The Biden administration announced on Tuesday that the Asylum and other legal migration pathways should remain available to those seeking protection and those not seeking protection or who don’t qualify will be promptly removed to their countries of origin.
The United States can allow people to exercise their legal right to apply for asylum while also reducing irregular migration and maintaining an orderly, secure, and well-managed border, the White House said.
The fact-sheet released by the White House said that the Administration is working to improve the expedited removal process at the border to fairly and efficiently determine which individuals have legitimate claims for asylum and other forms of protection. Asylum and other legal migration pathways should remain available to those seeking protection. Those not seeking protection or who don’t qualify will be promptly removed to their countries of origin.
“We will always be a nation of borders, and we will enforce our immigration laws in a way that is fair and just. We will continue to work to fortify an orderly immigration system,” the White House said.
The plan expanded on an announcement by the Department of Homeland Security on Monday that the administration will resume the process of expedited removal, which allows immigration authorities to remove individuals and families without a hearing before an immigration judge.
The Department of Homeland Security said the process will apply to families who can’t be expelled under Title 42, which allows border officials to immediately expel migrants found between ports of entry where a communicable disease was present.
