Title 42 immigration policy expires, ending pandemic-era restrictions at border

On Thursday, May 11th, at 11.59 p.m. Eastern Time, the Title 42 public health order will terminate. At that point, we will once again process people at our southern border using our immigration enforcement authorities under Title 8 of the United States Code. Our overall approach is to build lawful pathways for people to come to the United States and to impose tougher consequences on those who choose not to use those pathways. The United States Code is a lawful, lawful, and lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful, lawful.

Our President has led the largest expansion of lawful pathways ever. At the same time, we are clear-eyed about the challenges we are likely to face in the days and weeks ahead which have the potential to be very difficult. Let me be clear. The lifting of the Title 42 public health order does not mean our border is open. In fact, it is the contrary. Our use of our immigration enforcement authorities under Title 8 of the United States Code means tougher consequences for people who cross the border illegally. Unlike under Title 42, an individual who is removed under Title 8 is subject to at least a five-year bar on re-entry into the United States and can face criminal prosecution if they attempt to cross again.
