It goes into effect in May and expires in two years. Is Brandon doing something sane for once? I had to check if this was the Babylon Bee.
The Biden administration’s new policy will penalize migrants who enter America illegally. It goes into effect in May and expires in two years:
Consistent with America’s history as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants, this proposed rule ensures enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, lawful pathways, and access to asylum and other forms of humanitarian relief for those who need it.
Under the proposed rule, individuals who circumvent available, established pathways to lawful migration – including those new processes announced on January 5 as well as a newly-available mechanism for migrants from any nationality to schedule a time and place to arrive at a port of entry – and also fail to seek protection in a country through which they traveled on their way to the United States, would be subject to a rebuttable presumption of asylum ineligibility in the United States unless they meet specified exceptions. Individuals who cannot establish a valid claim to protection under the standards set out in the proposed rule will be subject to prompt removal under Title 8 authorities, which carries a five-year bar to reentry. The proposed rule will be open to public comment in the Federal Register for 30 days. Additional detail can be found here.
The proposed rule is an emergency measure that is intended to respond to the elevated levels of encounters anticipated after the lifting of the Title 42 Order. As such, it is designed to be temporary in duration, applying to those who enter the United States at the Southwest land border for 24 months following the rule’s effective date and subsequent to the lifting of the Title 42 order.
