DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is warning that the results of his plan to deal with the surge of migrants coming with the end of Title 42 will not be seen immediately.
"Our plan will deliver results, but it will take time for those results to be fully realized. And it is essential that we all take this into account," he said.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas speaks at a news conference on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, ahead of the lifting of Title 42. The administration has made a number of moves to sharpen up border enforcement ahead of the order’s end. The highlight is athat would make migrants ineligible for asylum if they have entered illegally and failed to claim asylum in a third country through which they have passed.
The administration has also promised that penalties for illegal entry will be tougher when the public health order ends. That will include the increased use of expedited removal -- which carries a five-year re-entry ban and possible criminal prosecution. It has also sent personnel, including troops, to the border.
