The Biden administration’s redoubled efforts to implement asylum restrictions
The Biden administration filed a petition with the court asking for protection of asylum restrictions. |
According to the international group Tasnim News Agency
, one of the attorneys of the US President Joe Biden’s administration, by presenting a petition to an appeals court, asked to support the asylum restrictions presented by the administration.
The lawsuit says a judge made a big mistake by blocking a law that would impose new restrictions on asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A three-judge panel of California’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals took up the lawsuit, which said the law, passed earlier this year, violates federal immigration laws. In this law, it is stated that crossing the border illegally should not be an obstacle for asylum.
Meanwhile, two of these judges stated that Federal immigration law appears to give the government broad authority to consider every relevant factor in deciding who will ultimately receive refugee protection.
Furthermore, in this law, most immigrants if they first passed through other countries without applying for protection or instead of have entered through official means, have crossed the border illegally, are not eligible to apply for asylum.
Ninth Court of California in August stayed the judge’s order to block this law, and as a result, it became possible for this law to remain in force despite the outcome of the appeal not being announced.
Meanwhile, Brian Bunton of the US Department of Justice stated that this law is valid because, rather than preventing immigrants from applying for asylum, it includes several exceptions to reject the hypothesis that these immigrants are incompetent.
The American Civil Liberties Union announced that statistics show that many asylum seekers have been denied asylum due to the way they entered the United States. This is a violation of immigration law.
Joe During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden promised to reform and review the process of keeping immigrants, but with the significant increase in immigration to the United States and attempts to illegally cross the American border with Mexico, it became difficult to fulfill this promise. The failure of the Biden administration to reform these centers represents the challenge Biden faces for his 2024 campaign.
In this regard, yesterday three prominent Republicans in the US Senate presented a plan to limit the crossing of immigrants from the Mexican border and entering the US territory.
In this one-page plan presented by Lindsay Graham, Tom Cotton and James Lankford, it includes the continuation of the construction of the border wall and keeping asylum seekers outside the US borders. It is in the process of reviewing their asylum application.
Accordingly, in the plan proposed by the Senate Republicans, the construction of the wall The border that began during Trump’s presidency continues, and many immigrants do not qualify for asylum. The plan also revives a controversial policy that requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico until their asylum applications are processed..
U.S. President Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for the 2024 election, is under increased pressure to reduce the number of illegal immigrants who come from They enter America through the Mexican border.
Earlier, a US judge issued a temporary injunction barring federal immigration officials from destroying barbed wire across the country. The country’s border with Mexico was banned.
According to this ruling, the immigration officials are not allowed to install the barbed wire on the border between the state of Texas and the country of Mexico in order to To prevent illegal immigrants from crossing the Rio Grande River and entering the territory of the United States, they must be dragged, collected and destroyed. text-a..”>Mexican-US border barbed wire with cost The Texas National Guard has been deployed as part of Operation Lone Star (the nickname for the state of Texas), which was an initiative by Republican Governor Greg Abbott in 2021 to prevent illegal immigration across the border. >
In addition, a while ago According to a document published by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Joe Biden has ordered the closure of some immigration detention centers due to their high costs.
It should be said about the issue of illegal immigrants in America and their attempt to enter this country through the border of Mexico It has become one of the challenging and critical issues for Joe Biden’s government.
Since Joe Biden took office in January 2021, so far twice The record number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border of the United States has been broken. According to US Customs and Border Protection, more than two million people will cross illegally into the US in 2022.
