As asylum seekers pour across America’s southern border, the Biden administration is seeking to radically reshape U.S. immigration law to let them stay in the country.
In February, the White House announced it was assembling policies for “safe, lawful and orderly migration.” Thus far, the administration has gone 0-for-3.
Brandon Judd, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer and president of the National Border Patrol Council union, said the current surge of asylum seekers is the biggest since the agency began keeping records. Speaking to a congressional delegation in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley on Wednesday, Judd recommended setting up immigration courts at the border to quickly adjudicate asylum cases.
