In hopes of cutting down on fraud and abuse, Attorney General Bill Barr has implemented a a new ruling requiring that individuals seeking asylum in the United States be held in detention facilities until their court date.
Essentially, Barr is ending catch-and-release of those claiming asylum.
New ruling by Attorney General William Barr ends "Catch and release,"part of a larger Trump Administration effort to deter asylum seekers from entering the US illegally.
There has been a massive spike in migrants claiming asylum at the border regardless of whether their claims have merit or not.
Congress needs to fix our asylum laws by raising the credible fear standard and tightening eligibility to prevent abuse of the system.
"Lengthy backlogs in asylum processing undermine the integrity of the asylum system. They delay legal protection for individuals who are legitimately fleeing persecution and have valid asylum claims. Further, such delays are a"pull factor" for illegal immigration," a report from the State Department details.
"By providing protection from removal, they create an incentive for those without lawful status to enter and remain in the United States. Asylum applicants also are eligible to obtain employment authorization after their asylum applications have been pending for six months, creating an incentive to file frivolous or fraudulent asylum applications."
