Mexico, along with President Joe Biden’s administration and the United Nations, is considering setting up a temporary program to help pre-screen tens of thousands of migrants for US entry eligibility as border crossings increase again.
The program would be focused on about 40,000 migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua and Cuba who are in southern Mexico, according to the nation’s top diplomat.
The plan would only be for migrants from those four countries, whose citizens have specific parole processes for US immigration due to conditions in their home nations, Barcena said Friday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. They have been stuck in Mexico since May, when the US ended Title 42 — a pandemic-era emergency authority that restricted the right to seek asylum.
“We would like very much to have mechanisms that are legal, orderly and safe,” for people seeking to immigrate to the US, Barcena said. “We do have a lot of progress on the regular pathways of migration.” Still, migrant encounters on the US southern border rose again in August to the highest level this year after initially falling in June and July as the Department of Homeland Security launched carrot-and-stick measures to deter unauthorized border crossings and offer legal pathways. For the current fiscal year, the number of encounters is on pace to match or eclipse the record 2.4 million from 2022.
