Title 42, a Trump-era rule that has been the only thing stemming the tide of illegal immigrants on America’s southern border is set to expire in hours, and even Joe Biden, who sued to end Title 42 early, has had to admit that the border will be chaos afterward. Joseph Mackinnon reports in The Blaze:
President Joe Biden admitted Tuesday that the southern border will be “chaotic for a while,” starting when Title 42 expires on May 11.
Over 5 million illegal aliens have stolen across the border in the years Biden has been in office. Various American communities along the border are presently in crisis. Illegal immigration is already costing taxpayers $151 billion per year. Thousands of criminal noncitizens are committing grievous crimes in the homeland every year. It is, therefore, unclear by what measure the president qualifies chaos.
Biden suggested that his administration, which has incentivized illegal immigration, is presently working to make the break with Title 42 orderly, “but it remains to be seen,” reported the Associated Press.
The president’s suggestion this week that chaos is imminent conflicts with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ claim last week that the Biden administration has “been preparing for quite some time and we are ready.”
Title 42, first implemented under Republican then-President Donald Trump in March 2020, has been used to great effect in recent years, ejecting roughly 2.8 million illegal immigrants to date.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that the Biden administration has a “robust process to deal with what is going to occur after Title 42 lifts,” but shifted blame for the border crisis to the Republican-held Congress, claiming lawmakers “refuses to do their job as it relates to the border.”
The White House announced Monday that President Biden would veto the latest effort by Republicans in Congress to bolster American sovereignty and address the border crisis, reported Fox News Digital.
“While we welcome Congress’ engagement on meaningful steps to address immigration and the challenges at the border, this bill would make things worse, not better,” said the White House. “Because this bill does very little to actually increase border security while doing a great deal to trample on the Nation’s core values and international obligations, it should be rejected.”
The bill in question, sponsored by Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) and Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), would prompt the resumption of border wall construction, add more Border Patrol agents, end catch-and-release policies, and better enable federal agencies to manage illegal immigration at the southern border.
Rather than pursuing this and other meaningful options, Biden has dispatched 1,500 active-duty troops to the border — troops who are prohibited from curbing the influx of migrants.
