The Biden Administration has announced that it has plans to try to crack down on the migrant situation in the United States as Title 42 is set to expire.
CBS News reports that the Biden Administration intends to increase the number of deportations of those entering the country from Latin America.
This effort comes as the Biden Administration finally intends to try to do something about the immigration crisis. This has been largely ignored by the Administration up to this point. With the election approximately 18 months away, it seems that the Biden team is finally trying to do something about immigration, or at least appears to do so.
All of this comes as Title 42 is set to expire in May. This Trump-era rule made it faster and easier to deport people who came to the United States illegally during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Biden Administration was ready to let this rule expire. Now, they seem to have to try to do something about the immigration crisis because it hasnt gotten any better over the years.
Unfortunately, the number of illegal border crossings has already increased before the new rules came in from the Biden Administration. On one day alone, Border Patrol reported 7,500 apprehensions of people trying to cross the border illegally. According to reporting by CBS, that is a 40% increase from the year before.
There are brick-and-mortar processing centers scattered throughout cities along the border. These centers determine if an individual entering the country has a legal right to be there. There are some legitimate reasons why someone might be in the United States legally, including a temporary work Visa or some other allowed reason to be within the country.
Many of these centers have had trouble keeping up with all of the migrants that they must process. Many individuals are temporarily released into the country while awaiting a court date. Those individuals may or may not attend their court date and can move about the country either way.
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas held a joint press conference. They said that the regional processing hubs are expected to process between 5,000 and 6,000 migrants each month. The workload is very high, and there isn't much relief.
