President Biden came into office promising to reverse cruel and irrational Trump administration policies on migration. Yet the lenient signals he sent contributed to a surge in illegal crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border by asylum seekers. The resulting
burden on states and localities caused a backlash and new Biden administration efforts to limit asylum seekers and direct them away from the border: a cellphone app to make asylum application appointments at border stations rather than try to enter the
country illegally; humanitarian parole for tens of thousands of people from a few “sender” countries who apply for entry at home; and a declaration that anybody caught trying to cross illegally will be presumed ineligible for asylum. The administration
has enlisted Mexico’s help to stem the flow.
