Immigration

With just over a month until the election, the Biden administration announced tougher restrictions on asylum seekers. Under the new rules, migrants will not be granted asylum when the U.S. determines the southern border is overwhelmed with people trying to enter this country.

The new rules go into effect on Oct. 1.
