Episode notes
Title 42 Impact Comparison
- The Trump administration used Title 42 to effectively shut down the border, leading to a decrease in illegal immigration.
- The Biden administration, however, implemented exemptions to Title 42, which triggered the current border crisis.
Expedited Removal Loopholes
- Expedited removal, the proposed replacement for Title 42, has loopholes, especially regarding asylum claims.
- Migrants can exploit these loopholes by claiming asylum, leading to release into the U.S. and a long backlog.
Border Crossing Observation
- Bensman witnessed migrants crossing the border in El Paso, bypassing the official system due to long wait times.
- The Biden administration's processing of some migrants further encouraged this behavior, signaling a system collapse.
