Changes Under the Biden Administration

The Biden administration implemented key changes to immigration policy that significantly increased the flow of migrants into the United States. One notable change was allowing asylum seekers to enter the country while awaiting hearings, instead of requiring them to stay outside until their cases were adjudicated. This resulted in a substantial backlog of cases, as many people were allowed entry despite having uncertain qualifications for asylum. Additionally, new policies restricted the automatic deportation of individuals with felony records, which led to many criminals remaining in the country, ultimately fueling public dissatisfaction with the administration's immigration stance.
