The European Union was poised Thursday to agree new rules for how it handles asylum-seekers and irregular migrants after Germany said it would go along with the intensely-negotiated package.Part of the aim of the revised policy is for European Union countries to act together should they be faced with a sudden large inflow of asylum-seekers, as happened in 2015-2016 when hundreds of thousands of migrants arrived, most of them Syrians fleeing the war in their country.

STORY: "Elon here, I’m at Eagle Pass. I just arrived." Billionaire Elon Musk waded into the U.S. immigration debate on Thursday (September 28).While paying a visit to the Texas border with Mexico to meet with local politicians and law enforcement, Musk - a native of South Africa - said he was trying to obtain what he called an "unfiltered" view of the situation.The visit came amid an upswing of arrivals of people seeking asylum in the United States in recent days."As an immigrant to the United States, I'm extremely pro-immigrant, and I believe that we need a greatly expanded legal immigration system and that we should let anyone in the country who is hardworking and honest and will be a contributor to the United States, we should have expedited legal approval for anyone who sort of falls in that category. But then, by the same token, we should also not be allowing people in the country if they're breaking the law." Thousands of migrants have recently arrived in northern Mexico by freight trains and on buses, then crossed the border into Texas, Arizona and California.The sharp increase follows an earlier lull in unauthorized border crossings, after President Joe Biden's administration implemented a new asylum policy aimed at discouraging such activity.Musk visited Eagle Pass, where the uptick in migrants wading across the Rio Grande past coils of razor wire has been particularly notable. He called for an "expedited legal approval" as part of a "greatly expanded legal immigration system" that welcomes "hard-working and honest" migrants. "I think we want to do both things; smooth out legal immigration and then stop, you know, sort of a flow, a flow of people that is of such magnitude that is actually leading to a collapse of social services. If we don't do something soon, we're just going to have, like I said, a collapse in social services, as we're already seeing in New York.”
Elon Musk has visited the US-Mexico border where he claimed the level of illegal migration was causing cities such as New York to “buckle”.
A short distance from the border with Poland, Olaf Jansen, the director of a migrant processing centre in eastern Germany, is looking anxiously at the numbers of latest arrivals.To arrive at the Polish border and cross in to Germany, there are two main routes for migrants.
Musk's also claimed on X on Wednesday that the US needs a border wall to keep migrants who don't have "some shred of evidence to claim asylum" out.
STORY: U.S. border officials have found themselves in many moments like this recently, receiving migrants of all ages pushing across the Rio Grande, undeterred by coils of razor wire and against new rules by President Joe Biden’s administration to try and stymie illegal immigration. Large groups have been trying their luck to cross the river into the United States near a railroad bridge in Eagle Pass, Texas. Reuters witnessed migrants, at times including small children, navigating the strong river currents, then squeezing between razor wire laid along the banks by the Texas National Guard. Once on U.S. soil, they wait in the hot sun to turn themselves in to border officials for processing, carrying with them little more than hope:“That they give us a chance - we want to work, we want to succeed for our families. We want to work, we want to progress, we want a new life, we want a good future for our family, all with God's favor.” Biden’s new rules were rolled out in May. They order asylum-seekers to make an appointment to enter the U.S. at a legal port of entry, through a government-run mobile app. Those who don’t could face a higher bar to asylum and potentially, swift deportation. Migrant numbers plunged at first, as the new rules took effect. But illegal arrivals, mostly Venezuelans who have to trek through South and Central America, have soared again. And that’s created a new wave of political pressure on Biden, who is running for re-election next year. His likely challenger is Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, who made hardline immigration policy central to his time in office. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has repeatedly blasted Biden, a Democrat, for failing to curb illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. And the Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas said over the weekend, his border city was at “breaking point” under the influx of arrivals. Border agents are under pressure from critics like Abbott for helping the migrants. On Tuesday, Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens pointed out, U.S. territory begins in the middle of the river. “By the time the migrants encounter our agents, they are already in the US... If they start getting swept away by the currents, if they start succumbing to the environment, the extreme temperatures, the humidity you all feel right now, and my men and women see that, they are not going to let somebody die or get into harm's way.” Earlier this month, at least nine people died trying to cross the river into Eagle Pass. Still, the dangers of the journey – and Biden’s tougher consequences for illegal crossing – don’t seem to be a deterrent. And it’s despite apparent efforts by Mexican authorities to stop migrants from traveling north to the border. The Department of Homeland Security and Mexican immigration officials did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. Meanwhile many migrants like this young mother say they would rather risk the consequences to get into the U.S. than face desperation at home.
