U.S. anticipates an increase in asylum-seekers as Title 42 is set to end

Title 42, which allows the US to reject asylum-seekers without a hearing, is set to end May 11, causing President Biden to send troops to the border in anticipation of a significant increase in asylum-seekers.

Effects of lifting Title 42: Lifting the pandemic-era rule will restore migrants’ rights to a hearing when claiming a credible fear of returning to their country for various reasons.
* Migrants, especially those from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua, are currently waiting along the border for May 11.

Political criticism: President Biden faces criticism from both Republicans and Democrats on immigration matters.
