The current surge is largely a reaction to the looming end of Title 42, a policy enacted during the Covid pandemic that enables the authorities to quickly expel many migrants who enter the country without permission, rather than letting them stay while courts consider their cases. [Title 42 expires on Thursday](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8xMi8wMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9pbW1pZ3JhdGlvbi1wdWJsaWMtaGVhbHRoLXJ1bGUtbWV4aWNvLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDUwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MjAyOCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzgwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkUcTSWGRZk_InUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), as part of the end of the official Covid health emergency. In recent weeks, word has spread in Latin America that entering the U.S. is about to become easier. Smugglers have told potential migrants that the coming period will be a good time to attempt a border crossing, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico [said last week](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP4QEAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndzai5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZXMvYmlkZW4tdG8tZGVwbG95LWFjdGl2ZS1kdXR5LXRyb29wcy10by1zb3V0aGVybi1ib3JkZXItZm9yLWVuZC1vZi10aXRsZS00Mi1lZGQ3ODU3Nz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNTA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTkyMDI4Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzIzODAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmRRxNJYZFmT8idSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). U.S. officials believe that the number of illegal crossings per day, which has recently hovered around 7,500, could soon rise above 12,000, according to my colleague Eileen Sullivan. “It’s a real crisis,” Father Rafael Garcia of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown El Paso [told The Times](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TYaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNS8wNy91cy90aXRsZS00Mi1ib3JkZXItbWlncmFudHMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNTA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTkyMDI4Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzIzODAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmRRxNJYZFmT8idSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). Push and pull When Democrats and progressive activists talk about undocumented immigration, they tend to emphasize forces in other countries — like wars and political oppression — that are beyond the control of the U.S. government. And these outside issues do influence migration flows. [The collapse of Venezuela’s economy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8yMS93b3JsZC9hbWVyaWNhcy92ZW5lenVlbGEtZWNvbm9teS13ZWFsdGgtZ2FwLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDUwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MjAyOCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzgwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkUcTSWGRZk_InUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) is a recent example. Experts refer to such forces as “push factors,” because they push people out of their home countries. But “pull factors” in the U.S. matter as well. The strength of the economy is one. The stringency of border security is another. When the U.S. makes it difficult for people to enter the country illegally, fewer people make the journey north to try. When the U.S. sends signals that people will be able to cross the border even without permission, and potentially remain here for years, more people attempt to do so. The pattern is clear. Donald Trump was the most anti-immigration president in decades, promising to build a border wall and demeaning immigrants [with racist language](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAxOC8wMS8xNS9vcGluaW9uL2xlb25oYXJkdC10cnVtcC1yYWNpc3QuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwNTA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTkyMDI4Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzIzODAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmRRxNJYZFmT8idSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).

Biden’s pivot Like so many other political subjects today, immigration has become highly polarized. As a result, the issue’s complexities and trade-offs sometimes gets obscured. Many Republicans denigrate immigrants. In truth, as research by the economists Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan [has documented](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMi8wNy8xMS9vcGluaW9uL2ltbWlncmFudHMtc3VjY2Vzcy1hbWVyaWNhLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDUwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MjAyOCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzgwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkUcTSWGRZk_InUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), immigrant families have continued to thrive in recent decades. The children and grandchildren of immigrants have ascended the economic ladder at rates strikingly similar to those of the 1800s and early 1900s. Democrats have not engaged in anything as hateful as the white nationalist conspiracy theories [that are common on Fox News](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNC8zMC91cy90dWNrZXItY2FybHNvbi1nb3AtcmVwdWJsaWNhbi1wYXJ0eS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzA1MDgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTIwMjgmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzMjM4MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZFHE0lhkWZPyJ1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). But Democrats have sometimes brushed aside the hard questions of immigration policy. A relatively lax approach to border security does have downsides. Early in Biden’s presidency, thousands of people in Latin America left their homes and headed north, often taking enormous risks. Some made it to the U.S. and have given themselves a chance at a better future. Others have languished in crowded and dangerous conditions in northern Mexico — a sign that a porous border creates its own humanitarian problems. The migration surge of the past few years has also caused problems in the U.S. Social services and shelters in Texas and Arizona cities have been overwhelmed, mayors say. Even some cities far from the border, like Chicago and New York, have struggled to handle the influx. “The president and the White House have failed New York City on this issue,” Mayor Eric Adams of New York, a Democrat, [said last month](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TaaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8xOS9ueXJlZ2lvbi9hZGFtcy1iaWRlbi1taWdyYW50cy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzA1MDgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTIwMjgmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzMjM4MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZFHE0lhkWZPyJ1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). “Why are you doing this to New York?” In response, the Biden administration has changed its approach. In early January, Biden announced [a tougher policy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8wNS91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9iaWRlbi1ib3JkZXItY3Jvc3NpbmdzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDUwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MjAyOCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzgwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkUcTSWGRZk_InUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) meant to keep out migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua who did not have a good claim of political oppression. The policy also provided new opportunities to come to the U.S. legally. Immigration advocates and some Democrats criticized the plan as cruel, saying it would deny asylum to deserving refugees. Yet experts say it’s clear that many migrants from these countries are not political refugees. They want to come to the U.S. because it offers better job opportunities. For the migrants themselves, that calculation is understandable. But no wealthy country permits unrestricted immigration. If the U.S. allowed mass immigration for economic reasons, millions more people would likely try to enter the country. Biden’s crackdown has started to have its intended effect. The number of illegal crossings fell sharply in recent months (which you can see in the last few bars of the chart above). Now, though, the end of Title 42 has created a challenge. “A lot of people will see this as their chance,” Gelatt said, “or smugglers will use this to lead people across the border.” To reduce the surge, Biden [has dispatched](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmO1fEP0TcaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNS8wMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9iaWRlbi10cm9vcHMtYm9yZGVyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDUwOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MjAyOCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyMzgwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkUcTSWGRZk_InUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) 1,500 troops to the border. The troops are there to manage the chaos — and to send a message: The U.S. does not have an open border, and most people who try to enter the country illegally will not succeed. Will it work?
