Alejandro Mayorkas downplays fears of immigrants surge after Title 42 ends
The United States has been gearing up for a massive surge at the border over Title 42's expiration for over a"year and a half," according to a top official.
"If they come to the border, they will receive a consequence under our enforcement authorities," he added. With Title 42's expiration, fears have increased that a flood of migrants will pour across the U.S.-Mexico border, believing they can get in and remain. In response to the looming lifting of the policy, the Biden administration has announced it will dispatch 1,500 active-duty troops near the El Paso region to assist with the situation.
