From my understanding when seeking
asylum, you are already inside the United States and within the first year of being
in the states you are able to apply and see if you qualify to stay. According
to the article, Trump is currently doing an experiment by sending asylum
seekers back to Mexico to see if it reduces the amount of people trying to seek
asylum. On the contrary people are still waiting weeks in line to reach the
border seeking asylum, knowing they have to wait another couple of months in a
migrant shelter to hear their case. This is becoming a concerned since most of
the migrant shelters are also being closed down and are worried about
saturating the shelters.
Rights groups are suing the U.S.
government for trying to close the program, which plaintiffs say break the law
and endangers refugees.
