What is Title 8?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : This measure covers a broad range of immigration law, including on asylum, refugees and visas.
54% : But the policy also allows more people to request asylum, and the longer administrative process could lead to crowding at holding facilities at times when there are large numbers of arrivals.
46% : Raul L. Ortiz, the chief of the Border Patrol, said that, on Tuesday, less than 20 percent of the migrants it handled were processed under Title 42.
42% : The Biden administration has taken steps to speed up the processing, and has warned migrants not to come to the border to try to apply for asylum; instead, it has provided other avenues to seek application appointments from afar, including through a government app.
42% : The administration has also begun putting in place new rules to make asylum more difficult to obtain.
