US Should Consider Trump’s Rule on Illegal Immigrant Families New research shows why the US failed in Afghanistan

According to media reports, the US government is considering re-detaining families who have illegally entered the United States in the future. According to the New York Times, President Joe Biden’s administration has not yet made a final decision on whether or not to reintroduce the family rule from the days of former Prime Minister Donald Trump. “I’m not saying it will be considered. (…) And I’m not saying it isn’t,” White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre responded to reports Tuesday.

The move would be a clear reversal in Biden’s migration policy. Trump originally introduced such a rule, detaining families who had entered the United States illegally for the entire duration of their asylum or immigration process. This should also act as a deterrent. The Democrat Biden largely abolished this practice after taking office. However, he is under pressure as the corona entry restrictions known as ‘Title 42’ are expected to be lifted in May. Then a stampede is expected at the US-Mexico border.

Biden’s spokeswoman rejected any comparison to Republican Trump, insisting she would not comment on “rumours”. The Department of Homeland Security is currently investigating how to proceed after the expiration of “Title 42”.

Recently, the US government had already announced a significant restriction on the right to asylum. Anyone who enters the US illegally and has not yet completed an asylum procedure in a transit country will be deported in the future. There should be exceptions to this. According to the plans, asylum seekers must first register via an app and then receive an appointment within 14 days for legal entry to submit their asylum application. (sda/dpa)
