Immigration

NPR -  So, is the Biden administration's immigration strategy working? It's a question many U.S. voters are weighing as the country nears a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Biden has faced criticism for both being too soft on immigration and being too harsh on people seeking asylum in the U.S. Former President Trump has vowed to be more aggressive on immigration if he's elected for a second term.  The Biden administration yesterday proposed a rule that would allow immigration officials to rapidly reject migrants who are ineligible for asylum. This change is modest in scope but it illuminates the administration's larger strategy toward thousands of asylum seekers arriving at the southern border. U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas sat down with Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep to explain what his department is doing at the border.
