CDC to Lift Order Restricting Immigration

“The Biden administration is expected to lift a pandemic-related public health order this week that has restricted immigration for the past two years, a change that could more than double what is already a historic number of migrants surging into the United States from Mexico,” the New York Times reports.

“The change is to take effect in late May and should restore the right of migrants to request asylum once they are in the United States, just as they did before the pandemic.”

“Even with the rule in place, the administration has struggled to manage a record spike in illegal migration along the border with Mexico, which Republicans have cast as out of control since President Biden took office.”
