White House tries to allay concerns as end nears for Title 42 border policy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Pedro De Velasco, director of education and advocacy for the Kino Border Initiative, said the border policies are becoming "stricter and inhumane." "How can we look our brothers and sisters into their eyes after they have survived the most unimaginable violence and persecution and tell them that the only way to access much needed asylum is through a dysfunctional application like CBP One," De Velasco said.
41% : Some organizations have criticized the plan to make migrants seek asylum in the same countries they are trying to flee or others that are dangerous.
35% : Those crossing illegally will be barred from entering the U.S. for at least five years and be ineligible for asylum.
34% : The Trump-era Title 42, implemented at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, allows for quicker expulsion of migrants on public health grounds before they can seek asylum and has been used more than 2 million times.
28% : "If anyone arrives at our southern border after midnight tonight, they will be presumed ineligible for asylum," Mayorkas said.
