Biden Will Temporarily Bar Most Asylum Seekers At US Border

The NPR Politics Podcast

04-06-2024 • 12 mins

Following several record-high months for migrants crossings at the U.S. southern border last year, President Biden is taking executive action to swiftly deport would-be asylum seekers when the seven-day average of unauthorized crossings exceeds 2,500. It echoes past Trump administration policies and, pending expected court challenges, implements provisions laid out in a doomed bipartisan reform proposal negotiated earlier this year.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and immigration correspondent Sergio Martínez-Beltrán
