The goal is to circumvent immigration courts so asylum officers can get to "yes" under the rules the Biden administration has written, instead of the law.

Key Points:

The goal is to circumvent immigration courts so asylum officers can get to "yes" under the rules the Biden administration has written, instead of the law.
In response, FAIR filed a public comment urging them to rescind the proposed rule, and instead implement reforms that will actually discourage illegal immigration into the United States, remove incentives to submit fraudulent or frivolous asylum claims, and regain order at the southern border.
Asylum abuse is rampant as the administration has shown minimal effort to protect the integrity of our legal immigration system.
With over 3 million members and supporters nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests.
