Asylum seekers sent back to Mexico under Biden’s new policy

Following President Joe Biden’s asylum policy enacted in early June, many families seeking asylum have found themselves displaced.
With the change, some asylum seekers who cross the border illegally are being sent back to Mexico almost immediately.
An Arizona Customs and Border Patrol spokesperson said apprehensions have decreased by 25% since the policy was enacted in early June.

They're usually political dissenters. We welcome them. 2. Illegal: doesn't ask entry permission. Use force. Invade. Disrespects our laws. Not vetted. Don't learn our laws/constitution, or English. Law breakers = illegal. They aren't welcomed. They take. 3. Immigrant: asks permission to entry legally. Get vetted for criminals, terrorists, & disease carriers. Learn our laws/constitution & English. People who helped make America. Our grandparents. Immigrants are welcome. Proper terminology does mean a lot.
