Congressman Henry Cuellar says Biden's rule to restrict asylum is 'reasonable'

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), who's long been critical of the way Democrats and Republicans deal with immigration, says a new asylum rule proposed by the Biden administration is a 'reasonable.'

The rule, which was proposed last week, would presume that migrants are ineligible for asylum if they cross illegally, don't ask for protection in countries they pass, and don't notify U.S. authorities of their intention to seek asylum through a mobile app.

"If somebody is 1,500 miles away, it is so easy for people to say, 'Oh, yeah, let everybody in,'"he says. I know some of the immigration groups are saying,"Oh, it's a Trump-like rule." No, Trump wanted to ban people from coming in. All this is asking is that it would be an unlawful pathway to get into the U.S. People can still ask for asylum to come in.
