The Biden Administration proposed a rule this week that would accelerate the pace at which certain migrants could be processed and denied asylum after crossing the southern border. As the President seeks a tougher approach on immigration, Hispanic Caucus Chair Nanette Barragan (D-Calif.), urges Biden to not turn away innocent people.
The regulation seeks to cut down on illegal border crossings by targeting those who are deemed ineligible for asylum because of criminal records or who are assessed to be national security risks, according to NBC News. The proposal has been in the works for months and will be published by the Department of Homeland Security.
