US President Joe Biden has imposed sweeping new measures imposing a ban on the entry of asylum seekers into the country from the southern border with Mexico. Biden says the sweeping ban is being implemented as the number of migrants entering the United States was becoming excessive. Under the new regulations, any asylum seeker entering the country will be sent back or deported. Meanwhile, critics are saying that the new measures are like what Donald Trump had implemented when he was President. Illegal immigration remains a core political issue for American voters with election day just 5 months away.
