DHS statement on the Trump administrations plan to stop people who entered the US illegally along the southern border from applying for asylum. Read the interim final rule s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspect…
The rule says that once its combined with a presidential proclamation, it will channel asylum seekers to ports of entry where they can "be processed in a controlled, orderly, and lawful manner."
But as we've seen at the border, the ports of entry don't have the capacity to take in the number of asylum seekers showing up. As a result US border authorities turn asylum seekers away and make them wait, a method called metering.
A government watchdog report found that the inability of immigration authorities to handle the number of people legally seeking asylum at ports of entry along the US border likely forces many to cross into the country illegally buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
The interim rule is expected to be applied to a presidential proclamation that's likely coming out Friday that will bar people who enter the US illegally at the southern border from being eligible for asylum.
