Mexico City.- The United States has expelled two million 700,000 migrants to Mexico since 2020, using Title 42, which prohibits a veto on patients who may become infected, the Interior Department reported.
The measure was ordered by former President Donald Trump under the guise of the Covid-19 pandemic, and while the removal was Joe Biden’s campaign promise, it remains in effect and his feeble attempts to reverse it have not worked.
The United States has restricted the right to asylum with this measure, denounced the immigration policy and the Secretariat’s registration and identity department, according to a study on international mobility and migration, which clarifies that 60.3 percent of returnees were mandatorily Mexican.
It also denounces that although Title 42 is presented as a health measure and not immigration, it is noted that since the introduction of this policy, the percentages registered between the different nationalities show a deliberate selectivity.
The Mexican study, analyzing the scale of returns and their impact, warns that this discriminatory measure has made it impossible for applicants to seek asylum in the United States and put thousands of migrants at greater risk.
The data provided by the study show that of those deported to Mexico, 1,381,000 are Mexican, ie 60.3 percent of the total, while 34.3 of the remainder are from northern Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua). . 3.5 from South America and 1.7 from the Caribbean. (pl)
