SATCHA PRETTO: "I'm not making new law, I'm eliminating bad policies," those were the words of president Biden as he signed three executive orders on immigration. To understand their scope, we go live in Phoenix, Arizona, to immigration attorney Ezequiel Hernandez. First, tell us what changes and what doesn't change after the signing of these executive orders.
HERNANDEZ: Well, we must be clear that there were three orders; one to reunite families, the other to change immigration laws in terms of policies, and the latter focuses on asylum. But all three give only generic directives, and nothing changes today.

HERNANDEZ: But they want you to know those things, I don't know if that gives the president a bad image, but I don't that think they know specifically what they want to do, because opening the United States border does represent a political problem of bad optics.
