On Wednesday, President Joe Biden’s administration rolled out new immigration policies to limit illegal entry at the border as Title 42 nears its end. Left-leaning articles highlight the challenges Biden’s proposed immigration policies face as Title 42 ends, while right-leaning articles highlight the increased number of migrants attempting to cross the border and the new rule Biden has been putting in place.
The Hill published a centrist article highlighting the near end of Title 42 and the Biden administration pushing a rule which would require migrants to seek and be denied asylum in another country before attempting to enter the U.S. Biden’s new rule targets migrants from Latin America, stating that they must enter by lawful means or else they will be deemed ineligible to enter. By limiting asylum, Biden has been criticized for “finishing Trump’s job” and causing more suffering.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted Biden’s attempt to control the influx of illegal migrants by imposing measures to allow them in by legal means. Previously, Biden had unwound many of Trump’s immigration policies for a more balanced and humane approach, including Title 42. The ending of Title 42 has prompted many migrants to approach the border, leading Biden to enact an immigration enforcement model to control the waves of immigrants crossing illegally. However, his proposals are projected to have difficulty pushing through a divided Congress.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted the influx of migrants reaching record numbers as Title 42 nears its end. Border patrol agents were reported to have detained over 10,000 migrants, with 28,500 in custody. With the numbers expected to increase as Title 42 ends on Thursday, the Biden administration has been making efforts to limit illegal entry, such as sending more border troops and implementing a new asylum rule. Republicans in Congress have also suggested a border and immigration package of their own, which was rejected by Biden’s administration.
