As the administration prepares to end Title 42, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/over-dem-objections-biden-admin-on-track-to-end-pandemic-policy-that-allows-swift-deportation-of-migrants\/\" title=\"Over Dem Objections, Biden Admin on Track To End Pandemic Policy That Allows Swift Deportation of Migrants\">pandemic-era policy<\/a> that allows agents to turn migrants away at the border, Mayorkas is moving to enact new policies that would expand the number of migrants allowed into the United States.<\/p>\n<h3>New Policies to Expand the Number of Migrants Allowed into the United States<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Increasing the number of available applications for entry into the country through the CBP One App<\/li>\n<li>Allowing family members from four Central and South American countries to reunite with migrants in the United States<\/li>\n<li>Doubling the number of refugees allowed into the country from the Western Hemisphere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mayorkas&#8217;s defense of the border&#8217;s security under his tenure comes as Democrats have described the situation as a crisis. The Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas, on Monday ordered a state of emergency to prepare for a potential surge of migrants when Title 42 expires on May 11.<\/p>\n<h3>Border Agents Encounter Migrants Deemed Security Threats<\/h3>\n<p>Despite Mayorkas&#8217;s claims that the border is secure, border agents have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-dhs-secretary-mayorkas-gives-bizarre-definition-of-a-secure-border\/\" title=\"WATCH: DHS Secretary Mayorkas Gives Bizarre Definition of a \u2018Secure Border'\">frequently encountered migrants deemed security threats illegally crossing<\/a> the border.
