12 May 2023 at 05:40 Chaos awaits at the border with Mexico when pandemic rule ends On the night of Friday, the USA ends its corona-related immigration restrictions. Several thousand migrants have gathered along the border with Mexico in anticipation of the so-called pandemic rule “Title 42” to cease to apply. The rule was created in 2020, when Donald Trump was president. It gave US border guards the authority to deport tens of thousands of migrants at the southern border for infection control reasons, without giving them the opportunity to apply for asylum. 3 million people have been turned away since then. Omission of the rule will give the migrants the right to have their asylum applications processed again. At the same time, those who are refused can be banned from the US for five years. US President Joe Biden warned on Wednesday that the border with Mexico is going to be chaotic for a while. He has ordered 1,500 soldiers out to assist at the border.
