European Union leaders and top officials hailed on Wednesday Dec. 20, 2023 a major breakthrough in talks on new rules to control migration, but critics said the reforms will weaken the rights of asylum-seekers and encourage more morally dubious deals with countries that people leave to get to Europe.
