russia. and this is the man trying to unseat erdogan, opposition leader kemal kilicdaroglu, a soft-spoken economist and retired civil servant who's promising to return the modern turkish state to its secular roots, ally it closer to the west and bring it back into a parliamentary democracy. but it's the economy that has so many turks concernedshey struggle to cope with record-high inflation and a cost of living crisis while still reeling from a massive earthquake in february that killed over 50,000 people. at this hour it's looking increasingly like the election will go into a runoff expected in two weeks, a vote, jericka, that could reshape turkey. >> we'll be watching that closely. imtiaz tyab, thank you. there's also been campaign chaos in minneapolis. the democratic farmer labor party was holding an endorsement convention for city council candidates when the trouble began. supporters of rival candidates took the stage.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks for staying with us. for months now states along our southern border with mexico have been bracing for a flood of migrants after the expiration of a pandemic-era policy known as title 42. well, president biden even warned the nation of chaos in the immigration system. well, so far that hasn't happened. in fact, homeland security reports a 50% drop in encounters with undocumented migrants over the past f day well, some republicans in congress say they don't believe it. lee cowan has a look at america's immigration policy and how it got where it is today.

>> reporter: on the day we celebrate moms in this country there are thousands of other mothers and children living like this, on both sides of our border. the covid-era law that effectively allowed both the trump and biden administrations to expel migrants back into mexico before they could ask for asylum is no more. it expired. in its place the biden administration has imposed more restrictions on those seeking asylum, but it's really only a footnote to the larger border law that was really designed for the cold war and in no way fits the misery of this moment. >> u.s. refugee policy in the 1950s and 1960s was for europeans because remember, this was a time when a refugee was primarily defined as someone who was fleeing communism. >> reporter: our immigration policies have almost always been tied to the times, if not behind them. yael shacker, a historian and director of refugees international, says up until the civil war we didn't even have a federal immigration policy.

it was all left to the states. >> on the east coast, in new york and massachusetts, there was actually quite a bit of anti-irish sentiment. on the west coast starting in the 1850s and 1860s especially in california you start to see the anti-chinese sentiment. >> reporter: in 1882 congress passed the chinese exclusion act. it was the first time we made any significant rule to exclude anyone. that aside, though, we were still largely open. only about 2% of those who began arriving at ellis island were turned away. but by the 1920s americans began to worry that those from southern and eastern europe were putting a strain on social services, which led the u.s. to clamp down on the number of catholic and jewish immigrants. >> so they said okay, we're going to give germany and england very large quotas to come in but from italy, poland -- >> greece. >> greece. fewer numbers. they devised a quota system that discriminated based on

nationality in that way. >> reporter: the xenophobic quotas had an immediate impact. we rebuffed almost everyone trying to flee nazi atrocities, for example. >> fleeing from nazi germany into the border towns of holland is a new kind of refugee. the victim of an intolerance and persecution unparalleled since the dark ages. >> reporter: it wasn't until refugees really started fleeing vietnam in the late '70s, early '80s that we arrived at a definition of just what kind of persecution qualified a refugee for asylum. political persecution, religious persecution, being a memberof a social group just to name a few. but critics say it was all still short-sighted. >> the united states did not think of mexicans as people who would seek asylum. they did not think of central americans as really people who would be seeking asylum. >> reporter: tonight we're the north star for asylum seekers all across latin america, creating a supernova that doesn't respond well to the laws of current border physics. cecilia munoz was a senior adviser to president obama and the first latina to lead the

white house domestic policy council. >> what we're not doing is having the policy debate around what should our asylum system look like, who should we be admitting, what kind of dangers are we prepared to protect people from? >> reporter: the unprecedented number of migrants arriving at our southern border today, she says, are fleeing for reasons that don't always neatly fit that definition of refugee. >> if you're fleeing domestic violence, does that qualify you for asylum? if you're fleeing gang violence, should that qualify you for asylum? if you're fleeing because your village got destroyed because there was a hurricane, should that qualify you for asylum? >> reporter: more than 2.1 million people are waiting for the answer to that very question. the backlog is so deep the average asylum case now takes between four and five years to complete. [ speaking in a global language ] >> translator: you arrive to a country where you think they will help you based on the stories you heard. but it wasn't like that. >> reporter: henry rivas cibria began seeking asylum back in

2017, seeking refuge from street gangs and police in el salvador, who he says brutalized him for being gay. >> what would have happened if you'd stayed? >> translator: a lot. there was an attempt against my life. i have a scar on my nose. they slit it. they also pointed at me with a firearm to murder me. >> reporter: eva benash is henry's attorney. >> not everybody's going to qualify for asylum under our statute but everybody should have a right to make their claim. >> reporter: after eight months in u.s. immigration detention henry was released pending acourt date. >> regular coffee? >> reporter: for the last six years he's been living in washington, d.c. his new husband, from honduras, is also seeking asylum. >> you're never truly cofortable. you're never truly settled. and knowing it could be ripped out from you at any point, it's a tough way to live. >> reporter: last year the government decided it didn't want to spend any more resources on his case and moved to dismiss

it. and an immigration judge agreed. that leaves henry in legal limbo. he's appealing and filing a new application for asylum. but all it really does is put him right back to where he was six years ago, at the back of the asylum-seeking line. >> thank you. >> translator: i believe that the light at the end of the tunnel was getting closer. and i see the light from very far away one more time. >> reporter: it's remarkable how the pictures and the narrative have changed very little since this report on immigration back in the mid '80s. but what you're seeing here is a trickle compared to today. >> the pressures of population, poverty and politics coupled with the promise of america keep pushing the world to our borders. our current policy is immigration anarchy, full of holes and hypocrisy. >> reporter: the debate over how to fix what almost everyone agrees is broken is still at a standoff. basically, republicans want the border tightened before they address anything else. >> moments ago house republicans passed the strongest borsou has

erseen. >>oreral agree the border should be secured but want overall reform now. >> i'm lucky enough to say that i've lived the american dream. i believe it's a dream that should be available for everybody. >> reporter: while congress bickers back and forth, both the trump and biden administrations hav turned to issuing executive orders. recently the white house opened a humanitarian back door for as many as 30,000 migrants a month to enter from cuba, nicaragua, venezuela and haiti. but just like with trump's executive orders biden's have also landed in court. >> congress makes the laws. the executive branch doesn't. >> reporter: jonathan skermeti is contintennessee's attorney g. >> ostensibly the biden administration says this is a way to divert the flow away from the border almost as a relief valve. >> well, it's not legal. congress is very clear in the law. it's supposed to be for a small number of people on a case-by-case basis. >> reporter: he's joined 20

other red states in asking for an injunction to biden's parole program, calling it a blatant end run around congress. >> it's a tragedy when people are driven from their homes. and it's understandable that they want to come here for the opportunities that we offer. but if everybody comes here because of every bit of adversity they encounter we're not going to be able to take care of them. we can't wish the problem away. it's going to take hard work and hard choices to figure this out. >> putting them in prison is not going to stop them. separating them from their children isn't going to necessarily stop them, which is crazy. if we're willing to go to the extreme cruelty, it will work, but otherwise it won't. >> reporter: our track record on immigration is imperfect at best. but the two sides need to keep trying. otherwise, the statue of liberty's lamp may continue to light nothing but dysfunction and chaos. >> it's not about politics. it's not about ideology. it's about helping people in need at a time of crisis. it's really what we do when

we're at our best in this country. >> and that again was lee cowan reporting. the "overnight news" will be back in just two minutes.
