Immigration Edition.

With Title 42 scheduled to end in mid-May, The Biden administration announced a plan to stop undocumented migrants from crossing the US-Mexico border. Measures include opening regional processing centers outside the US. The first processing centers will open in Guatemala and Colombia, with others expected to follow. The facilities will process thousands of claims a month. Asylum seekers in Mexico will have access to more appointments through the CBP One phone application. In other news, the DACA program has had tremendous economic impact on its beneficiaries, according to a new poll. People reported that their DACA status helped them earn more money, get better jobs, have access to financial services, and feel confident to report a crime to the police. Analysts also comment on state bills in Texas to boost Operation Lone Star and increase the state’s intervention in immigration enforcement operations.
