The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says people seeking asylum at the border with Canada will have less time to consult a lawyer before making their case, as U.S. President Joe Biden's asylum halt makes its way to Canada’s doorstep.
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer speaks to a British Columbia motorist at the Peace Arch border crossing in Blaine, Wash., across the Canada-U.S. border from Surrey, B.C. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says people seeking asylum at the border with Canada will have less time to consult a lawyer before making their case, as U.S. President Joe Biden's asylum halt makes its way to Canada’s doorstep. Biden announced sweeping changes mostly targeted at the U.S.
The procedural change means people entering the U.S. from Canada will now have four hours to consult with lawyers. It is a significant drop from the previous 24-hour time frame, said Kathleen Bush-Joseph, a policy analyst with the Migration Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. It led to a dramatic drop of people crossing into Canada from the U.S. at unofficial border crossings, but the number of people travelling in the opposite direction has started to increase.
“he possibility of terrorists crossing the U.S.-Canada border is deeply concerning given the deep penetration of Gazan society by Hamas,” Rubio said in the letter, after Canada pledged an increase to temporary visas for Gaza residents looking to join family members in the country. Bush-Joseph said lawyers have already seen fallout from the policy. Four hours is usually not enough to hear an asylum seeker’s background, find out if they are eligible for exemptions and prepare them for the interview, she said. There are additional hurdles in some cases, like not speaking the same language or the lawyer being unable to view documents.
