Theory of Poverty and the Illegal Changes to the Asylum Process and Regulations
b'The Trump administration moved to dramatically limit Central American migrants\\u2019 ability to seek asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico, an escalation of the president\\u2019s push to stem the flood of border crossers that are severely straining the U.S. immigration system. Under the rule published online on Monday, with limited exceptions, migrants who pass through another country first must seek asylum there rather than at the U.S. border, where they will be ineligible to do so. The vast majority of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border come from Central America, passing through Mexico, and in some cases Guatemala, first. These rule changes are against multiple laws and are facing retaliation. Today, we are in conversation with Rose Cuison-Villazor about recent changes to the laws on political asylum, we will also talk to the proprietors of POOR Press about their new book on the theory of poverty.\\nGuests:\\xa0Rose Cuison-Villazor is a professor of Law at Rutgers Law School.
