The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says migrants entering the country illegally will be screened by asylum officers while in custody under a limited experiment that provides them access to legal counsel
Migrants who enter the United States illegally will be screened by asylum officers while in custody under a limited experiment that provides them access to legal counsel, the Department of Homeland Security said on Friday.
The new approach will start with a tiny number of migrants next week. Officials said the trial run is part of preparations for the end of a pandemic-related rule expected on May 11 that has suspended rights to seek asylum for many.
If expanded, the new screening could bring major change to how people are processed upon reaching U.S. soil to seek asylum.

They aren't coming for asylum. The asylum claims are drummed up by liberals trying to get around immigration law. They will do anything to get new voters.
