Title 42 Led to 1.5 Million Deportations. Biden Should've Repealed It Earlier.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : This allowed a bypassing of traditional court processes, and a de facto shutting down of the land border to those hoping to claim asylum after crossing into the U.S.
46% : Now, in the spring of 2022, with thousands of desperate would-be-asylees (including a growing number of Ukrainians) being turned back daily after trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico to claim asylum, the Biden administration has finally announced that it is changing course.
36% : Instead, faced with a massive increase in the numbers crossing the southern border every day, and a groundswell of political dissatisfaction regarding its handling of the border "crisis," the Biden administration found it politically expedient to keep the rule in place.
33% : The rule was a byword for cruelty in the last 10 months of the Trump administration -- on a par with the Muslim travel ban; the public charge rule that made it all but impossible for immigrants hoping to gain permanent residency to access any public services; Trump's determination to build a border wall; and the obsessive efforts to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
17% : It was, for Donald Trump's anti-immigration henchman Stephen Miller, the culmination of years of lobbying to use Title 42 as a catch-all regulation that would allow the administration to essentially shut down the southern border and deny sanctuary to pretty much anybody claiming asylum in the country.
