Most Venezuelans crossing the US-Mexico border unlawfully will be sent back to Mexico under a new policy agreement between the Biden administration and the Mexican government announced yesterday (October 12, 2022). The policy also creates a pathway for lawful entry for 24,000 Venezuelans who have a financial sponsor and who have not been deported in the past five years—though this raises questions about how many Venezuelans who are seeking asylum will meet the eligibility criteria.
The announcement seems to be a dressed-up version of "Do not come." I read the DHS statement in the link above, and I'm unclear on whether a person from Venezuela who shows up at, say, the San Ysidro/Tijuana POE on foot will be allowed in or rejected via Title 42. The DHS announcement refers to arriving by air, and seemingly with a lot of proof of sponsorship, adequate financial support, etc. If that's the case, this policy will be reserved for those who have the financial means to get out of Venezuela. I doubt most of those mud-caked families in the Darién Gap in the NYT article you linked to would have the means to follow this policy.
This new policy is a contradiction of the Biden government towards Venezuelans. In March 2021, his government benefits venezuelan with a TPS because recognized the political and economic difficulties of the country, a month ago the extension of the TPS was announced and now, it closes the door to other Venezuelans, who instead of coming by plane, cross the border. This measure is discriminatory towards the nationals of Venezuela, it is an international violation of the Human Right to request asylum
The question is also, why is Biden government not promoting creation of a global system for refugees and asylum seekers? As for example in accordance to "Rational Refugee Reception" ideas
