Title 42 was doing the job that neither Congress nor this administration wants to do.
Friend,
Yesterday, the Biden administration announced it’s lifting Title 42, a pandemic-related public health order that restricted illegal immigration for the past two years. This is a recipe for disaster as officials expect an overwhelming flood of migrants within weeks after Biden lifts the COVID-deportation measure.
Just in the past month alone, illegal-immigrant apprehensions along the southwestern border skyrocketed to nearly 165,000, a 6.6% increase over January — and a 350% increase over February 2020.
Authorities are bracing for a colossal crush of up to 170,000 people when Title 42 is lifted. President Donald Trump instituted Title 42 at the pandemic’s start, and it’s been upheld in court under Biden.
Title 42 was doing the job that neither Congress nor this administration wants to do: protecting our border and preventing illegal immigration.
Making matters worse, Biden just signed into law a $1.5 trillion spending blowout that boosts domestic spending by $46 billion, a nearly 7% hike that includes more than $20 billion in Green New Deal gimmicks. But it also cuts U.S. Customs and Border Protection funding by $428 million from fiscal year 2021. (Factor in inflation, and the cuts are even deeper.)
