U.S. joins with other wealthy countries in movement to make asylum harder to obtain.
FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2019 file photo, Border Patrol agents apprehend a man thought to have entered the country illegally, near McAllen, Texas, along the U.S.-Mexico border. Immigration authorities are starting to ship asylum seekers who cross the border through Arizona to Texas, where they can be sent to Mexico to await their court hearings in the U.S. The government said its highly criticized program known colloquially as Remain in Mexico is now in effect all across the southwestern border.
The U.S. is increasingly aligning itself with wealthy countries in Europe and elsewhere to make asylum a more distant prospect. The U.N. Refugee Agency said Tuesday that the ban is at odds with international law and “could result in the transfer of highly vulnerable individuals to countries where they may face life-threatening dangers.”
The U.S. long resettled more refugees than any other country, raising its ceiling to 110,000 during President Barack Obama’s last year in office. That practice has been sharply curtailed since Trump took office, with the country planning to resettle no more than 18,000 refugees in 2020.
