The President has issued a new border security order.

The executive order clamps down on migrants seeking asylum at the southern border. Governor JB Pritzker says comprehensive immigration reform is needed and a recent bill that was working its way through Congress was a step in the right direction. But that effort was derailed - so he says steps by President Biden needed to be taken.

Chicago had become a forced destination for migrants and asylum seekers last year and this past winter as the Governor of Texas was bussing people to the city.
