asylum

The Trump administration is repurposing a mobile application - originally created to facilitate asylum appointments - into a way for undocumented migrants already in the US to "self-deport".

His claim that foreign countries had emptied their asylums into America was not true.

Responding, a Home Office spokesperson said: "The Tories had 14 years to reform immigration and asylum, yet they left a system in chaos and our borders weaker."

A Home Office source told the BBC the Conservatives had left the asylum system in chaos and that their suggestion would be totally unworkable.

During the Biden administration, illegal or undocumented migrants would appear before an immigration officer who would do a preliminary interview to determine if each person had a case for asylum.
