Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% :Immigrant rights groups, who filed the lawsuit, argued that the rule violated U.S. law protecting the right to asylum, regardless of the manner of entry into the country.
38% : The Supreme Court eventually permitted the Trump administration's efforts to limit asylum for those who didn't apply for protection in a country they traveled through before reaching the U.S. However, another Trump initiative to bar people from applying for asylum except at an official border entry point faced legal challenges and never took effect.
26% : Critics contended that the rule resembled two prior attempts by President Donald Trump to restrict asylum at the southern border.
