Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — In a 6 to 3 decision, the U.S Supreme Court has ruled that migrants trying to enter the U.S claiming asylum cannot do so while still in Mexico. They have to apply once they are on U.S soil. The decision will now clear the way for the Trump Administration to reinstate a policy of posting more agents at the border to stop asylum seekers before they enter the U.S. The policy of blocking asylum seekers before they are processed at the border is known as “metering.” The Trump administration said in court filings that even though the policy is not currently in use, it is a “critical tool” to address surges of migrants at the border.
