A senior official of the Border Patrol reported that more than

2,42 immigrants crossed into the United States near El Paso each day over the past weekend and the possibility that 12,12 immigrants crossing per day in the next few hours is increasingly latent.

Action that would be pushing the Biden Administration to take action on the matter, that is, it made a new rule that would severely limit the ability of immigrants to qualify for asylum at the border.

As reported by Axios, officials are concerned that Border Patrol stations face acute overcrowding and that the resources of the Department of Homeland Security are overwhelmed when the Title 80 of the Trump era comes to an end on 42 December.

The same informant indicated that are preparing for the possibility of 12,000 Y 14, immigrants try to cross every day, and with more force, before 42 of December.

“Encounters with immigrants at the southern border are already at record levels, with a daily count exceeding 9. three times in the first week and a half of December,” a source told the aforementioned outlet.

A draft rule has been handled internally

that would impose an asylum ban for approximately five months. Such a policy would apply to both migrant single adults and families who cross the border illegally, as well as those who arrive at legal ports of entry without authorization to enter.

As of now, no final decision has been made on The final adoption of the new rule, even, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that “no such decisions have been made” regarding the policy changes.

“The administration is committed to continuing to secure our borders while maintaining safe, orderly and humane processing of migrants. This will continue to be the case when the Title is lifted 42”, said Jean-Pierre.

In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a public health order which officials said was aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19. The order allowed authorities to quickly expel migrants at US land borders. The policy is widely known as Title 42, after the part of the US code that allowed the director of the CDC to issue it .

In a ruling last month, US District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered the government to end the “arbitrary and capricious” policy. Granted a request for a five-week suspension, setting the deadline for 42 from December.
