Unlawful crossings along the U.S. southern border in February remained at a two-year low for the second consecutive month.
— Unlawful crossings along the U.S. southern border in February remained at a two-year low for the second consecutive month, illustrating the dent that stricter policiesthis year have made on the unprecedented migration flows recorded since he took office.
Those stricter rules have been paired with the expansion of a program that allows up to 30,000 migrants with American sponsors to fly to the U.S. legally each month, as well as a mobile app that gives hundreds of asylum-seekers the chance to request entry along official border ports of entry on a daily basis.
El Paso's nongovernmental shelters, run by faith groups and nonprofits, are also no longer severely overcrowded. A shelter for up to 85 parents and children near downtown El Paso was only housing three families this week, down from over 140 migrants in December. A nearby gym repurposed as a shelter is now accepting single adults in addition to families, after rejecting them in December due to lack of space.
But Nicholls expressed concern that migration could rise again once Title 42 lifts, saying the federal government should be dispatching more resources and personnel to help border communities. He noted Yuma only has one bus line and no formal systems to feed and house migrants. Federal officials have warned that daily migrant arrivals could spike to 13,000 once Title 42 ends absent a major policy change.
Garcia said the recent federal policy changes also run contrary to Mr. Biden's campaign promises to dismantle former President Donald Trump's immigration legacy and manage migration humanely. Instead, Garcia said, Mr. Biden is embracing asylum restrictions like Title 42 and"has become the expeller-in-chief."
