Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has reminded the public about how the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris issued nearly 300 executive orders that have shaped the White House's "mass immigration" and "open borders" policies.
On Sept. 9, Kennedy brought up on his official account on X that Biden signed a flurry of executive orders to overturn the immigration and border policies of former President Donald Trump.
"Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office," Kennedy wrote.
A 2021 report from CBS News noted that, upon being inaugurated, Biden immediately dismantled major parts of the immigration legacy of the Trump administration. That day, Biden signed six immigration-related executive orders, including halting the construction of the border wall with Mexico, pausing most deportations from the interior of the United States for 100 days and rescinding the travel ban that targeted several Muslim-majority and African nations.

Biden also announced the suspension of the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy, which forced non-Mexican asylum-seekers to await U.S. court hearings in Mexico. The president also took steps to protect the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shields over 640,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. The court blocked Trump’s efforts to end DACA, while Biden strengthened the protections for DACA children, the so-called "Dreamers."
Other executive actions included revoking a controversial Trump order to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census count and ending the national emergency declaration that allowed Trump to redirect military funds to build the border wall.
Biden-Harris administration promotes mass immigration and open borders
A January 2022 press release from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) further proved these claims, when it found out that Biden issued 296 executive orders related to immigration during his first year as president.
"Of Biden's 296 immigration actions, 89 have reversed or started to undo Trump policies, making clear the administration is doing more than unraveling his predecessor's policies," the report stated.
"The Biden administration’s actions cover a wide range of issues – greatly narrowing the number of unauthorized immigrants vulnerable to arrest, detention and removal; lifting some barriers to U.S. entry and to accessing immigration benefits; and raising the refugee resettlement ceiling to 125,000."
MPI also stated that many Trump-era policies remain in place, especially the more technical ones. This could be due to various reasons, such as a lack of prioritization, the difficulty of reversing them, bureaucratic resistance or even support for some of these policies by the Biden administration.
