The Biden administration has been considering new limits on the number of migrants who could apply for asylum in the United States, which could expand restrictions similar to those put in place by the Trump administration along the border. The Biden administration is now debating whether they implement a new policy that would prohibit migrants who are fleeing persecution from seeking refuge in the U.S. unless they were first denied safety by another country, such as Mexico. The administration is considering this plan if there is a continuous influx of migrants along the border.
