Immigration Advocates Praise Decision to End Title 42 Border Policy - The Tablet

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Dylan Corbett, executive director of the El Paso-based Hope Border Institute, noted in a statement that "with strong collaboration and support from the administration, we can safely and humanely receive those seeking asylum."
57% : In the lawsuit, they argue the "unlawful termination of the Title 42 policy will induce a significant increase of illegal immigration into the United States with many migrants asserting non-meritorious asylum claims." Bishop Seitz acknowledged that the immediate influx of migrants that will take place once Title 42 is terminated "will be greater than anything we've seen to this point," but he refuted the notion that terminating Title 42 and restoring the asylum process will create a long-term border crisis.
50% : A total of about 1.7 million migrants have been expelled by Title 42 in two years, a figure that includes repeat crossers, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data.
49% : Father Pat Murphy, director of Casa del Migrante Tijuana, a non-profit group that assists migrants in Tijuana, Mexico, told The Tablet that "it's about time" migrants have the opportunity to present themselves for asylum.
45% : "We've felt for a long time that the federal government should be doing more, not only to process those who are making a claim of asylum, but also to help them in their movement when they come," Bishop Seitz said.
22% : Title 42 is a border policy implemented by former President Donald Trump's administration -- and continued by President Joe Biden's administration -- that allows the immediate expulsion of migrants and limits their legal right to seek asylum.
