The Biden administration's reimposed asylum ban, despite falling illegal crossings, signals a commitment to border restrictions as the election nears, complicating asylum seekers' paths.
Effective July and August, illegal crossings dropped by 59%, raising questions about Biden lifting the asylum ban, yet stricter metrics have now made this unlikely.
As of September 30, Biden's new goals require fewer than 1,500 apprehensions for 28 consecutive days, thereby solidifying the asylum restrictions amid low immigration figures.
The White House claims the asylum ban's effectiveness is evident in the deportation of 70% of single adults or families since June, underlining the ban's intended purpose.
