Any Venezuelan migrants who enter the U.S. between ports of entry without authorization will now be sent to Mexico under Title 42, according to DHS.
Migrants seeking asylum march through the streets of Nogales, Sonora to protest Title 42, Border Patrol abuse against migrants, and lack of access to healthcare in Nogales.The Department of Homeland Security announced plans that would allow U.S. officials to rapidly expel some Venezuelan migrants into Mexico in an effort to reduce the record number of people arriving at the southern border.
“These actions make clear that there is a lawful and orderly way for Venezuelans to enter the United States, and lawful entry is the only way,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas in a written news release. “Those who attempt to cross the southern border of the United States illegally will be returned to Mexico and will be ineligible for this process in the future.
The expansion of the health policy by the Biden Administration comes months after President Joe Biden tried to rescind Title 42 in May. A federal judge in Louisiana blocked the administration’s efforts, leaving the policy in place indefinitely. “Based off of numbers that we're seeing at the border, that number will be easily overpassed,” Sachau said.
Before the announcement, only migrants from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador could be returned to Mexico under the health policy. Strained U.S. relations with Venezuela made it difficult for authorities to send people back to the country. “People die and are harmed every day because of Title 42,” Sachau said. “ will not work because it's, at the end of the day, expanding Title 42 to more people, and that will put more people in severe danger and result in more lives lost.”The new process is modeled after the program created in April for Ukrainians fleeing their country after Russia’s invasion. To be eligible for the program, Venezuelans must have someone in the U.S. willing to provide financial and other support.
“It unfairly punishes the other Venezuelans who were already en route or already in Mexico and are, again, just seeking safety,” Sachau said. “They, too, deserve a chance to seek asylum, regardless of whether or not they have family here and whether or not that family has legal status.”
