The Biden administration is weighing Trump-like asylum limits as it braces for the end of Title 42 border restrictions.

earlier this week, has alarmed advocates for asylum-seekers, who have called on the Biden administration to reject deterrence-focused policies they say ignore international and domestic refugee law, which allows migrants to request humanitarian protection, even if they entered the country illegally.a similar policy, known as the"transit ban," to disqualify most non-Mexican migrants from U.S. asylum. But the policy was ultimately struck down in federal court.

The U.S. asylum system was designed to protect migrants fleeing persecution because of their race, nationality, political views, religion or membership in a social group. But a mounting backlog of cases has crippled the government's ability to decide asylum cases in a timely fashion, placingand creating an incentive for other migrants to use the system to work in the U.S.

A DHS plan released at the time called for a surge in resources and personnel to the southern border, increased collaboration with migrant services groups, a crackdown on human smugglers and efforts with countries in Latin America to deter U.S.-bound mass migration. However, like under Title 42, the U.S. may not be able to deport all migrants under the expedited removal process due to logistical and diplomatic reasons. Countries like Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela have, in recent years, limited or rejected U.S. deportations.
