NEW YORK – Catholic leaders have said that President Joe Biden's new executive actions which will limit illegal immigration in order to gain control of the southern border, disregard U.S. asylum law, and will have serious human consequences.
Most notably, Biden’s executive actions will bar migrants who cross the southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum, at least until the numbers of people trying to enter are reduced to meet certain thresholds. Migrants who apply at ports of entry are exempt from the new rules.
