Biden's new asylum rules spark Democratic debate

President Biden's directive makes it stricter for asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border, leading to discussion among Democrats in Arizona and Texas. This policy stops people from seeking asylum when there are a lot of illegal border crossings, leading to those who are refused to leave the country. Helping Mexico play a key role in sending back those deported is essential because it's hard to send them far away. This directive stops legal people from entering the country, except for those who are permanent residents or children, based on how often they are encountering migrants. Democratic lawmakers and advocacy organizations in Texas are worried about the threat to at-risk migrants, but some Democrats back the action. Republican leaders view the directive as a political strategy amidst an election period. The directive uses the Immigration and Nationality Act to limit who can enter, which could lead to legal disputes. Paid advocates are anxious about the increased dangers to migrants and emphasize the need for secure, lawful pathways to migrate. The directive requests that Congress revise immigration laws, signifying a major change in how the U.S. deals with asylum claims. This decision is made during politically charged times of an election year, with more speakers at The Texas Tribune Festival in September to talk about the current crisis at the border.
