Inventing An 'Invasion,' Trump Eliminates Asylum Rights At The Border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Along the border, Trump has shut down CBP One, the app that migrants could previously use to schedule an appointment at a port of entry and be allowed into the United States to pursue an asylum claim.
44% : " The report added: "Two Customs and Border Protection officials, who requested anonymity to discuss internal guidance, said migrants will not be allowed to see an immigration judge or asylum officer under Mr. Trump's edict, which effectively suspends U.S. obligations under domestic and international law to ensure people fleeing persecution are not returned to danger." "Put simply, this order ends asylum at the United States border for anyone fleeing danger, even for families persecuted on the basis of their religion or political speech," Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project and a frequent litigator against federal immigration policy, told CBS News.
41% : But Trump also signed an executive order Monday that essentially prevents all asylum claims along the southern border, on the grounds that the current reality counts as an "invasion," and that he is asserting an emergency authority to suspend entries "[w]henever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.
31% : " In the order, Trump announced that he is "suspending the physical entry of aliens involved in an invasion into the United States across the southern border until I determine that the invasion has concluded."
25% : Biden's asylum restriction cited similar legal authority as Trump's, though it did allow migrants to make their initial case to asylum officers.
