Migrants hoping for asylum reach border | USA TODAY

Four migrants share their stories of traveling to the US-Mexico border in hopes of being granted asylum.

Since March 2020, the U.S. has used its authority under the Title 42 public health law to rapidly expel migrants and, in some cases, suspend the right to seek asylum under U.S. law and international treaty.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Trump administration invoked Title 42 shortly after the coronavirus outbreak. Its purpose was to prohibit border control agencies from holding migrants in "congregant settings," like holding stations, where COVID-19 could spread rapidly. In effect, though, Title 42 gave the government the power to rapidly expel any migrant, without giving them an opportunity to make a case for staying in the country legally, including to seek asylum.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Dec. 19 blocked a plan by President Joe Biden’s administration to lift the restrictions on Dec. 21, as ordered by a lower court. The CDC in April officially rescinded the policy, saying it was "no longer necessary" after "considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19."

  1. Honestly , they shouldn’t have to register , they should get free health care by default anyways , we owe it them by being so a privileged country . They shouldn’t even have to learn English either , that’s discriminatory. Making them have to go through paperwork etc to come here legally just isn’t the right thing to do, only right wingers want that! We should be a more inclusive country and let them come. We’ll figure out everything later 😃

    1. Please, keep sending them to big cities like Denver, NYC, DC, and other sanctuary places. We need these hard-working immigrants more than ever. Diversity is our strength, our culture, and future. Some of them are non-binary escaping climate change floods. Many of those physically fit men will be selling fentanyl in our neighborhoods. Please, keep sending them, more the merrier.
      You may like it, or not, you are getting them. If there are no good paying easier jobs, they will be selling fentanyl. They will never live in rural areas, and chop vegetables. Your city has no ability of stopping anything

    2. Okay. Great. I respect your view. Now respect mine; have these people bused to your house to sleep in your family’s bedrooms, use their bathrooms, eat your food, sit around all day while you pay for their medical, dental, education and everyday needs . Foster these families, teach them the American way to assimilate to our culture, then, let all of us know how that works out for you.

    3. @Charlotte yes I agree, it was a sarcastic comment to trigger libs. They should be bussed directly to dem mayors and senators houses

  2. It’s not that we can’t,it’s that we won’t. Could actually helping these people be more expensive than what is spent not helping? Money is not more important than a Human life.

    1.

  3. Even with the current dip in cryptocurrency, I’m still glad I can smile 😊 back at my portfolio of $105,850 built from my weekly trade, I’m having my fourth withdrawal in 10 business days.

    1. My consultant is TradeWithRichard100 I found him in a business magazine where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards.

    2. If you can afford to take the risk, do everything you can to achieve financial independence as soon as possible. Thousands of people have done it.

  4. JW’S 5 YEAR IMMIGRATION PLAN

    Immigrants trying to enter the United States at our southern border must enter at designated entry centers. Those centers must be located at non-rural locations that have the resources to adequately accommodate those seeking entry. Anyone attempting to enter the southern border at any location other than the designated entry points shall be detained and deported. Anyone attempting to enter the southern border at any location other than the designated entry points shall not be eligible for entry consideration for a period of 5 years, except for humanitarian reasons (war or famine).

  5. Come to America an get free foodstamps and free Healthcare, that is the reason for all these immigrants coming. Shoot I can barely afford health care for my kids and according to the government “I make to much “.

  6. There are a million types of visas and green cards. You have to ask how they know how to come in illegally but not legally? And who supports them?
