Congressman Andy Kim responded to President Biden's executive action to ban migrants crossing the border illegally from seeking asylum by expressing his concerns about the enforcement-only approach. Kim emphasized the need for a comprehensive strategy that includes hiring more immigration judges to address the backlog of 3 million pending immigration cases.
Kim, as a son of immigrants married to an immigrant, highlighted the importance of a more orderly process while avoiding the actions and rhetoric of the previous administration. He stressed the necessity of a holistic approach to immigration that considers the complexities of the issue.
Regarding reports in the Wall Street Journal suggesting that President Biden is showing signs of slowing behind closed doors, Kim shared his positive experiences with the President. Having worked with Biden during his vice presidency and engaging with him on various issues, Kim expressed confidence in Biden's capabilities as both president and commander in chief.
Kim's perspective reflects a nuanced understanding of immigration challenges and a supportive stance towards President Biden's leadership. As discussions on immigration policy and presidential performance continue, Kim's insights provide valuable context on the complexities of these issues.
