Advocates concerned Biden's immigration executive order could cause troubles in Florida

President Joe Biden signed an executive order Tuesday to temporarily limit the number of migrants who are crossing the border illegally, which will certainly have ripple effects across the country and in South Florida.

While Florida is not a border state, historically, it has been known to absorb mass migration. For decades, South Florida has been and continues to be a major destination for migrants.

“It’s just a complete betrayal the president purported to represent in terms of immigration policy when campaigning," said Thomas Kennedy of the Florida Immigrant Coalition.

The president's policy is causing concerns among immigrant advocacy groups, including Kennedy, who called this action a repeat of the Trump-era asylum ban. Advocates are also pointing out that Biden’s new policy may cause legal troubles.
