Thousands of migrants in Mexico are faced with a difficult choice: risk an even more uncertain future by staying behind or chance the possibly hazardous voyage to America. Following the Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday, which maintained Trump administration policy under Title 42, which allows for the rapid deportation of illegal immigrants on the basis of public health, many are now obliged to carefully weigh their alternatives before trying to cross the border.
For migrants waiting at America’s borders, the Supreme Court’s decision to maintain Title 42 in force indefinitely has offered a difficult choice: take a chance and run the danger of being deported, or remain there and hope the policy changes? Republican states’ opposition to a previous federal judge’s ruling might have significant repercussions for people seeking asylum.

“We can’t go back,” Haitian immigrant Roodline Pierre told The New York Times that she was waiting for Title 42 to terminate in Reynosa, Mexico. “We left everything behind to be here.”
“These are no conditions for children,” According to Pierre, who was on the road with his wife and 14-month-old daughter. “No person should live like this. We want a better life, and now we are stuck here for much longer.”
Migrants trying to cross the border face a formidable obstacle: local shelters are full, leaving them with no choice but to sleep outside in the bitter cold. The New York Times has detailed the truth of their predicament, which is that there doesn’t appear to be somewhere for these people to turn.
“There is no room for any more people in there,” According to the NYT, 26-year-old Daisy Rezino, a migrant from Guatemala traveling with her two young kids, made the statement. “We are going to have to sleep out here.”
“We went through a lot to get here,” Rezino said. “I don’t understand why they treat us like this. If they only saw the way we have to sleep here, no food to eat and no roof over our heads.”
Honduran migrants Mario Vazquez and Jose Lopez received heartbreaking news after a trip filled with hope and sacrifice: Title 42 had ruined their ambitions to join with relatives in the US. After hearing this painful choice, the two men stood silently for a while. They had both sacrificed all of their prized possessions for what was now an impossibly unreachable ambition.
“I wanted to cross to the United States,” According to the NYT, Vazquez expressed his desire to work and be reunited with his family in the U.S. “But we will cross when God allows us to cross. It is all up to Him.”
El Paso, a border city, is now seeing an inflow of migrants attempting to enter America. About 20,000 migrants, according to Mayor Oscar Leeser, are stranded on the Mexican side and attempting to cross international seas in search of refuge.
“I want to do things legally; they owe us the right to at least ask for asylum,” Venezuelan immigrant Carlos Mojollon has proclaimed his will to remain in the United States despite the difficulties posed by the Title 42 regulations imposed by our government. His readiness is a powerful indicator of his resilience and spirit of strength.
Luz Moztardo and her family were determined to enter the US on Tuesday after learning of a probable change in immigration rules. The 25-year-old Venezuelan immigrant was on her way to New York City to visit friends with her husband and two children. Early next morning, they checked out of their hotel in Juarez, eager and prepared for their excursion.
