Tough border paradox in the USA?

By Vladan Lausevic | Vlad's politics | 26 May 2023


Terminating the Title 42 process, which allowed the expulsion of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was expected to result in a surge of new migrants. However, the projected increase in border crossings has not occurred yet. The number of attempted border crossings in recent years was inflated by Title 42 expulsions, which did not penalize people for illegal entry.

The Biden administration successfully communicated new border penalties to potential migrants, discouraging illegal crossings. Nevertheless, there are still thousands of migrants waiting at the border for legal avenues to enter the U.S. The current immigration system is overwhelmed and lacks the resources to handle complex asylum cases and process visas efficiently. Major immigration reforms are needed, but Congress has not passed significant legislation due to the issue's complexity and partisan divisions.

The political climate further complicates negotiations, with both sides holding irreconcilable positions on immigration. Despite these challenges, Congress has passed immigration reforms in the past and can do so again.
