Biden Administration Issues Rule to Rubber-Stamp Frivolous Asylum Claims
(March 24, 2022, Washington, D.C.) — The following statement was issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to the issuance of a joint interim final rule explicitly designed to speed up the processing of frivolous asylum seekers at our southern border:
“Today’s joint interim final rule effectively allows asylum officers to rubber-stamp frivolous asylum claims. These changes are a thinly-veiled attempt to normalize the high number of illegal aliens surging across our southern border and mask the increased surge that the Biden administration anticipates will occur in response to the ending of Title 42.
“The rule – like nearly every Biden administration policy change – does nothing to discourage illegal immigration, nor does it eliminate any incentive to make a fraudulent credible fear claim. Rather, the rule will simplify and weaken the credible fear review process and will result in a higher rate of aliens without adequate claims being granted asylum or receiving protection from removal. This will encourage more illegal immigration and fraudulent asylum claims, which is the Biden administration’s end goal.
