People smuggling networks are profiting from migrants crossing the border, leading to concerns about potential chaos and a crackdown by U.S. officials once Title 42 expires. Former Chief Border Patrol Agent, Chris Clem, believes that instead of a massive influx of immigrants, cartels will carefully control the numbers to ensure a steady flow of profits in the coming weeks. Title 42, which aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through migrants, is set to expire soon, and reports of increased border crossings have already emerged in Yuma, Arizona, where Clem retired. Clem explains that the orchestrators of this operation want to avoid chaos and disruption, as it would prompt a swift response from the administration, potentially leading to a halt in operations. Closing the border to address the chaos would ultimately harm their business. To maintain orderliness, some individuals, like Alexander, have taken on the role of gatekeepers, allowing only those whose names are on their list to cross through the razor wire. Clem compares this approach to the American mafia, where maintaining control and discretion is vital for business. While Clem’s former sector is a known hotspot for illegal crossings, the number of pickups is expected to rise significantly, with the anticipation of thousands of migrants waiting in Mexico to make their move once Title 42 is lifted. The end of Title 42 means detainees will now be processed by border authorities, and some will be released into the U.S. with a scheduled court date for their asylum claims. Although there have been false alarms and conflicting rulings regarding the continuation of Title 42, Clem believes that the Border Patrol and federal agencies have extensively prepared for its eventual end. He commends the agencies’ coordination and the dedication of the men and women on the ground who will be handling the situation. Despite the expected challenges, Clem has confidence that they will effectively manage the situation.
