What does the end of this policy mean for the border and asylum seekers?
John,
The Biden administration is scheduled to end the Title 42 border policy on May 11, three years after it was first implemented by the Trump administration. Title 42 is a public health policy that expels arriving asylum seekers at the U.S. border without providing them an opportunity to seek humanitarian protection.
But what does the end of this policy mean for the border and asylum seekers?
Check out this quick factsheet where we explain the end of Title 42. Then, share it with your networks on social media.
Title 42 failed to treat arriving migrants with dignity and failed to create a secure and orderly border. This policy reduced efficiency at the border, put migrants in danger, and benefited smugglers and cartels.
It’s clear that meaningful, collaborative border solutions are needed now more than ever. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress must come together to pass needed immigration reforms, including border solutions that are secure, efficient and humane.
Without meaningful reform from Congress, migration will continue to pose logistical, humanitarian and security concerns.
