US Asylum Policy: Defend It, End It, or Mend It?

Описание: The US asylum system is in crisis. Immigration courts are swamped by a backlog of applications, driven by a surge of cross-border migrants over the past decade. Public support for what was once a relatively small, popular component of US immigration is evaporating. President Donald Trump’s 2024 election owed much to a backlash against mass asylum-seeking and the perceived chaos it has wrought at the border and in cities nationwide. President Trump’s de facto closure of the border has bought time for legislative solutions, but Congress so far seems content to avoid the subject. Meanwhile, deportations and clashes between Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and protesters dominate the news.

Three veteran asylum analysts will discuss how—or if—order can be restored and the system’s essential goals preserved.
