Unless we reinstate Corvid, Trump's EO that enacts Title 42 can not be reinstated.
For more than three years, the federal government turned away over a million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, including those who are seeking asylum, using the public emergency health order known as Title 42. It was launched by the Trump administration at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued under the Biden administration till May of 2023.
As soon as this executive order was lifted, hoards of migrants hit our southern boarder and peaked at 249,000 during Dec 2023. Since then migrant crossings have fallen 77% by Aug 2024. It is projected that crossing will continue to fall to 90% of the peak by the end of 2024.
There are serval reason's for the decrease in migrants hitting our southern boarder.
- The Biden's EO that limits the number asylum interviews per month to match the number of available interviewers.
- The Change of policy requiring that all immigration interviews be schedule with the CGP One app.
- Mexico's tightening security at their southern boarder.
The public health order that quickly expels migrants to Mexico was launched early in the pandemic. The Biden administration plans to end its use May 11.
