When asked by CBS’ camiloreports about Republicans’ claim that Biden administration policy is encouraging unlawful migration, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus said, “smugglers are taking advantage of…a very vulnerable population.”
The Biden administration defended Title 42 as a necessary public health measure for over a year, but it moved to discontinue the policy this spring. A coalition of Republican state attorneys general, however, convinced a federal judge in Louisiana to force border officials to continue the expulsions indefinitely.
The lower expulsion percentage can in part be attributed to the record arrival of migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and other countries where the U.S. can't expel individuals because of strained diplomatic relationships or logistical challenges. In July, nearly 50% of border encounters involved migrants from countries outside of Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle.
Magnus said he's not sure if border arrivals will return to pre-pandemic levels, noting the world is experiencing a historic displacement crisis, with millions of people forced to flee their homelands, according to the"There's unprecedented levels of cartel and gang violence in other countries, political upheaval. People are at real risk. Some of them really [face] such danger for their families, themselves, that they see no alternative but to flee," he said.
