The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would bar asylum for those who transit through a third country, a potential major escalation in the administration’s attempts to deter asylum-seekers, according to sources close to the administration.
The proposal, included in a draft interim final rule from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, would represent just the latest in multiple attempts by the Trump administration to discourage asylum-seekers from trying to enter the United States. Previous moves, such as banning asylum for those who crossed the border between ports of entry, were blocked by the courts, and this effort, if finalized, would likely face a court challenge also.

Should have been done by February 2017. Who would have guessed that 2.5 yrs into his first term Immigration would be 10X worse than when he was elected?

It's a pity this has "false promise" written all over it.

Yep, should have been happening since January, 2017.

It won't have happened come next January, either. I don't believe it at all.
