Tens of thousands of Central American immigrants who are victims of gang violence and domestic abuse now have a better shot at winning asylum in the U.S thanks to a new policy change that has sweeping implications for how the United States treats vulnerable people seeking refuge there.

A pair of decisions by the Department of Justice reversed one of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s most draconian immigration policies by reinstating provisions that give survivors of gang and domestic violence a chance of obtaining asylum.

The shift is one of the most significant by the Biden administration, and could serve as a balm to activists who accuse the president of not moving fast enough to reverse Trump’s anti-immigrant policies that made it harder for migrants to gain entry into the U.S. and also to win asylum after they arrived.

My question is just what exactly is the Biden administration doing to protect AMERICANS from violence of gang bangers who are allowed easy entry to this country?   :shrug:
