46% : Far more concerning is the expansion of Title 42 expulsions that will now apply to more people seeking to exercise their legal right to seek asylum," she said.
46% : The use of the health order, which immigration advocates say is no longer needed, created a backlog in Mexico of migrants seeking asylum in the U.S.
45% : The measures will make it easier for border authorities to quickly expel migrants who enter the U.S. between legal crossing points and revive country agreements where would-be asylum-seekers, who passed through a third country, must show they failed to receive protections there before asking for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.
45% : Other immigration advocates criticized the sponsorship requirement for those seeking asylum.
38% : Reaction Jonathan Blazer, director of border strategies at the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement that Biden recognized that seeking asylum is a legal right, but the plan continues to tie the current administration to anti-immigrant policies instead of restoring access to asylum protections.
24% : Mayorkas said migrants who "circumvent available established pathways to lawful migration and also failed to seek protection in a country to which they traveled on their way to the United States" would be ineligible for asylum in the United States.
