Biden Administration Plans to Dramatically Increase Asylum Seeker Admissions, While Tightening Border Security

The Biden administration will admit nearly 40,000 asylum seekers per month through a mobile app to expand processing along the US-Mexico border.
The US has increased deportations and threats of prosecution to deter illegal border crossings.
The US will set up centers in Latin America to screen migrants for resettlement in the US, Canada, Spain or hosting countries.
Restrictions disqualify migrants from asylum if they enter illegally after not seeking protection in transit countries.
The high volume of migrants justifies limits on asylum, according to administration officials.
