On the Texas border, Democrats split on possible end to Title 42 policy
According to this article on Kera News, by Julián Aguilar
“As the Biden administration is expected to end a controversial directive that’s led to the rapid expulsion of asylum seekers at the border, a Texas Democrat sees the move as a possible window toward reimagining some aspects of current U.S. asylum policy.
But elsewhere in Texas, some Democrats are balking at the proposal and say the shift will lead to an ever-increasing climb in migrants seeking entry into the United States.
According to multiple reports, the Biden administration will end the policy — generally referred to as Title 42 after a provision in the United States Code — in late May. Title 42 was put in place in March of 2020 as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and has been kept in effect despite a drop in cases domestically. Civil and immigrant rights groups have criticized the policy because it denies immigrants their legal right to seek asylum in the United States.”
