- Title
The US–Mexico border and the fatigue of being 'the spectacle'.
- Abstract
It granted US immigration authorities the power to deny admission to people applying for asylum at US-Mexico border ports of entry, and to immediately return those found trying to enter the country irregularly on the grounds that their arrival could facilitate the spread of COVID-19 (US CDC, 2021). When I first began writing this commentary, the US-Mexico border was about to explode - or so the White House said. The US-Mexico border and the fatigue of being "the spectacle" Title 42 - a piece of public health legislation dating back to the 1940s - was reintroduced by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC) in 2020 as part of then president Trump's measures to control irregular migration (Gramlich, 2022).
