Pax­ton Asks Court to Imme­di­ate­ly Halt Biden’s New Open-Bor­ders ​‘Asy­lum’ Rule Imple­men­ta­tion


"Not only that, but this entire Rule is just a way for this Administration to accomplish their real goal: a mass influx of illegal aliens into the United States."

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion earlier today for preliminary injunction to stop the implementation of the Department of Homeland Security’s new Rule unlawfully altering asylum and parole procedures at the border. The motion follows on AG Paxton’s original complaint first filed last month.

If the Rule goes into effect, Paxton says, it will immediately make it much easier for illegal aliens to enter the U.S. and obtain asylum status through false claims.

According to the Texas Attorney General, President Biden’s new Rule would:
 
  • Exacerbate loopholes in the illegal-alien removal process
  • Prioritizes alleged efficiency over national security and costly impacts to Texas, and
  • Ignores common-sense solutions and effective border-security policies
The predictable result will be a massive increase in non-meritorious asylum claims.  

“The Biden Administration has made it clear that they do not want to abide by the Constitution or the rules and regulations set by Congress, especially regarding the Texas border,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said.

“Federal law requires genuine asylum and parole claims to be carefully managed and scrutinized by an immigration judge, not a bureaucrat rubber-stamping patently false claims. Not only that, but this entire Rule is just a way for this Administration to accomplish their real goal: a mass influx of illegal aliens into the United States.

"I’m asking the court to put a stop to the Rule before it goes into effect," said Paxton.
