The article talks about a memo that Trump sent out that goes over changes to the Asylum process that include, requiring a fee for asylum applications, and work permit applications among other things. I think this is an incredibly bad thing to do, I think there is a conversation that could be had about the relative merits of cracking down on Asylum seekers, but all that imposing a fee will do is bar people who really need help from getting it.
The article is written during a time where President Trump is trying all he can to pass some sort of border "crackdown" before the 2020 election. This was written for people looking for info on what Trump is doing. This was written by Priscilla Alvarez, and while some of the language could be read in an almost passive-aggressive way it does not affect the accuracy of the article. This is important because everything Trump does now could have an impact on the 2020 election so he is frantically trying to fulfill campaign promises in a way that doesn't address them fully.
