Communities at the U.S. southern border are bracing for the end of Title 42. They expect an influx of migrants crossing the border and needing care and shelter.
The pandemic-era immigration law was enacted under the Trump administration, and it will end under the Biden administration.A surge at the southwest border could be what local communities are facing, as Title 42 is set to expire May 11.
"When a migrant comes in, they get the same care everybody else gets," said Dr. Robert Trenschel, the president and CEO of Yuma Regional Medical Center. The emergency department received about 200 migrants a month at the worst of it during this period, with illnesses ranging from dehydration to pneumonia to fractures.
"Many of the babies wind up in our neonatal intensive care unit. Mom often gets discharged before the baby, but we never want mom and baby separated, or sometimes we'll just keep mom and pop her in a room here for a number of days until her baby is out of the neonatal intensive care unit, or we'll put them up in a hotel," Trenschel said.Temporarily housing the migrants costs money, too. The hospital has requested government funding, but they still don’t have an answer.
