>> well, this is a sweeping measure, but in effect will make it much more difficult for migrants to seek asylum at the us-mexico border. what it does is essentially bar migrants to cross the border illegally from seeking asylum when a daily threshold of 2,500 is met, were already there, so that allows us to go into effect immediately. now, this would allow for authorities to turn migrants back to mexico or to their origin country with some exceptions for unaccompanied children, among others who ...

Situation that we dont want to have that happen in our community. >> reporter: tonight, reports this any policy will be triggered when the daily average of migrant abopprehensions exces 2,500 for a week. officials say we have already passed that threshold, which means starting tonight at midnight, the border will temporarily be shut down for migrants trying to enter the united states illegally, and claim asylum. david? >> david: so, this starts in just hours. rachel scott at the white house. rac...

Will have more difficulty seeking asylum as they have done before. >> all of this, of course, coming only weeks before the first presidential debate. and ahead of the november election president joe biden took his most dramatic move yet on the us southern border, tuesday, as he tries to address one of his biggest political vulnerabilities head-on before november. >> im moving past republican obstruction. usually the executive authorities available to me as president do it i can on my own to addr...

Under this executive action, if they hit that 2501 and they come perhaps even later in the de, theyve reached that daily threshold that priscilla was talking about. well, those folks would be put into a van and sent right back over to mexico. still though, we talked to some people who are making the journey and knowing that this was going to be big news today, we wondered if they had heard about it. we met with brian from ecuador. heres what he had to say. >> did on this understand what they are...

That are themselves, give us a bit more detail, if you can, about what you expect to see happening and given this sort of threshold number of 2,500. yeah, so we havent... i guess for it to turn off, it has to go below 1,500, which it hasnt been below 5,500 since 2020. so its probably not something thats going to get turned off, so to speak, any time soon. whats ironic with speaker johnson and other republicans, you know, jumping up and down saying, oh, you know, this is a political stunt, a lot ...

And thats how i think youre going to see the numbers start to recede, get below that 1,500 threshold, and then we can get back to some sort of normalcy instead of having a constant state of crisis at the border. well, there are members of the democratic party that arent too pleased with this executive order. democratic congressman pramila jayapal says, "im profoundly disappointed," and calls bidens action a step in the wrong direction. now, its worth mentioning that she is on the subcommittee fo...

President, why now? >> well, norah, the white house had been hoping that congress would take this step. it did in it. it represents a major change to immigration policy. we are told that the president is going to sign this executive order tomorrow. cbs news has learned that the new order will allow u.s. immigration officials to deport migrants without processing their asylum claims any time the number illegal border crossings goes through opus specific threshold, and sources tell cbs that thresh...
