Title 42 is currently the most effective tool at the disposal of Border Patrol to deter migrants from attempting to cross the border illegally. By announcing May 11 as the set date for its expiration, the Biden Administration has given criminal Cartels ample time to prepare to increase their vast human smuggling operations upon its termination.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, has previously warned that abolishing Title 42 could lead to 18,000 migrants per day — more than double the historic averages we’ve seen over the last two years.
As Title 42 is set to expire this coming Thursday, I want your feedback.
