Title 42 expiration sparks mixed reactions on US-Mexico border.
The expiration of Title 42 has led to a surge of Central American migrants at the already strained U.S.-Mexico border, prompting the Biden administration to implement a patchwork of policy solutions, including a new rule that will bar most people from applying for asylum if they cross the border illegally or fail to first apply for safe harbor in another country. Border cities are struggling to manage the influx of migrants, troops have been deployed, and political divisions over the country’s immigration system are bubbling up.
