Biden Speedy Border Removals Program at Work

In the 2024 presidential campaign, former President Trump often rails on President Biden’s “open border” policies.  

 

CBS News rebuts the claim that President has embraced anything akin to open borders:

“Biden’s executive action [earlier this year] has upended U.S. asylum law, which generally allowed migrants physically on American soil to request asylum as a way to fight their deportation. But under his June proclamation, migrants who cross the southern border between legal entry points are generally disqualified from asylum.

The new rules also scrapped a requirement for U.S. immigration officials to ask migrants whether they fear being harmed if deported, placing the onus on them to express that fear in order to be interviewed by U.S. asylum officers. The measures have led to a dramatic drop in those being allowed to access the U.S. asylum system. They have also allowed officials to more quickly deport migrants from Mexico, Central America and other countries where the U.S. conducts regular deportations.”
