A key point regarding the immigration situation

This is not about Biden-bashing. He inherited a terrible mess. Even if near-perfect measures are taken, it's going to be a while. And certainly corporate "news" media is back to pandering to the conservative-leaning older people that are its shrinking base. But this is important information.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) order Trump invoked, known as Title 42 after the section of U.S. Code dealing with public health, allows for temporary entry suspensions, which U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has used to expel any migrant, without screening for human trafficking or fear of return. An agreement with Mexico’s government allows the U.S. to expel Mexicans and Central Americans across the border, but other nationals are immediately deported to their country of origin. Those with humanitarian visas or residency in Mexico are also sent to Mexico.

Biden has kept the Title 42 order in place...

Most public-health experts say that Title 42 is a bogus health order that does little to stop the spread of COVID-19...

The main difference in Biden’s implementation is that border officials are no longer deporting unaccompanied children under Title 42. That decision, combined with confusion about Biden’s border policies among migrants, has led to a dramatic increase in the number of unaccompanied children taken into custody, transferred to the refugee office, and placed with a sponsor. In February, shelters received more than 7,000 unaccompanied children, double the number accepted in February 2020. - The American Prospect
