Travel Ban: Supreme Court and Family Separations

travel ban: They are intended to circumvent laws stating that anyone is eligible for asylum no matter how he or she enters the country, according to CTV. About 70,000 people per year who enter the country illegally claim asylum, officials said. Trump invoked the same powers he used last year to impose a travel ban that was upheld by the Supreme Court, and the new regulations were likely to draw a legal challenge. We need people in our country but they have to come in legally, Trump said Friday as he departed for Paris. But those efforts have been largely thwarted by legal challenges and, in the case of family separations this year, stymied by a global outcry that prompted Trump to retreat. Trump's announcement was the latest push to enforce a hardline stance on immigration through regulatory changes and presidential orders, bypassing Congress which has not passed any immigration law reform.
