On Wednesday, the Biden administration and Mexican government came to an agreement on policies to deter illegal immigration across the border and deport non-Mexican migrants. Left-leaning articles highlight that the new agreement between the two countries will allow the U.S. to deport non-Mexican migrants back across the border for the first time, while right-leaning articles highlight that the agreement comes just a week before Title 42, which contains pandemic-era restrictions on migration, is set to expire.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that the U.S. and Mexican governments came to an agreement on new immigration policies that prevent illegal migration ahead of the expiration of pandemic restrictions on migration. The five-point plan says that Mexico will continue to accept migrants turned away at the U.S. border, and up to 100,000 people from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador who have family in the U.S. will be allowed to live and work in the country.
A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlighted that the new agreement between the two countries will allow the U.S. to deport non-Mexican migrants back across the border for the first time. The statement includes the statement that Mexico will continue to take in migrants from certain countries for “humanitarian” reasons. The Post highlighted that border officials say the deportations to Mexico act as more of a deterrent to illegal immigration than previous policies.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlighted that the agreement comes just a week before Title 42, which contains pandemic-era restrictions on migration, is set to expire. The Biden administration has launched a parole program that allows 30,000 migrants from four specific countries to gain entry into the U.S., which it said has led to a decrease in illegal migration in the first few months of 2023. Fox highlighted that the Biden administration has warned that after Title 42 ends, it will remove those who do not have a legal basis to reside in the U.S.
