The new Interim Final Rule on asylum is well thought out. People who really need asylum will be protected, but without the permance of US asylum. From the text of the rule:
"The
regulations would ensure that aliens in this category who establish a reasonable fear of
persecution or torture could seek withholding of removal under the INA or protection
from removal under regulations implementing U.S. obligations under Article 3 of the
Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment (“CAT”). "
