President Joe Biden’s strict asylum restrictions could become a more permanent fixture of the country’s immigration system.
FILE - Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande and entered the U.S. from Mexico are lined up for processing by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Sept. 23, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas. could become a more permanent fixture of the country’s immigration system under a proposal reportedly under consideration in what would be a considerable departure from past standards.
Exceptions in the order include unaccompanied children and victims of human trafficking. People can also schedule an appointment to claim asylum using the Customs and Border Protection app. Those who say they are fearful of returning to their home country can also seek protection in the U.S., but they have to offer that information themselves without being asked and use other programs that have a much higher bar to be granted entry.
“One of the only places we don’t have a cap is on the asylum system, not only the number of people we grant but the number of people we allow to apply because the idea is because it’s a fundamental human right to be able to seek protection, you can’t say this person has this right because they got in under a quota and this person can’t access this right because they are one person over,” said Erin Corcoran, a professor at Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs.
