Former US ambassador Joe Hockey says President Joe Biden should learn from Australia’s experience on asylum seeker boat arrivals as he tries to limit the surge of migrants on America’s southern border.

Although there are differences between the asylum seeker challenges faced by the US and Australia, Hockey said there were obvious parallels.As Labor did during the early days of the Rudd-Gillard era, Democrats have placed a strong emphasis on so-called “push factors” driving migrants to leave their home countries. Republicans have emphasised the “pull factors” drawing migrants to the US.

Young unaccompanied migrants, from ages 3 to 9, watch television inside a playpen at the US Customs and Border Protection facility in the Rio Grande Valley, in Donna, Texas.Under Biden’s changes, unaccompanied minors can now enter the US and, after a short period in detention, live in the community while their immigration claims are processed.
