Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.
More than 200,000 people a month are arriving at the border, which means more than two million a year. Many friends and family members have someone who is possibly going to arrive at the border and want to know what might happen if they turn themselves in.
The truth is that the frontier today, with President Joe Biden's administrationIt's Russian roulette, because anything can happen. If you have a friend or family member who is thinking of arriving at the border and turning themselves in or trying to cross, let us know so we can be in communication.
There are different things that can happen. Supposedly, based on the numbers that are being released by the Border PatrolHalf of the people are turned back and the other half come in. That means that more than 100,000 people a month are being let in. The detail is who they let in and who they return, because to return them there are several strategies they are using.
MPP (Stay in Mexico Program): They are doing it against the will of the Biden administration, because they didn't want to send people back to Mexico who applied for a visa. asylum at the borderbut the Federal Court is forcing them. They have already reactivated the program.
Title 42: President Biden's administration is defending Title 42.
This is controversial because it is one of the strategies used by the Trump administration to return thousands and thousands of people under the excuse of the Coronavirus. Now the current administration continues to use Title 42 to return people back to Mexico who are trying to cross the border. They are defending Title 42 in the Federal Courts.
As we can see, you don't know, there is no guarantee that they will let you in if you turn yourself in to Immigration at the border.
Increase in arrests: If we're talking about detainees, we're talking about there were 21 thousand people when President Trump ended his administration. They ended up with 15 thousand people detained, which means that under Biden there has been an increase of almost 50%.
Electronic monitoring program: Another group of people are the 157,000 that Immigration is electronically monitoring. Many of them are in electronic shackles.
Many things can happen at the border, there are no guarantees. The important thing is that they have a good legal representation to be able to defend yourself. The worst thing that can happen is not that they send you back, but that they end up arresting you and that you spend months in detention.
