Editorial: With Title 42 ending, Biden relies on the same failed immigration policies (via latimesopinion )
The border management strategy known as Title 42 has allowed the United States to expel asylum-seeking migrants en masse for the past three years using a public health pretext. It’s not surprising, then, that many state and federal lawmakers have been trying to hold onto the Trump-era order for dear life. After all, Title 42 comes straight from the playbook that Republican and Democratic policymakers have relied on for decades.
None of these policies have stopped desperate people fleeing countries ravaged by violence or authoritarian regimes from trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Migrants brave jungles teeming with bandits, travel atop dangerous trains and walk through scorching deserts for the opportunity to live and work without fear. And they’ll continue to do so even after Title 42 ends Thursday, when the COVID-19 pandemic emergency is lifted.
That’s because the mishmash of policies that the Biden administration will use to replace Title 42 relies on the same concept of trying to scare migrants from arriving at the border, rather than addressing the root cause of migration.The U.S.-Mexico border is a complex region not easily reduced to sound bites that sometimes turn out to be just myths — or convenient lies.
Severely limiting the option to apply for asylum has resulted in tens of thousands of migrants stranded on the Mexican side of the border in Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana, often in squalid or unsafe conditions and subject to crime and violence. Many observers expect that when Title 42 lifts, migrants will rush to the border with the mistaken idea that restrictions have been dropped, overwhelming Border Patrol officials.
