Opinion | Biden has quietly helmed the most radically anti-asylum policy in more than 70 years. By jherrerx.
have public ally decried Title 42's application, saying it's neither necessary to prevent the spread of COVID nor in the interest of human well-being.
The hypocrisy and discrimination inherent in the order is clear: Right now, any American can cross the border freely. In the last year, I've crossed back and forth from Mexico multiple times. I received no temperature check, no one asked for my vaccination status, and no one asked me if I had COVID-19 symptoms. Americans — including at least one US Senator — are vacationing in Cancun and other resort towns across Mexico, and crossing back over the border freely.
Biden has the power to overturn Title 42 at any moment he chooses. The asylum system, while deeply backlogged and under-resourced, still exists, and the US still has the potential to be a refuge from persecution for countless people. Biden's decision not to undo the order does not come from an ignorance of the good it could do for human well-being; instead, his commitment to Title 42 comes from cynical political calculation.
