The U.S. is expected to expand Title 42 border expulsions while opening a legal path for some migrants.
— The Biden administration is planning to announce on Thursday a"carrot and stick" migration management strategy that officials hope will reduce thealong the U.S.-Mexico border, two people familiar with the plans told CBS News.
This expanded legal pathway, which would be capped at 30,000 admissions each month, would be paired with a deterrence measure designed to discourage illegal entries along the southern border, the people familiar with the plans said. Under the plan, migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti would face immediate expulsion to Mexico under the Title 42 pandemic-era measure if they cross the U.S. border illegally, a policy shift that would require the consent of the Mexican government.
The expansion of Title 42 to include migrants from Cuba and Nicaragua would be a seismic shift in U.S. policy, as the vast majority of the tens of thousands of Cubans and Nicaraguans processed along the southern border over the past year have been released and allowed to seek asylum due to their home countries severely limiting U.S. deportations.and Nicaragua have contributed to record levels of U.S. border apprehensions in the past year.
President Biden will outline his strategy along the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday at the White House in what will be his first speech solely focused on border policy. Mr. Biden is also expected to call on Congress to reform the U.S. immigration system and legalize so-called DREAMers and other immigrants living in the country without legal status, including farmworkers, a person familiar with the speech said.

More than 1 million of those encounters resulted in migrants being expelled from the U.S. under Title 42.
