Title 42 has allowed border officials since March 2020 to quickly return migrants seeking asylum back over the border, on grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Mayor Jorge Maldonado said "there’s no need for people to rush the border," and that the"We can only process so many, Border Patrol and Customs are doing their best job and processing people, but we can only process so many," the mayor said. "If we get flooded, the one thing that the city and the county are going to have problems with is funding to get those people out of here.
As of Thursday morning, the sources said CBP has approximately 28,000 migrants in federal custody. Those numbers present a strain across multiple sectors as capacity across the entire southern border is about 10,000 total. Maldonado said that while Nogales has not seen a massive influx of migrants yet, the number has been increasing.Arizona sheriffs from Maricopa, Pinal and Yavapai counties showed a united front during May 10 press conference just a day before Title 42 is about to expire, likely sending thousands of migrants into cities across the state.
He said his main concern was the possibility of the city’s regular flow of business with Mexico getting disrupted. "We cater and depend on Mexico for our business," the mayor said. "We have at least 60-80,000 people that cross the border on a daily basis, either walking or in vehicles, because we have a heavy produce industry that at least 16 to 1800 trucks cross every day."
