Southern California leaders react to Biden's executive action restricting asylum claims

President Joe Biden's executive action to restrict asylum claims at the United States-Mexico border will not stop migrants from trying to come to the U.S., according to the executive director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition.

CBS 8 interviewed Lilian Serrano at the border in San Diego Tuesday.

"We know from experience of other similar announcements, other similar actions, that it won't slow down migration," said Serrano. "Unfortunately when somebody's life is in danger, and they're making the toughest decision of their lives which is to leave their home and everything they know, an announcement by a foreign president is not part of the equation."

2500 a day that’s not shutting down the border

[erikandreski]

[Crankerny]

Almost 4 years that border has been open! Too little too late!

[Carolinaboi]

FJB. Already did the damage he needed.

[monicalugo]

This unhealthy women should take them into her house. She can support them.

[FigsForYou]

As if he's cared at about the millions pouring in illegally

[Peaches-ii]

Create problem, sell the solution. Typical.

[mile]

[charleskennedy]

Tax payer shouldn’t have their taxes raised to support illegals .

[maryogar]

Does he think we're stupid! This should have been done 3 yrs ago

Most migratns that cross illegally when asked by reporters why they cross, it is for work, family, free health care and other pull factors, not because there lives are in damage. Two NY police office shot by a young migrant, yesterday, show they are not vetted just released .

[Mszman]

Try and control the border??…..Just close the dang border!! You have the power!

[mariealvarez]

That lady feels bad for the illegals 🙄 what about the struggling and suffering Americans that also need assistance. Not only are they not getting assistance, they are paying higher taxes for illegals. Wrong in every level 😡

[Sjwolosz]

[thunnuso]

Ah I get it… you’ll need votes in November… too late Joe and too much damages already been done to the country and resources wasted…

[jimmyjohnson]

Thought there was no crisis at the border Joey?

[johnm]

It's funny, on a plane you're asked in case of an emergency to put on your own mask first. Why? Because if you can't breathe you can't help anyone else! Let's fix our own country first THEN help

[josemosqueda]

[Guitarzzzzzzz]

[KellyRam]
