Report: Biden Planning Executive Order to Close Border

President Joe Biden is planning to announce executive action allowing him to close the U.S.-Mexico border when the number of immigrants coming into the United States climbs to 4,000 per day, according to a new report.
It's not clear when Biden would issue the order, the New York Post reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed federal government source.
But another source close to the White House said the order would tie into a provision in the bipartisan bill the Senate rejected in February that would have given Biden the authority to start expelling migrants when border crossings reached a daily average of 4,000.
