Feds Announce Plan To Head Off Looming Surge Of Illegal Immigrants

Migrants gather at a crossing into El Paso, Texas.
  • The Biden administration announced an overhaul of its approach to immigration on Thursday, promising would-be illegal immigrants new chances to reach the U.S. as long as they don’t rush the border.
  • In roughly two weeks, the government will lose its Title 42 border expulsion authority. This pandemic-era tool has helped prevent the border crisis from becoming a catastrophe.
  • Officials said they still expect a surge of illegal immigration when Title 42 ends on May 11. They hope the new steps will eventually persuade migrants that they can earn a chance to enter the country if they wait but will be barred if they don’t wait.
