Migrants from countries such as Turkey, Jordan, Guatemala, Nicaragua, China and India made their way on foot into the United States today before being met with by Customs and Border Patrol agents for processing. The United States will temporarily close its Mexico border to asylum seekers starting today, June 5, as President Joe Biden as tries to neutralize his political weakness on migration ahead of November&apos;s election battle with Donald Trump. The 81-year-old Democrat signed a long-awaited executive order taking effect at midnight to &quot;gain control&quot; of the southern frontier with Mexico, after record numbers of illegal border crossings sparked concerns among voters.
