**Border Challenges Require Humane, Effective Solutions**

**WASHINGTON, D.C.**- A Supreme Court decision today means that Title
42, an asylum-blocking measure first implemented as an emergency measure
during the COVID-19 pandemic, remains in place for now.

The court will determine whether 19 states will be permitted to
intervene in a lawsuit challenging the legality of the policy. 

"Title 42 is a failed border framework," said

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"It benefits smugglers, contributes to disorder at the border and is
partially to blame for an increase in border crossings. November's
high number of border encounters is only the latest example.

"President Biden and Congress must implement secure, orderly and
compassionate border solutions immediately. Border communities already
have been experiencing challenges from the anticipated short-term
increase in migration with Title 42's end.

"We are encouraged that the administration has been planning to deal
with increased migration upon Title 42's end. It must follow through
with humane, effective responses. It must not resort to exclusively
deterrence-focused measures that do not work, such as restricting asylum
between ports of entry, preventing asylum claims from people who have
traveled through third countries, or instituting Title 42's provisions
under another name.

"Ultimately, Congress must also lead and address the border as part of
broader, equally urgent immigration reforms."

Last week, the National Immigration Forum published a white paper about
steps the Biden administration can take

dangerous journey to the U.S. southern border.
