Breaking: President Biden is expanding the use of Title 42 to begin rapidly expelling migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, while opening a new entry path for some
The Biden administration is expanding its use of a pandemic-era border measureto begin rapidly expelling migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, while opening a new legal path for up to 30,000 migrants from those countries to enter the U.S. each month.
As of Thursday, any migrants who cross the borders of the U.S., Mexico or Panama illegally will be ineligible for the humanitarian program. The program will build on a policy, announced last October, where some Venezuelan migrants could apply to enter the U.S. legally, provided they had a financial sponsor, andunder Title 42. That policy resulted in a approximately 90% drop in Venezuelan migrants attempting to cross the border illegally.
Republicans and advocates who favor restricting immigration, meanwhile, are likely to oppose the policy because it represents a massive expansion of an immigration power known as humanitarian parole, which allows the government to let in people without visas, circumventing existing visa limits.
