The Biden administration is set to implement a new regulation tightening access to asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, aiming to reduce illegal crossings US News reported.
Under the new regulation, migrants will undergo an initial asylum screening to assess whether they should be barred from asylum and quickly deported.
Efficiency is cited as a primary goal of the regulation, with asylum seekers being screened earlier in the process for potential bars related to criminality and security threats. This move comes amid ongoing challenges faced by the Biden administration regarding record numbers of migrants crossing the border.
