Deep dives
Biden Administration's Immigration Policy
The Biden administration's immigration policy reflects a blend of maintaining Trump-era immigration reductions and intensifying challenges for legal entry. Under the new order, there is almost a complete ban on asylum for those entering the country illegally. This enforcement marks a significant restriction on asylum eligibility, focusing on deportation regardless of potential persecution claims. The administration's stringent border policies have drastically limited asylum possibilities, creating a presumption against granting asylum, further hindering the claims process.
