New Biden rule aims to speed up asylum processing

The Biden administration has announced a new rule aimed at speeding up asylum processing at the southern border. The asylum rule change would allow the U-S to quickly reject a limited group of people believed to have committed serious crimes or who have terrorist links. It would shift the decision-making from a judge to asylum officers. The new rule comes as the Biden administration has been struggling to demonstrate to voters that it has a handle on immigration. Republicans have consistently slammed the administration over policies that they say have worsened problems at the southern border.
