The number of migrants requesting asylum at ports of entry along the southwest border doubled in fiscal year 2018 from the previous year, according to Customs and Border Protection data released Monday. But the new data also show that the percentage of foreigners who entered the country illegally before requesting asylum stayed flat in 2018, raising questions about the Trump administration's purely law enforcement-focused response to migrant caravans. The CPB data shows more migrants are doing exactly what the U.S. government has asked them to do: present themselves at a port of entry to make their asylum claim. |
