乔·拜登总统预计将于2011年12月15日签署一项行政命令移居据了解这一决定的消息人士透露，最早将于本周举行。
这项期待已久的行政命令将限制获准在美国南部边境申请庇护的移民人数。据知情人士透露，这将立即把他们送回原籍国，等待每日平均水平下降，一旦下降，他们就可以申请庇护。
据了解情况的消息人士称，每天遇到的人数必须达到2500人才能使该规定生效，这意味着有一天超过2500名移民将触发边境限制庇护的规定。
据知情人士透露，最近几天，国会议员听取了行政行动的简报。
政府官员警告说，任何行政命令都会在法庭上受到质疑。
国土安全部部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯上个月在国土安全部总部对记者说:“我预计，如果总统采取行政行动，无论行政行动会带来什么，都会在法庭上受到质疑。”
马约卡斯和政府其他成员敦促国会通过今年早些时候谈判并提出的两党边界法案。
得克萨斯州布朗斯维尔市市长约翰·考恩的发言人向美国广播公司新闻证实，白宫邀请他参加周二在白宫举行的一次与移民有关的会议，他将出席会议。
埃尔帕索市长Oscar Leeser也证实他将出席。他在一份声明中告诉ABC新闻:“埃尔帕索是一个热情的社区，这让我感到非常自豪，但没有一个社区能够继续我们在这场人道主义危机中无休止地投入的努力和资源。我们感谢联邦政府为我们提供的资金，这样我们的努力就不会落在埃尔帕索纳税人的肩上。但是我们的移民系统已经崩溃，国会必须制定一项两党长期计划，与其他国家合作，为我们的国家建立一个更易于管理、更人道、更可持续的移民系统。
他补充说:“我期待着在周二听到更多关于总统计划的消息，我们随时准备与我们在地方、州和联邦一级的合作伙伴共同努力。”
Biden to sign executive order on immigration as early as this week: Sources
President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order onimmigrationas early as this week, according to sources familiar with the decision.
The long-awaited executive order would limit the number of migrants that would be allowed to claim asylum at the southern U.S. border. It would immediately send them back to their country of origin to wait until the daily average goes down and, once it goes down, they would be able to claim asylum, according to a source familiar.
The daily number of encounters has to hit 2,500 for the provision to kick in, according to sources briefed on the situation, meaning that one day of more than 2,500 migrants would trigger the provision of limiting asylum at the border.
In recent days, members of Congress have been briefed on the executive action, according to sources familiar with the briefings.
Any executive order, administration officials caution, would be challenged in court.
"I anticipate that if the president would take executive action, and whatever that executive action would entail, it will be challenged in the court," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters last month at Department of Homeland Security headquarters.
Mayorkas and other members of the administration have urged Congress to pass the bipartisan border bill that was negotiated and proposed earlier this year.
A spokesperson for Brownsville, Texas, Mayor John Cowen confirmed to ABC News that the White House invited him to a meeting at the White House on Tuesday for an immigration-related announcement, and he will be attending.
El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser also confirmed he is attending. He told ABC News in a statement: "El Paso is a welcoming community, and that makes me very proud, but no community can continue the effort and resources we've expended on this humanitarian crisis endlessly. We are appreciative of the funding we have received from the federal government so that our efforts don't fall on the backs of El Paso taxpayers, but our immigration system is broken, and it is critical that Congress work on a bipartisan long-term plan to work with other countries in order to create a more manageable, humane and sustainable immigration system for our country.
"I look forward to hearing more about the president's plan on Tuesday, and we stand ready to work with our partners at the local, state and federal level on this effort," he added.
