Washington Sen. Lindsey Graham introduced legislation Wednesday that would, in part, change the current asylum process in an attempt to stem the flow of migrants arriving at the southern border.
The legislation would change the system in three substantial ways: It would require migrants seeking asylum to apply at a consulate or embassy in their home country or in Mexico, instead of at the southern border; it would increase the amount of time that migrant children could stay in custody from 20 days to 100 days; and make it easier for officials to deport unaccompanied minors to Central America.
