his own. cnn has learned that the president plans to announce an executive order that will effectively shut down the us, mexico border. to asylum seekers crossing illegally. when the daily threshold of crossings is exceeded the executive order relies on a regulation that was enforced under the trump administration at that time, it was widely denounced by democrats this does mark a significant attempt by the president to address head-on. what is one of his biggest, if not his biggest political vulnerability? just weeks before his first debate with donald trump, that is set for right here on cnn axios reports this morning that biden is expected to announce and sign the order today at the white house. she ll be joined by south texas mayors. i am joined by one of the coauthors that report axios political reporters, steph. steph. good morning to you. wonderful to have you let s dig into what we know about this. this nu
