"Biden Weighs Executive Action to Address Border Asylum Claims"

President Biden is considering an executive action that could prevent people who cross illegally into the United States from claiming asylum, suspending the longtime guarantees that give anyone who steps onto U.S. soil the right to ask for safe haven. The proposed action would have a trigger for blocking asylum to new entrants if a certain number of migrants attempt to cross unlawfully, echoing a 2018 effort by President Trump. This potential shift in immigration policy reflects a departure from Biden's earlier promises of a more humane system.
