Mixed Reactions to Biden's Handling of Border Crisis

President Biden said the US-Mexico border looks "much better than you all expected" after the expiration of pandemic-era policy Title 42, which allowed officials to expel migrants quickly without an asylum process. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said border patrol agents have seen a 50% drop in the number of migrants crossing the border since Thursday. Biden has no immediate plans to visit the border, arguing it would "just be disruptive." The Biden administration's post-Title 42 plan requires migrants to schedule an immigration appointment through an app or seek protection from countries they passed through on their way to the U.S. border.
