Biden officials bracing for unprecedented strains at Mexico border if pandemic restrictions lifted

“Biden administration officials who are coping with record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border said Tuesday they are making contingency plans for an even bigger surge if pandemic-related immigration restrictions are lifted in the coming days.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is due to complete its review Wednesday of the Title 42 public health order that since March 2020 has allowed U.S. agents to rapidly “expel” most border crossers. Border authorities have used Title 42 to send at least 1.7 million migrants back to Mexico or their home countries, without giving them a chance to seek asylum under U.S. law.
In preparation for a possible post-Title 42 border rush, the Department of Homeland Security has enlisted Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) officials to help prepare for as many as 18,000 migrants per day. That volume would be nearly three times the current pace of arrivals.”
