Biden administration proposes rule to limit asylum-seekers at southern border

he Biden administration has proposed a rule that could limit asylum-seekers at the southern border.

The rule is intended to discourage dangerous migrant treks and illegal border crossings.

But some question how effective the rule would be, and the policy proposal is already being criticized by immigrant advocates and some Democrats.

“It is beyond disappointing that the Biden administration is moving forward with an anti-asylum policy that is copied from the cruel transit ban issued by the Trump administration,” reads a statement from Southern Poverty Law Center official Erin Argueta.
