An estimated 13,000 illegal aliens are expected to cross America\\u2019s southern border every day beginning Thursday. That\\u2019s more than double the daily average in March. 

This expected spike in the number of migrants crossing the border illegally is the direct result of the end of Title 42, a public health measure set in place under the Trump administration during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Title 42 has allowed Border Patrol to quickly expel some illegal aliens from the country. Without the measure, Border Patrol has little power under the policies of the Biden administration to turn illegal aliens away. 

With illegal alien encounters expected to rise with the end of Title 42, the Biden administration has announced a new asylum rule effective once Title 42 expires.   

The new rule requires illegal aliens to first seek asylum in another country they travel through and be denied before they seek asylum in the U.S.  

\\u201cIf individuals do not access their lawful pathways, the pathways that we have made available to them, they will face a rebuttable presumption, but a presumption of ineligibility,\\u201d DHS Secretary

Alejandro Mayorkas said of the new rule during a press conference Wednesday.  

Mayorkas\\u2019 reference to \\u201clawful pathways\\u201d includes use of the CBP One mobile app, which allows illegal aliens to schedule an appointment at a port of entry to seek asylum.  

But Biden\\u2019s new rule is already drawing criticism.  

\\u201cThe asylum rule simply directs everyone towards using the made-up, illegal mass parole programs that the Biden Administration erroneously labels \'lawful pathways\' by using the CBP One mobile app to get a parole appointment at an interior airport,\\u201d Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow in The Heritage Foundation\\u2019s Border Security and Immigration Center, told The Daily Signal. (The

Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Daily Signal.)  

\\u201cIn the long run,\\u201d Hankinson continued, \\u201cthis won\\u2019t discourage anyone. Those who can use the parole app process will, those who can\\u2019t will just come anyway and cross illegally. The best we can hope for is that the new asylum rule reduces flows about as much as Title 42 did, and things remain status quo \\u2013 a poorly managed disaster.\\u201d  

Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to explain what the end of Title 42 means for the security of

America\\u2019s border, and why Biden\\u2019s new asylum rule won\\u2019t solve the current crisis.
