Title 42 was implemented when Former President Donald Trump was in office. This policy restricted migrants to come into the United States during the pandemic and had many restrictions at the border. According to the CDC and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this title was issued to help stop the spread of Covid-19 in the United States. This title allowed the border officials to send back any migrant trying to enter the United States to their home country.
Title 42 is currently the talk around the world because it is set to end on May 11 at 11:59pm. In the United States, Covid-19 has decreased immensely, so the Biden administration is ending the Covid public health emergency, which is a reason Title 42 is also set to end. Many migrants have been camping outside the Mexican-U.S. border waiting for this day to be able to cross the border without any restrictions. There have been thousands of migrants waiting and this has made the United States worry about how they can regulate this. The United States has recommended that these migrants do not cross illegally and apply for asylum online, but of course, that process is not easy and can take years to get accepted to come into the country.
On May 11, after seeing everything that is happening at the border, the Biden administration put new policies into place. The policies are migrants who are caught crossing the border illegally will be deported and not be able to return to the United States for five years. They can also be criminally charged if caught. The Biden administration is trying to find different ways to help these migrants come into the country legally, but he is also focusing on the safety of border patrol agents and the United States.
