new restrictions

The new rule, subject to 30 days of comment, would take effect when Title 42, a health rule activated by Trump in 2020 with the declared purpose of curbing the covid-19 pandemic, is lifted on May 11 and which allows blocking the vast majority of migrants at the border.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), migrants will not be eligible for asylum unless they have authorization, have used the CBP One app to schedule a time and place to appear at a port of entry (unless they can demonstrate that it was impossible due to a language barrier , illiteracy, technical failure…) or were denied asylum in a transit country.

Unaccompanied children would also be exempt from the presumption of “asylum ineligibility.”

There are more exceptions, such as “acute medical emergencies” or “extreme and imminent threats to your life or safety.”

STRATEGY. President Joe Biden tries to decompress the border with Mexico where thousands of people arrive every day with the aim of crossing into the United States.

The Biden government claims that it is the only way it has to deal with migration at the border, because Congress cannot agree on immigration policy.

Republicans accuse Biden of having lost “effective control of the border,” which in December attempted to cross an average of 8,500 migrants per day, most of them with the intention of seeking asylum.

“This administration will not allow mass chaos and disorder at the border because Congress failed to act,” an administration official who requested anonymity said Tuesday.
