CAMPI Releases November 2022 Asylum Processing at the U.S.-Mexico Border Report

November 30, 2022

The Central America and Mexico Policy Initiative (CAMPI), led by our CAMPI Director Stephanie Leutert and CAMPI Fellow Caitlyn Yates, have released the quarterly report on Asylum Processing at the U.S.-Mexico Border for November 2022. This November 2022 update includes numbers from both original asylum waitlists and Title 42 exception waitlists. In many cities, Title 42 exception waitlists have replaced the asylum waitlists that were closed or dissolved in March 2020, when Title 42 began. By including these Title 42 exception lists, this report aims to provide a more accurate picture of the number of individuals waiting in Mexican border cities. Title 42 waitlists are similar to the asylum waitlists documented in previous metering updates, as both reflect individuals waiting to claim asylum in the United States. This report’s title change—from “Metering Update” to “Asylum Processing at the U.S.-Mexico Border”—reflects these diversified processes.
