Title 42 shifted attitudes about migration - south of US border

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : The U.S. debuted a phone application in January for scheduling appointments with U.S. officials (CBP One) that has confounded many migrants, and President Joe Biden announced the opening of regional centers in Central and South America to process asylum claims, which could create new pressures in those countries - as it has in Mexico.
51% : Since March 2020, the U.S. has used its authority under the public health law known as Title 42 to rapidly expel migrants and suspend their right to seek asylum.
51% : In January this year, Mexico received roughly 13,000 applications for asylum - more than double the number the same month in 2022, according to Mexico's refugee assistance agency.
49% : Her family has been languishing in a migrant shelter, waiting to get an appointment with United States officials to request asylum - a disheartening reality for millions of migrants in northern Mexican border cities over the past three years, since the U.S. issued Title 42.
46% : Like most at the shelter, he's biding his time until he secures an appointment with U.S. border patrol to make his family's asylum claim.
38% : He says he was violently harassed by Mexican officials while camping out by that vigil, which spooked him so much that he turned himself into U.S. border agents in search of asylum.
