Migrants approach the U.S. border wall from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on Dec. 21, 2022, on the other side of the border from El Paso, Texas. They join other migrants who've gathered along the Mexican side of Americas' southern border to wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether and when to lift pandemic-era restrictions that have prevented many from seeking asylum.

Tom Hall

NPR's Franco Ordonez, refugee services activist Krish Vignarajah and Baltimore County's new immigrant outreach coordinator Giuliana Valencia-Banks share their insights on America's intractable immigration crisis.

In this Thursday, June 10, 2021, file photo, a pair of migrant families from Brazil pass through a gap in the border wall to reach the United States after crossing from Mexico to Yuma, Ariz., to seek asylum. Civil rights and refugee relief groups have been urging President Biden to lift a pandemic-related ban on families seeking asylum in the United States. Thousands of migrants have been stuck in Mexico because of Title 42, named for a 1944 public health law. The Biden administration has continued the policy first imposed by President Trump that denies many families and nearly all single adults an opportunity to seek asylum on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19.
