Asylum Requirements Tightened:   The Trump administration announced a change in asylum rules which prohibits aliens who enter the U.S. illegally to claim asylum.  Kathryn Watson of CBS News reports that, in order to be considered for asylum, immigrants would be required to cross into the country at an official port of entry.  There are several of these along southern borders of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California  such as Rio Grande City in Texas, San Luis in Arizona or Calexico in California.  In announcing the new rule, Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen told reporters, "Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility."  The American Civil Liberties Union immediately called the rule illegal.  The betting starts on how quickly a federal district judge in San Francisco will issue a nationwide injunction to block enforcement of the new rule.
