The post-Title 42 border crisis hasn’t happened, but Biden officials are still holding their breath
Immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. are stuck in a makeshift camp between border walls between the U.S. and Mexico.Ultimately, administration officials concede that one month is too early to know the long-term impact of Title 42 ending. There is broad uncertainty as to whether these patterns will hold and how migrants will decide to proceed in the coming weeks and months as desperation levels continue to rise.
In anticipation of the end of Title 42, which allowed border agents to immediately expel millions of migrants on Covid prevention grounds for more than three years, the Biden administration took a carrot-stick approach, combining tough consequences for unlawful border crossers and an expansion of lawful pathways and processes for those coming to the country legally.
But more detailed explanations for the drop in the number of border crossings may be things that the White House finds politically uncomfortable to discuss. Immigration experts, former administration officials, and lawyers working with migrants on the ground, note that the Biden administration’s policies are more punitive than Title 42.
This is likely why encounters between ports of entry skyrocketed to more than 10,000 in the days leading up to May 11, said Dylan Corbett, founding executive director of the nonprofit Hope Border Institute. Migrants were trying one last time before punishments grew harsher.
