Proposed Asylum Rule Change by Biden Administration

President Joe Biden's administration is considering a rule change to tighten asylum rules and reduce the release of criminal migrants into the US before the 2024 election. This move is seen as a strategy to boost Biden's low poll numbers. The proposed change affects a small number of migrants. The administration's catch-and-release policy has allowed foreign criminals to enter the US and evade deportation. The policy is criticized for encouraging migrants to hide their criminal histories to pass asylum tests.
