The Biden administration will propose new changes to the asylum system on Thursday, four people familiar with the matter told POLITICO.
The forthcoming changes will address the stage at which migrants can be found ineligible to apply for and receive asylum. Under the current system, eligibility is determined based on a number of factors during the interview stage — the administration is set to propose applying these standards during the initial screening stage.

Read the entire article at the link. This system suffers from a chronic lack of asylum expertise, haphazard “any reason to deny” procedures, and an astounding, and deadly, lack of due process, fundamental fairness, and professionalism at all levels! More “summary denial procedures” will greatly aggravate, rather than solve, these problems!
Democrats, Democrats! Your endemic unwillingness and inability to stand up to and aggressively counter GOP nativist lies and fear-mongering on immigration and human rights, despite a huge body of practical expertise to draw upon, could lead to the end of American democracy!
🇺🇸 Due Process Forever!
