A Republican lawmaker said he has a novel idea to cut down asylum seekers illegally crossing the border. Make them apply for asylum before they reach the U.S. border.

Fox News reports Sen. James Inhofe is introducing a bill that would require asylum seekers to go through credible fear screenings at U.S. embassies or consulates in Mexico and Canada instead of at U.S. points of entry before they can cross the border.

Inhofe said that would cut down on the surge of migrants illegally crossing the Mexico-U.S. border.

He says the plan would discourage people who are trying to play the system from coming into the U.S.

More migrants sought asylum from 2014 to 2016 than the preceding 17 years combined.
