PUBLISHED 9:48 AM CDT May 11, 2023WASHINGTON, D.C. — Migrants are already crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, and there are expectations their numbers will grow when the Title 42 public health order is lifted at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Thursday. Senior administration officials said they are “cautiously optimistic” that when migrants learn there are new penalties for trying to cross the border, there will be a change in behavior. Under a new Biden administration policy, most migrants who enter the U.S.
“We are clear-eyed about the challenges we are likely to face in the days and weeks ahead, which have the potential to be very difficult. Even after nearly two years of preparation, we expect to see large numbers of encounters at our southern border in the days and weeks after May 11,” said Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas.
Mayorkas also announced a new digital advertising campaign that he said aims to counter the misinformation being spread among transnational organizations about U.S. immigration law. The administration previously announced that it would allow a total of 30,000 nationals each month into the U.S. from the four countries where most migrants are from: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Since January, 100,000 have been accepted in to the U.S.“I think the answer to that will be determined by the capacity of the administration to process people,” said Muzaffar Chisti, senior fellow from the Migration Policy Institute.
“Advocates are going to be sharpening their knives in taking the new asylum rule to the courts,” he said. “Those are unknowns, and that will determine whether the strategy unravels or goes into effect.”
