The graph represents legal entries. not turn-arounds or expulsions, and until May 2023 would represent the legal entries under Title 42
The majority of the unaccompanied children were not considered legal entries, and would not be included in the graph.
It appears there were a lot of legal entries that you have said Title 42 prevented.
Fuck you. I clarified several several times there were exceptions.
I think you are mistaken about the meaning of legal entities in this context.
"Legal Entities" in the Context of Entry:
It is important to note that "legal entity" usually refers to a business or organization. In the context of Title 42, the entities permitted to cross the border for essential travel (e.g., trade, work, tourism) generally continued to function, as the policy was focused specifically on migrants and asylum seekers at the border.
who were the legal entities that entered during title 42?
Under the Title 42 policy (March 2020 – May 2023), the U.S. government primarily expelled migrants rather than allowing them to enter. However, specific groups and individuals were permitted to enter or were exempted from the quick-expulsion policy, including:
*Unaccompanied Minors: Following a November 2020 court ruling and subsequent CDC orders in February 2021, unaccompanied children were exempted from Title 42 and allowed into the U.S. to undergo standard immigration processing.
*Vulnerable Families: While many families were expelled, some were exempted on a case-by-case basis due to humanitarian concerns or because Mexico could not accept them, particularly as policies shifted later in the pandemic.
Specific Nationalities (Post-2022): In late 2022, the Biden administration introduced parole programs for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans who applied online, had a sponsor, and arrived by air.
*Ukrainian Nationals: In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration created an expedited program for Ukrainians, allowing many to enter through humanitarian parole and exemptions from Title 42.
*Those with Humanitarian Exceptions: Some individuals, including specific asylum seekers with urgent protection needs, were granted exceptions to the policy by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at ports of entry.
