The Biden administration is proposing new rules, similar to a Trump-era policy, to reduce fraudulent asylum claims and discourage illegal immigration by presuming asylum ineligibility for migrants crossing through other nations to reach the U.S. Southern Border.
Under Biden, fiscal year 2022 saw 2.76 million illegal immigrant border crossings. The Biden administration and Democrats are also pushing for citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
Migrant apprehensions along the Florida coastline during the first four months of Fiscal Year 23 exceeded the count for the entire Fiscal Year 22. Agents in the Miami Sector apprehended 4,681 migrants since October 1, 2022.
In the 2022 fiscal year, 2,176 Chinese nationals were encountered at the southern border, while in the 2023 fiscal year, in just the first three months, southern border patrol agents reported 1,915 Chinese migrants attempting to enter the country.
