Chaos is expected at the US border with Mexico.
After the special covid rules ended, a large number of migrants have applied to the United States.
Special forces have been sent to the places where there is expected to be the most unrest.
The United States is preparing for a large wave of migrants from South and Central America after its special covid rules ended overnight on Thursday.
The so-called “Title 42 deportations” were introduced by the Trump administration and mean that people could be banned from entering the United States if they passed through another country where an infectious disease is present on the way. The law has also been used by President Joe Biden to ban asylum seekers from seeking asylum.
“Can receive very harsh criticism”
When Title 42 now expires, a large number of migrants are expected to try to enter the country. Chaos is expected to break out at the US border with Mexico and the US has dispatched special forces to try to control the situation.
– Should this crisis situation that already prevails here in El Paso and in other cities along the grass, if it worsens as feared, the Biden administration will receive very harsh criticism for this, says TV4’s foreign reporter Tomas Kvarnkullen.
He also believes that it is something that can play right into the hands of Joe Biden’s political opponents.
– The president has admitted that it will likely be chaotic for a period and it is something that could benefit his political opponents, such as Trump for example, who will likely try to use it in their campaign, says Tomas Kvarnkullen.
