Liberals and conservatives are suing to remove Biden's new border policy — for very different reasons
CBSN
Immigration advocates said President Biden's new border policy is a draconian restriction that will "effectively eliminate asylum" for most migrants. Republican officials in Texas, however, said the opposite is true, warning that the regulation will trigger an "influx of migrants" with unvetted asylum claims.

Enacted earlier this month, the Biden administration rule disqualifies migrants from asylum if they did not first seek refuge in a third country before reaching the U.S. southern border. Those who cross the border unlawfully and fail to prove they deserve an exemption to the rule face swift deportation and a five-year banishment from the U.S.
