☆ With new China travel restriction in place, Asian Americans urge nuanced caution

Following the Biden administration’s implementation of a new Covid-19-related travel requirement for passengers flying in from China, Asian American advocates and experts are urging caution and nuance amid years of heightened anti-Asian violence. Several Asian American organizations and leaders have expressed concern over the requirement of a pre-departure negative Covid test from those flying in from the country. “What I would ask everyone to do is, again, be careful not to conflate the virus with an ethnicity or a group of people,” said John C. Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC. But some groups like Stop AAPI Hate, a nonprofit that tracks incidents of hate and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, strongly opposed the policy. The group pointed to previous travel restrictions under the Trump administration in January 2020 that coincided with a rise in hate incidents against the racial group.
☆ Supreme Court Leaves Pandemic Border Controls in Place

A surge of migrants reached the southern U.S. border in recent days, including at El Paso, Texas, ahead of the expected end of a policy intended to reduce border crossings. WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court left pandemic-era border controls in place Tuesday while it considers whether nearly two dozen Republican-led states can intervene in a lawsuit over the so-called Title 42 regulations’ legality. By a 5-4 vote, the court court acted in the wake of a temporary stay that Chief Justice John Roberts imposed on Dec. 19, two days before the policy was set to end. Border officials had already started observing an increase in border crossings in the days ahead of the policy’s expected end on Dec. 21, with at least 10,000 additional migrants waiting in Mexican border cities with the expectation that the measure would soon be lifted.
☆ What Is Title 42? What to Know as Pandemic-Era Border Policy Ends
  + stars: | 2022-12-19 | by ( Michelle Hackman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Migrants expelled from the U.S. under Title 42 headed toward Mexico at the Paso del Norte International Bridge in early April. The Biden administration will end its use of Title 42, the pandemic-era border policy allowing migrants to be quickly expelled at the southern border, after a federal judge in Washington ruled the policy illegal in November. The policy’s expiration will once more allow migrants seeking asylum to ask for protection without the threat of being immediately sent back to Mexico. That change, back to immigration laws that were in place for decades before the pandemic, will nevertheless have a profound impact on the government’s efforts to manage illegal migration at the border and will force President Biden to consider a range of alternative policies that could act as potential new deterrents.
☆ What Title 42 is and how it connects to El Paso migrants

The judge’s order ending Title 42 isn’t scheduled to go into effect until December 21. Is there a connection between Title 42 and what’s been happening in El Paso? At this point there isn’t any known connection between the rise in crossings and the looming end of Title 42. Jose Luis Gonzalez/Reuters“We’re talking about Title 42 being lifted and what that would do here in the community. “Title 42 was never about public health, and this ruling finally ends the charade of using Title 42 to bar desperate asylum seekers from even getting a hearing,” he said in a statement.
☆ Health insurance open enrollment: How to spot misleading marketing for insurance
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Bram Sable-Smith | Kaiser Health News | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +9 min
Health care sharing ministries are an alternative to health insurance in which members agree to share medical expenses. Nationwide, lawmakers and regulators are taking notice of how health care plans are sold. Rising health care prices can drive up the cost of regulated health plans, such as those that are compliant with the Affordable Care Act. For now, he suggests working with health care navigators, who help consumers enroll in plans through the official health insurance marketplace, healthcare.gov. She is on the market for health insurance again and plans to choose a company she’s heard of before.
☆ China's Xi defends zero-Covid policy and warns Taiwan at opening of Communist Party Congress
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for accelerating the building of a world-class military as he kicked off a Communist Party Congress by touting the country's “zero-Covid” strategy and reiterating policy priorities. Xi described the five years since the last party congress as “extremely uncommon and abnormal”, during a speech that lasted less than two hours — far shorter than his nearly three-and-a-half-hour address at the 2017 congress. Chinese President Xi Jinping, bottom, centre, is applauded by senior members of the government and delegates after his speech on Sunday. The son of a Communist Party revolutionary, Xi has reinvigorated a party that had grown deeply corrupt and increasingly irrelevant, expanding its presence across all aspects of China, with Xi officially its “core”. The day after the congress ends on Saturday, Xi is expected to introduce his new Politburo Standing Committee, a seven-person leadership team.
