His own party. he s being slammed for this. is this going to help them? i think it will actually some immigration public opinion tends to move in the opposite direction from immigration policy. that s been my experience running about this since the early 1990s when republicans are in, when trump was in, there was pretty broad resistance to a lot of the harb hard-line measures that he pursued. separation, obviously, of kids and their parents at the border what are remain in mexico under biden, there s a broad sense that it s too tolerant. and there is now much more support for many of the harsher things that trump wanted to do. i don t think biden can close that gap. yeah, entirely in given all it s happened in the last few years, but i do think that adopting this, which was kinda the sharpest tool in the armory hurry of that bipartisan senate bill gives him more ground to stand on to say, look, i m taking reasonable steps to secure the border and this allows them, i think also a stronger position to criticize some of the things that trump wants to do in a second term. peculiarly, mass deportation.
Campaign trail when he s attacked on this. i have taken a hard line on the issue. the question is, you know, was it too late doing this? look, i think the shorthand on this election is pretty straight forward. if in october this is about donald trump, donald trump has a good shot to win. if in october this is about joe biden i think donald trump is going to win. it s hard to recall in a campaign where the two major party nominees wanted the conversation to be about the other guy instead of them. go ahead, claire. i was going to say the headline in the new york times is effectively biden adopts trump s stance on immigration. i m going to set aside this sort of immigration policy for a second, but does biden actually get any credit when it looks like he s according to the times not the bastion of conservatism. he s adopting trump s line on immigration? i don t think it loses him any votes on his left flank
Asylum. this executive action is not banning asylum. but it is the responsibility of the federal government and of the executive to define and execute what immigration policy is and is not in the united states. i m wondering, lee, you know, it seems as though failure from washington means that the ones who were determining and executing immigration policy are the cartels. and you see that all this means it is further exploitation of human beings, men, women and children. so where does that responsibility lie, lee, and who is responsible for acting on immigration? right, so i think that s a fair point. what i mean by banning is i mean banning people that enter between ports from applying for asylum. and congress has been very clear that you may apply for regardless of where you went, people can t always get to a port and very few spots, so it is overwhelmingly going to ban
Divided. this is the dynamic netanyahu thrived on for many years, this willingness to interfere in u.s. politics and use support from republicans as a source of leverage against democrats. unfortunately, the stakes are high, not just for israel but for the united states in gaza. that s why this is such an unusual dynamic, to say the least. ben, your context is invaluable. raf, of course, everything you are reporting from the ground. thanks to both of you. executive action. how the president s new immigration policy is playing at the border and within his own political party. this is andrea mitchell reports. this is msnbc. hi. what s your name? this is our new friend. we ll talk about it later, ok? what does a cat need? chewy s here. no, no, no, no. is that good? hey, wait! come back! is this normal? ask the chewy vet team.
Top stories bureaucrats day one of present biden s new immigration policy. the new rule means that thousands of migrants may be quickly deported instead of staying in the u.s. while awaiting their asylum. cbs s lilia luciano reports tonight from the border. reporter: we just got to the end of the wall here in arizona. of course, mexico is on that side, and as we were arriving, they told us that we just missed the moment that this group of 15 people from bangladesh arrived here to this encampment. what happened is smugglers take them there, they walk across, and they wait here for border patrol to pick them up. what s going to happen to them now that the policy has changed? that s the question. volunteers to those who commit humanitarian aid across the desert appeared to be the word really gets out and more people get deported and the word starts breaded, then you might see a change. norah: out to a historical lift off. two nasa astronauts are right now on their way to the

That s never happened before in america, you come to the united states and you make your case that i seek asylum based on the following on the following premise, why i deserve it under american law? they re shedding a squalor on the other side of the river what do you say to voters who look at where president biden was in 2020 and where he is now on the cusp of signing this executive order a look what i would say to voters is that there s no comparison and the way the president biden approaches immigration policy and former president trump, when trump was president, he was putting kids in cages. we are still working honestly reunite families that trump s separated because of his immigration policies. i don t think that there is any comparison at all. and what we re talking about. and in fact president biden has spent every single day while in the oval office working on both south towels to bring leaders together from the republican and the democratic party to get comprehensive immigration reform done. and when he had a deal, donald trump calls bigger johnson on, told him to kill it
Because he didn t want president biden to quote, get a political when we see donald trump continuing to stay in this race, only for himself, he is not interested in solving problems like immigration in america. he has only interested in making sure that he scores political points or doing whatever he can to get his way. he thinks he s above the law and that s who donald trump is. so i would say to those voters that there is simply no comparison to donald john supposed to immigration policy and that of president biden s. well, and what you re referencing there, it ll be familiar to people at home because this was that attempted a bipartisan immigration bill that happened on capitol hill back in february. and what he s signing tomorrow, what was initially a core part of that legislation? obviously, it failed after president trump told people not to vote board. but, but when this was initially your consideration, we heard from democrats, including congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. cortez, who said in part doing trump impressions, isn t how we beat trump. are you prepared for pushback from liberals, from progressive voters? if this executive order
Access to citizenship, but also the dhaka recipients, those dreamers who have been here their whole life. who the trump administration just ripped it away from them. and they d been living in limbo for years. this is a tough issue for biden politically because it divides his coalition just like israel, gaza does. but this issue is hurting him politically because most most americans have demanded action at the border. so what do you think trump s response will be to this given the fact that it s sometimes has some echoes in the past and what he is proposing as you mentioned with senator lankford some believe he put his thumb on the scale to tank that endeavor. what will trump s say? he ll lie about it? misrule. represented he won t understand it. it doesn t matter what trump says about the kids that i mean, i wonder about the minor is today we re gonna be the exception to this, and i think most people remember about immigration policy. they think sadly children in cages, family separation and beyond is there a concern that with the minors being an exception that that will lead to an incentivizing children coming alone well, i i m not sure. i don t know
Say this is a good step forward. we need legislation from congress and i will continue to work on this because it s important for my state and national security and immigration policy. we also need comprehensive immigration that will benefit our economy. that s where congress comes in. sandra: we will continue to monitor this coming at the white house right now while noting there are many democrats speaking out against the president s action he is about to take. congresswoman jaya paul has said she does not think this is the
