The Fat Lady Sings

Rep. Eric Swalwell was the first casualty of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race, but who will be the next?

There are no less than (8) current candidates polling under 5%, including "Beto" O'Rourke and Julian Castro, two guys that were expected to be doing much better than this.

While Sen. Kamala Harris got a bit of a bump after her debate performance, she and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, remain deadlocked in second place way behind former VP Joe Biden.

Trump speeds up asylum processes, but does not seek to help migrants. This is your tactic by Telemundo (Opinion)

Under a new rule of the Trump Administration, migrants would wait less time from the moment they are arrested until they submit their documents to request asylum, however, the president's tactic is not precisely to help them.

The Acting Director of Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS), Ken Cuccinelli, has also implemented this measure. Generally, migration officials had to wait up to 48 hours to hear the cases of a detained migrant, but now, the time has been reduced to a calendar day, according to  BuzzFeed News , who obtained documents confirming that the news was extended to the officers this Monday.

According to several critics, this movement that seeks to accelerate cases would give migrants less time to prepare their files for interviews, contact a lawyer or recover from the long journey they take from Central America.

"This is another way to limit the process, which will lead to fewer interviews with credible positive fear, more deportations," said Ur Jaddou, a senior USCIS expert.

In this way, the Trump government wants to reduce the number of cases that are accepted under asylum, a maneuver that "seeks to eliminate people," Jaddou added.

Sarah Pierce, an analyst at the Institute for Migration Policy, said the policy would bring a "significant change" in the current way USCIS operates:

"At this moment, half of the asylum seekers wait 10 days or more before their case is attended by an asylum officer," he said.

However, agency officials justified the new measure and said it was part of a process that had the objective of accelerating the elimination process and increasing its effectiveness.

"USCIS is modifying the consultation period to better align it with today's operational realities. This will make the entire accelerated phase-out process more expeditious and help avoid bottlenecks in the system as DHS components continue to process the record number of people arriving at the southern border, "said Jessica Collins, spokesperson for the agency.

The interview is the first step for migrants to apply for asylum, but this procedure has been criticized by Trump as too simple. In that first meeting with the US officers, they have to show that they have fled their countries because they are afraid of losing their lives, have been extorted, threatened or have experienced episodes of violence. The 48-hour deadline gave them the opportunity to organize their ideas and present a stronger case. 

"Removing the prohibition of credible fear interviews within the first 48 hours of being in detention will prevent asylum seekers from accessing a lawyer or exploiting their rights under the law to obtain evidence and consult with the person of their choice" said Shalyn. Fluharty, attorney for the Dilley Pro Bono Project.

Also, this new policy does not give migrants the option to reschedule their interviews unless they have an extraordinary justification.
