Title 42 expiration brings uncertainty and chaos to U.S.-Mexico border.

The Biden administration plans to revert to an even earlier foundation of immigration policy when the Trump-era Title 42 authority runs out this week. For many of the migrants who have crossed the border and hope to make asylum claims, they will face increased hurdles – and face potential increased penalties if the government determines their claims aren't legitimate. With Title 42 gone, the new watchword will be Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The law was enacted in 1952 and its provisions have guided border enforcement for decades.
