The Biden Administration announced it will open up migrant processing centers in Colombia and Guatemala to allow migrants into the US without having them rush the Southern border. Fears are mounting in the Biden Administration that the minute the Title 42 restrictions are lifted, they’ll be a surge at the border. The processing centers will not be run by the US government but by NGOs whose job is to bring over 125,000 refugees to the US annually. This is a way for Biden to flood the US with migrants and asylum seekers, many of whom are fraudulently applying, without having the bad optics of migrants on the border. (The Washington Post)

Title 42 is expected to end on May 11th, and the White House believes a massive wave of migrants from around the globe will end up on the US southern border. In another effort to deter migrants from coming to the southern border, which would be bad optics for Biden during an election year, the White House is preparing to unveil new enforcement measures related to immigration. For migrants who still attempt to cross into the U.S. illegally, the administration is completing rules that would find them ineligible for asylum if they didn’t ask for humanitarian protection in another country first. Quick determinations of asylum ineligibility would make migrants immediately subject to deportation to their home countries while they are still in government custody, and formal deportation, unlike a Title 42 expulsion, carries even harsher penalties for migrants who try to enter the U.S. again.

US immigration courts have become so backlogged with cases that new asylum seekers who cross the border from Mexico must wait a decade to get a court date to see if they qualify. (The Associated Press)

The Biden administration said it has found evidence that several dozen small technology companies have conspired to cheat the H1-b lottery system by having the same applicants apply multiple times through different companies. (The Wall Street Journal)

Florida finally joined the rest of the South and passed mandatory E-Verify for all employers in the state with 25 employees or more. They’re now required to ensure all employees are legally allowed to work in the US. Suppose the Department of Economic Opportunity determines that an employer did not adhere to E-Verify requirements. In that case, the company may be subject to a penalty of $1,000 per day until the matter is rectified. (The Capitalist)
