President
Joe Biden ordered officials along the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday to begin
sending the majority of migrants caught attempting to
unlawfully enter the United States immediately back to their home countries.
The
executive order, news of which has been circulating for days, will bar those
caught crossing the border illegally from claiming asylum, with exceptions for
unaccompanied children and those that can make a compelling case their lives
are in danger if returned to their home country, administration officials said.
The
move aims to stop the practice of migrants entering the United States illegally
from staying while they await processing through immigration courts,
overwhelming cities and detention centers in Texas and other border states.
