Since the United States reiterated its intention to maintain the limits used by the Trump administration to swiftly eject hundreds of thousands of migrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. Thousands of migrants have gone to government offices in southern Mexico requesting asylum.
While considering Republican arguments against its repeal, the Supreme Court announced last month that it would keep a policy from the COVID-19 period for expediting expulsions of undocumented migrants to Mexico. According to President Joe Biden, this may extend the limitations until June.
Analysts and authorities warn that the legislation known as Title 42 might soon be extended to other nationalities, including Cubans, Nicaraguans, and Haitians, stoking concerns of expulsions and driving migrants to seek asylum to guarantee freedom of movement inside Mexico.
German Ortiz, a Cuban migrant waiting to petition in Tapachula, Mexico, near the Guatemalan border, is anxious to reach the United States as soon as possible. Ortiz believes that the government will seal the route to the U.S. once the new rule is imposed. Ortiz got to Tapachula on December 31. Ortiz stated they couldn’t take any chances and must reach the Border immediately.
As Washington struggles with a record 2.2 million migrants arrested at the U.S. southwest border in 2022, Mexico is anticipated to take in more under Title 42.
Title 42 was enacted to prevent the spread of COVID, but it is no longer considered necessary by U.S. health officials. Advocates for immigrants say the strategy is cruel because it puts defenseless people in danger of kidnapping and abuse in Mexican border cities.
According to Andres Ramirez, director of the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance (COMAR), as many as 5,000 migrants showed up at COMAR’s Tapachula offices on January 2 and 3. A sizable number of the migrants were originally from Haiti and Nicaragua.
According to Ramirez, many asylum seekers believe they must travel via Mexico to reach the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexico has attempted to slow the flow of people trying to get into the United States by dispersing migrant caravans and erecting checkpoints around the nation.
Ramirez said that the latest influx of migrants might be people from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti trying to enter the United States before the restrictions change. He remarked, “They’re attempting to flee.”

Mauricio Hilario, a 27-year-old Salvadoran migrant, said he has been sleeping here since January 1, hoping they would assist or provide shelter. Hilario was among scores of individuals, including children, who had set up camp outside the COMAR facility.
Official records reveal that by the end of November, about 400 thousand migrants had been imprisoned in Mexico.
President Joe Biden will meet with his Canadian and Mexican counterparts at a leaders’ conference next week in Mexico City. Migration is anticipated to be a major topic of discussion.
Any expansion of Title 42, according to Lorena Mena, head of Continente Movil, a think tank specializing in migration issues, would promote dangerous migration since traffickers would urge expelled people to resume crossing the Border despite not having been legally deported.
She also said that many individuals would attempt again since crossing borders does not rob them of their rights, including their right to asylum.
