Biden To Pitch Asylum Changes Or Something

But, will he? Will it make any difference? And, if it actually worked, will he keep it if he wins in 2024, or just end it?

Biden administration set to pitch new asylum changes

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.

That change would effectively allow the U.S. to expedite the removal of migrants whom officials see as potentially ineligible to stay in the country due to national security or public safety risks, per all four people, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about the administration’s plans. The Department of Homeland Security will announce the new policy via a proposed rule on Thursday.

Whoa, hold up there. Why would we allow any illegal to remain at all if they are national security or public safety risks, even if claiming asylum? They aren’t “potentially ineligible”, they are are ineligible, per the law as it stands. This is what multiple laws state, including the absurd asylum law.

And by expedite, how long? It should be immediate, but, seeing what Biden has done these last 3+ years, it won’t be immediate. They’ll probably be let go with a promise to return for their hearing years from now. So, unless this new rule includes too-sweet deportation, it means nothing.

The announcement is not slated to include several sweeping changes to migration policy that Biden administration officials have weighed, such as using a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to bar migrants from seeking asylum in between ports of entry. Those larger-scale changes are not expected to get proposed until June at the earliest, according to the four people.

The biggest and best change, forcing people to apply outside the U.S. and wait for the determination, will be used just ahead of the Democratic National Convention as a way to attract voters, but, never implemented.

Thursday’s announcement likely won’t spur the kind of blowback from the left that an asylum ban would bring. But some immigration advocates are concerned about the implementation challenges the administration will face on the proposed rule. Already, credible fear screenings take asylum officers a few hours to complete. The new policy would further extend the process, putting more pressure on asylum officers who are already facing record demands.

There are also concerns about whether migrants, who will have little time to seek counsel before the preliminary screening, would get effective or proper legal representation under the proposed rule.

Ship the illegals to the areas where these “immigration advocates” live: see how they like having criminals near them. Of course, this is all window dressing. Biden won’t actually do anything, this is optics before an election, and, it’s weird that Biden has said for a year and a half that there was nothing he could do. This is all to settle down the Democrats in the areas like Chicago, NYC, Boston, Denver, and others who have received huge numbers of illegals.
