After more than three years, Title 42, the pandemic-era policy that severely limited immigration to the U.S., almost halting the processing of asylum applications, has ended. With concerns of an unprecedented influx of migrants along the southern U.S. border, security officials braced themselves for a wave of up to 150,000 migrants hoping to cross over, but saw similar patterns as the previous days. However, the start of a new era of immigration may still take months to come into clearer focus. For migrants along the Juarez-El Paso border, there was an understanding that Title 42 had lifted, but confusion still remained about what that would mean for the future. Despite the end of Title 42, it is essential to recognize the issue of immigration is not just about the admission of people in desperate humanitarian need, but subject to partisan polarization, making it the fulcrum of polarization across America according to March polling from Ipsos. The next chapter for U.S. immigration politics starts now, and the question remains, will both parties and immigrant rights activists come together to establish a consensus around newcomers' positive place in America?
