But the bottom line is that there\u2019s this clear bipartisan effort and attention to ways to potentially limit the population of people who could qualify for asylum in the U.S.,\u201d said Jorge Loweree, managing director of the American Immigration Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s something that we don\u2019t anticipate is going to go away.

And places like Cuba and Venezuela or others with limited direct flights would largely be cut out from applying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only those within Mexico or Canada would be able to travel by car to present themselves at the border and seek asylum, cutting off many who otherwise travel throughout Latin America to arrive at the border.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden rule assumes those who do not first get denied for asylum elsewhere are ineligible for asylum \u2014 an assumption they can seek to challenge in immigration court, a higher bar for what is already a difficult protection to secure.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?w=900\" alt=\"Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)\" class=\"wp-image-4001753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=160,90 160w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=1280,720 1280w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=645,363 645w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=320,180 320w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=256,144 256w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=512,288 512w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=640,360 640w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=876,492 876w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=960,540 960w, https:\/\/thehill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/mccarthykevin_051123ag01_w.jpg?resize=50,28 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 876px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) speaks during a press conference after the passing of Secure the Border Act on Thursday, May 11, 2023.<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The American Civil Liberties Union sued over the policy just minutes after it took effect shortly after midnight Thursday, noting in a press release that it successfully challenged a similar Trump-era policy in court.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe asylum bans were cruel and illegal then, and nothing has changed now,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p>But the similarities between the Trump and Biden plans weren\u2019t lost on Biden allies either.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>One-time Biden challenger Juli\u00e1n Castro,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JulianCastro\/status\/1656382446538051623?s=20\">shared on Twitter<\/a>\u00a0a clip of one of the 2020 presidential debates, with Biden pointing to former President Trump and calling him \u201cthe first president in the history of the United States of America that says anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country.

The world has seen the largest displacement crisis in recorded history. I don\u2019t care how horrible you make this process for them. They\u2019re going to come as long as what is here is not as horrible as what they left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has defended its new rule, arguing that it\u2019s been paired with other lawful pathways for migrants to come to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Still, those pathways have their own limitations. Only citizens from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti can apply for temporary entrance to the U.S. But to qualify they must secure a U.S.-based financial sponsor and already have a valid passport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cW\u200be believe that rule is well within our statutory authority. And we have tied it to an expansion, a historic expansion \u2026 of our lawful pathways for people to come directly to the United States at the end of the day,\u201d Blas Nu\u00f1ez-Neto, chief operating officer at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said on a call Friday with reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Loweree said that program, combined with an increase in visas and the use of an app to book appointments at the border, will collectively mean pathways to the U.S. for hundreds of thousands of people, gains that will be countered by the new asylum regulation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe regulation that has come into effect, though, steers the other way. It will cut a lot of people out, a lot of people who should otherwise qualify for protection, for reasons that are largely arbitrary,\u201d he said, adding that many other countries do not have meaningful asylum systems in place.<\/p>\n<p>But Quigley said the programs rolled out for Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians aren\u2019t enough, especially because many in those countries either won\u2019t be able to secure a financial sponsor or may not have a valid passport, particularly those who have already fled to another country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is that they were crafted in a way that the most vulnerable were never going to qualify for them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
