Latinx Files: Immigration and border take center stage again

LA Times  

Texas National Guard troops in El Paso stop migrants from entering a popular crossing area along the bank of the Rio Grande on Dec. 20, as viewed from Juarez, Mexico. The Biden administration announced last Thursday the implementation of a new immigration policy that would expand Title 42 — the once obscure public health law first used by former President Trump — to quickly expel people from the border. “While we understand the challenges the nation is facing at the Southern border exacerbated by Republican obstruction to modernizing our immigration system, we are deeply disappointed by the Biden Administration’s decision to expand the use of Title 42,” U.S. Sens. “Continuing to use this failed and inhumane Trump-era policy put in place to address a public health crisis will do nothing to restore the rule of law at the border.” “Opening up new limited pathways for a small percentage of people does not obscure the fact that the Biden administration is illegally and immorally gutting access to humanitarian protections for the majority of people who have already fled their country seeking freedom and safety,” said Sunil Varghese, policy director at the International Refugee Assistance Project. On Monday, Texas Republican Rep. Pat Fallon introduced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the Cuban American face of Biden’s immigration policy.
