EL PASO, Texas — A single city block in downtown El Paso overflowed with hundreds of immigrants who illegally crossed the border and were released onto the streets by overwhelmed charity organizations.
Wednesday was supposed to be the first day in nearly three years that immigrants who came over from Mexico without authorization would not be immediately sent back under pandemic policy Title 42 — though President Joe Biden has expelled fewer than half since taking office.Republicans and even Democrats feared ending Title 42 could spur more people to come to the border because they do not believe they will be turned away.
Despite her view, she said she came across days earlier and was let into the U.S. — all in spite of the Biden administration's announcement in November that Venezuelans who illegally crossed the land border would not be admitted under any circumstance, including to seek asylum. The only way for Venezuelans to enter and seek asylum would be to fly into the country.
She left Venezuela on Sept. 25 and came across the border on Sunday. She and her family plan to go to Virginia but did not explain what they were waiting for. She said she is not seeking asylum because she does not believe the government is"accepting Venezuelans."
