The Democrats urged Biden to work with Congress to find ways to address migration on the southern border in a way that protects the rights of asylum seekers.
. Those who sought asylum without going through a new process at a port of entry will also be barred from asylum.
The Democratic lawmakers wrote in their letter to Biden:"We are further concerned by the administration's announcement that it will be issuing a proposed rulemaking in the coming days that would require asylum seekers to first apply for asylum in a transit country instead of allowing them to seek their legal right to asylum at our southern border. This, in effect, is a transit ban."
"The courts rightly rejected the Trump administration's attempt to categorically end asylum when he similarly required asylum seekers to seek asylum in transit countries. Specifically, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that the Trump-Era Third Country Transit ban violated well-settled U.S. asylum laws that prohibit turning people away unless they have 'firmly resettled' in a transit country, especially not if conditions in the transit country are not safe.
