The United States warns that it will continue to expel migrants after lifting Title 42

USA warned this Wednesday that it will continue to expel migrants who cross the border with Mexico irregularly despite the lifting of Title 42, a health regulation used until now to expressly repatriate the undocumented.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkasexplained in a statement that after December 20 the Title 42, due to a court ruling, but assured that migrants will continue to be expelled under another policy known as Title 8.

“I would like to be clear about this: with or without Title 42persons who cannot establish a legal basis for remaining in USA they will be expelled”, said the person in charge of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The Title 8which will be applied as of December 21, also contemplates “accelerated expulsion processes” and entails consequences such as “the re-entry ban for five years for people who are expelled”Mayorkas added.

The person responsible for immigration policy issued this warning because it believes that “smugglers will spread incorrect information to take advantage of vulnerable migrants” after the end of the Title 42.

More than 1,500 people crossed the Rio Grande border last Monday night and turned themselves in to the US authorities in the city of El Paso (Texas).

Faced with criticism from local authorities, who feel neglected by the Joe Biden government, Mayorkas vindicated the “prudent planning and execution work” of the dhs at the border

However, he admitted that immigration personnel “are managing a number (of migrants) that exceeds more than double” that for which it was established, and asked the Congress more resources to strengthen the immigration system.

A federal judge has ordered Title 42 to be lifted by December 21, established in 2020 by the Donald Trump Administration and also used by the Biden Government.

During fiscal year 2022 (from October 2021 to September 2022), US authorities made 2.7 million migrant arrests at the border with Mexico, a record number.

The Republicans have announced that they will try to impeach Mayorkas for his immigration management once they regain their majority in the Lower House starting in January.
