Interesting: Biden To Institute Policy Requiring Asylum Seekers To Apply Outside U.S.

While there are reports of Biden considering not running in 2024, this looks like a policy where Biden can say “hey, look, I reduced the inflow of illegals” after creating the conditions where border crossings skyrocketed

Biden to replace Trump migration policy with Trump-esque asylum policy

illegal alien DemocratAs the White House gears up for the end of one Trump-era border policy this spring, it has its sights set on resurrecting a version of another much-maligned immigration program put in place under the previous administration.

The Departments of Homeland Security and Justice on Tuesday announced a proposed rule that will bar some migrants from applying for asylum in the U.S. if they cross the border illegally or fail to first apply for safe harbor in another country. The rule was previewed by President Joe Biden in January. Following a 30-day public comment period, it will be implemented upon the May 11 end of the Covid public health emergency, according to a senior administration official who briefed reporters.

May 11 is also the end date of the Title 42 public health order currently being used to bar entry to most migrants at the southern border. The rule announced on Tuesday would stay in place for two years following its effective date.

Oh, two years, eh? And then would be cancelled if Joe wins re-election

The new proposal — which immigrant advocates refer to as the “transit ban” or the “asylum ban” — is the White House’s most restrictive border control measure to date and essentially will serve as its policy solution to the long-awaited end of Title 42. Within minutes of its posting, the Biden administration faced a flood of backlash from immigrant advocates and Democrats who accused officials of perpetuating the Trumpian approach to border politics that Biden pledged on the campaign trail to end. Threats of lawsuits also began to percolate.

Would these be the same “immigration advocates” who caterwaul when the illegals are sent to their own cities and neighborhoods and want them shipped elsewhere?

All in all, it would be a good rule. Asylum seekers should be required to apply in other countries first. Anyone caught trying to enter the country should be deported immediately. Of course, a lot of this is simply for show, with lots of carveouts

(Texas Tribune) An asylum-seeker would be able to overcome the rule’s rebuttable presumption of ineligibility by showing they were denied safe refuge in Mexico or another nation they traveled through before reaching U.S. territory, officials said.

You can bet those in charge will treat the illegals with kid gloves and easily approve the rebuttal. The White House fact sheet talks about expedited removals, but, come on, those same people working for Biden will not allow this to happen. It also talks about

Tripling Refugee Resettlement from the Western Hemisphere. The Biden-Harris Administration intends to welcome up to 20,000 refugees from Latin American and Caribbean countries during Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024, putting the United States on pace to more than triple refugee admissions from the Western Hemisphere this Fiscal Year alone. This delivers on the President’s commitment under the Los Angeles Declaration for Migration and Protection to scale up refugee admissions from the Western Hemisphere.

Why implement the restrictions while also tripling resettlements? The restrictions will mostly be smoke and mirrors, a way for the administration and their credentialed media sycophants to crow.
