美最严移民限制令到期

Last week, we told you about the looming expiration of Title 42.

上周，我们报道过“第42条令”即将到期。

The policy set by the Trump administration at the start of the COVID pandemic, allowing migrants to be quickly expelled at the U.S. southern border without a chance to ask for asylum.

特朗普政府在新冠疫情开始时制定的该政策，允许迅速驱逐美国南部边境没有机会申请庇护的移民。

The policy expired last Thursday night along with the national coronavirus public health emergency.

上周四，该政策连同全美新冠病毒突发公共卫生紧急情况一起到期。

With this expiration, there were major concerns about a massive surge of migrants at the border.

随着“第42条令”的到期，人们对边境移民的大规模激增产生了重大担忧。

But according to to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the number of migrants at the U.S. southern border is "markedly down over what they were prior to the end of Title 42".

但根据国土安全部部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯的说法，美国南部边境的移民人数“比‘第42条令’结束前预期的人数明显要少”。

Now, even though the number of people coming in maybe lower than what federal officials were bracing for communities at the southern border, well, they're still on high alert.

现在，尽管进入美国边境的人数可能低于联邦官员对南部边境社区的预期，但他们仍处于高度戒备状态。
