  2. GOP makes gains in immigration debate :

    WASHINGTON — It was a decade ago that Capitol Hill was consumed by an urgency to overhaul the nation’s immigration system, fueled in no small part by Republicans who felt a political imperative to make inroads with minority voters by embracing more generous policies.

  3. Do people watch? Are these discussions valuable? I always wonder. In this instance, three of us discussed #immigration and the end of #Title42: two journalists who report at the border and an immigration attorney.

    Are these shows valuable and how would we know one way or another?

    It also amuses me because in my personal life, I am not someone to whom anyone tends to listen. But I go on TV and pretend I'm someone who has things to say that people want to hear. Ha ha.

  6. The Biden Administration has replaced #Title42, the draconian Trump-era COVID policy, with even tougher requirements for asylum seekers known as “Circumvention of Lawful Pathways."

  7. The arrival of #migrants has tested left-leaning cities around the country in particular. In addition to New York, many of the migrants are ending up in places like Chicago, Denver and Washington, D.C., where leaders have sought to emphasize that they are welcome, while at the same time warning that the large numbers of newcomers are straining services | #migration #Title42 #USA #cities | NYTimes: As Crisis Grows, All of New York’s Migrant Plans Are Met With Outrage nyti.ms/3WjwUh2?smid=nytcore-a

  8. Congress may soon approve new mines on the same land that “El Jefe,” one of the last jaguars in the United States, passes through.

  10. 9 questions about Biden’s border policy, answered.

    Vox reports: "Here’s what the end of Title 42, a controversial Trump-era immigration policy, really means for the border."

  11. I’m hearing from this community that migrants from Central America have long long gotten the message that they’re better off not coming to the US or just going to Mexico instead. And the only one that loses out is the USA. #immigration #Migrants #Title42

  12. The Border Patrol's makeshift migrant processing area a mile from the Lukeville, AZ port of entry and 1/4 mile off the main highway. This is in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, on South Puerto Blanco Drive. This is where asylum seekers are brought after coming through breaches in the border fence.

    These are people seeking asylum, who immediately turn themselves in after crossing the fence. I haven't heard what happens to them after they are taken from here.

    Many of us in the desert aid community are concerned that Biden's new immigration rules will push more people to try to cross the 60 miles of deadly desert between here and Interstate 8.

  13. Cutting a single post is all it takes to breach the border wall. Once cut, it can easily be levered open enough for people to pass through.

    $25 million dollars per mile was spent on this monstrosity, yet it can be defeated in minutes with a cordless angle grinder.

    If you look closely, you'll see the 1/4" thick, 6" x 6" square steel tubes are filled with concrete in which two 1" diameter steel rods are embedded. All of this is simple to cut through.

    My guess is that the words refer to the welder (Tim S.) and the date it was repaired previously. Such repairs can be seen all along the fence. It's probably quicker to cut than repair.

    This is where most of the recent migrants were coming through a few miles west of Lukeville, AZ, brought there by traffickers who charged them large fees. The fence doesn't stop or even slow migration, but it does create a perfect business opportunity for cartels who can control the ability to cross.

  14. A couple groups of migrants walking the border road westward toward Lukeville, AZ, waiting to be picked up by Border Patrol. The road curves around to the left and goes around the hill in front of them, but they'll probably be picked up and taken to a processing area not far away.

    From there, I don't know where they go.

  15. I spent time along the U.S.-Mexico border last week, watching changes as #Title42 ended.

    There is a lot to say about what I observed on Friday and Saturday and I intend to write a short blog post. For now, a few photos.

    For reasons unknown, migrants coming through the border fence (through a single cut bollard a few miles west of the Lukeville crossing) were tearing up or even burning their documents. I found ID cards from India, a half-burned passport from Mauritania, a Mexican travel visa, vaccination cards, a bus ticket from Oaxaca to Tecate, and this fragment of a document of someone from Brazil.

    I don't know why they tear them, but this one in particular caught me attention. I don't know what will happen to Brazilians who entered the country without proper documents. Or Mauritanians or Indians or all the others. But I wish them good luck.

  16. 🧵 2/2
    My #Editorial: The #GOP had been laying in to #JoeBiden with concerns over the #USMexicoBorder. They claimed we would get a tidal wave of #immigrants crossing with the end of #Title42. But instead we have 50% LESS crossings than before! Yet we won't see any #Republicans admit they were wrong and they will continue spreading false narratives, blaming #Biden, and growing racist and xenophobic hate.

    #News: The number of #migrants encountered at the #SouthernBorder fell 50% during the last 3 days compared w/ the days leading up to the end of #Title42. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is crediting the #Biden admn’s policies. Mayorkas has called on #Congress to pass a comprehensive #immigration overhaul. But #Republicans say the border needs to be secured before immigration laws could be changed.

    I posted this morning:

    "The #GOP overplayed their hand by announcing for weeks that the end of #Title42 meant the border would now be *wide open*"… eliminating the "urgency" ("If the border is now open, I can go anytime! No need to go right now.") 😄 #OpenBorder

  19. #UnitedStates Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro #Mayorkas says border crossings dropped by 50% after Covid restrictions were lifted

    Still, the homeland security secretary cautioned it’s "too early" to tell whether the migrant surge has peaked since #Title42 expired.

  20. Republicans declared LONG before the #pandemic ended that "The pandemic is over", yet now they are demanding we keep "#Title42"... a policy of turning migrants away b/c of #Covid. #FoxnewsSunday
