Thousands of migrants are crossing into the United States this week before a new regulation takes effect that could bar most who cross illegally from seeking asylum.

Others gathered on the Mexico side amid confusion about U.S. policy.

Reuters reports that the U.S. rolled out a regulation on Wednesday that presumes most migrants are ineligible for asylum if they passed through other nations without seeking protection elsewhere first or if they failed to use legal pathways for U.S. entry.

The new rule is a key part of President Joe Biden’s border enforcement plan as COVID-19 restrictions – known as Title 42 – are set to end just before midnight on Thursday.

Under Title 42, which has been in place since March 2020, many border crossers were rapidly expelled to Mexico without a chance to seek asylum, leading to repeat attempts.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the new rule would mean harsher consequences for migrants crossing illegally who, if caught, could be deported and barred from the United States for five years if they do not qualify for asylum.

“We are making it very clear that our border is not open, that crossing irregularly is against the law and that those who are not eligible for relief will be quickly returned,” Mayorkas said at a press conference in Washington.

Migrants have been amassing in Mexico near various parts of the border – many of them unsure about when, or how, to cross.

At a towering wall dividing San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico, hundreds have been jumping across in recent days, waiting to turn themselves in to Border Patrol agents.

Some have camped out for days under Mylar blankets, surviving on granola bars and water, while they wait for processing in a no-man’s land on U.S. soil between a primary wall and secondary wall.

A group of single women and a family with two young children from Colombia said they left home seven days ago, flying to El Salvador and then traveling by bus through Central America and Mexico.

“We heard that Title 42 was going to end and that after that there won’t be an option,” said Diana, 30, who declined to give her last name. She said she heard about the policy change through the news and by word of mouth.

More than 10,000 migrants were caught crossing at the U.S.-Mexico border illegally each day on Monday and Tuesday, said Brandon Judd, president of a union for border patrol agents. The total surpasses a scenario outlined by a top U.S. border official last month for the period after Title 42 ends.
