President Joe Biden of the United States has announced a new immigration law. The law, which was made by executive action, gives American immigration officials the power to deport large numbers of migrants without processing their asylum claims, 

It has been described the most restrictive border policy by a Democratic president in recent history.

Bin is suspending all the processing of asylum claims between official entry points along the southern border. It will allow the authorities to more quickly reject and deport migrants who enter the country irregularly.

The partial ban on asyly claims will take effectat 12:00pm on Wednesday. Regular asylum processing will only be restored 14 days after the secretary of homeland security determines that the weekly average of daily illegal border crossings dipped below 1,500. The proclamation is expected to be activated again if the weekly average of daily cro ssings between ports of entry 2,500.
