U.S. is rejecting asylum seekers at much higher rates under new Biden policy
A new Biden administration policy has dramatically lowered the percentage of migrants at the southern border who enter the U.S. and are deemed eligible for asylum.

A new Biden administration policy has dramatically lowered the percentage of migrants at the southern border who enter the United States and are allowed to apply for asylum, according to numbers revealed in legal documents obtained by The Times. Without these new limits to asylum, border crossings could overwhelm local towns and resources, a Department of Homeland Security official warned a federal court in a filing this month.
"Could overwhelm" local towns and resources? How about "are overwhelming" those local towns as they have been since shortly after Biden took office and issued la invitacion?"
Under the new rules, people who cross through a third country on the way to the U.S. and fail to seek protections there are presumed ineligible for asylum. Only people who enter the U.S. without authorization are subject to this new restriction.
So, the Trump policy, Lite.
The number of single-adult migrants who are able to pass initial screenings at the border has dropped from 83% to 46% under the new policy, the Biden administration said in the court filing. The 83% rate refers to initial asylum screenings between 2014 and 2019; the new data cover the period from May 12, the first full day the new policy was in place, through June 13.
This will unfortunately have no effect on illegal immigration other than to fool gullible people into thinking that Biden is finally doing something about the crises he created.
The border will still be wide open, illegals will figure out that they need to claim to be from Mexico and have not passed through any other country, or claim a medical emergency, or any of the other loopholes, and the ten thousand people a day will continue to pour in, and continue to stay.
Because what happens when an asylum seeker is rejected? Immediate deportation? Of course not, that would make sense. Instead, they are placed in "removal proceedings," in which several appeals are allowed. It takes years, and the illegal is allowed to stay in the states and has no incentive to even appear in the proceedings if they think they might be rejected.
