The Biden administration is implementing measures to tighten the asylum process at the U.S.-Canada border in response to a surge in illegal immigration. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to reduce the time migrants have to find an attorney and gather evidence for their asylum claims. This move is part of a broader effort to expedite the processing of asylum seekers and deter illegal crossings. Internal DHS documents reveal that the administration is responding to an unprecedented increase in migrant crossings at the northern border.
