Administration Eases Restrictions On Asylum Seekers With Loose Terror Ties

Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., complained that the administration was, on its own, altering the Immigration and Nationality Act. "What is the point of Congress passing a law if the administration abuses its 'discretion' to say that law simply no longer applies?" he said.

The Washington Times also reported Thursday that a 2009 fraud assessment found at least 70 percent of asylum applications had signs of fraud.
