The Battle to Protect Asylum: Implications of a Border Deal
Bipartisan talks on Capitol Hill are focusing on the U.S.-Mexico border and the current system for deciding who is allowed to enter the country and seek asylum. Republicans argue that the system is dysfunctional and allows any migrant to enter, claim fear for their life, and remain for years as their case goes through immigration court. Democrats are willing to toughen the initial asylum screening and reinstitute a Title 42-like power to turn back migrants immediately, while Republicans seek to bring back the Remain in Mexico policy. The number of migrants at the southern border has fluctuated, and it remains unclear how proposed changes would impact the situation.
