On May 20, Joe Biden’s plan to roll back Trump’s “Title 42” border policy was halted. The Hill reports:
“A federal judge in Louisiana on Friday temporarily stopped the Biden administration from ending Title 42, the Trump-era border management policy that allowed officials to quickly expel foreign nationals at the border under pandemic conditions.
“The policy was due to end Monday [May 23] as part of the Biden administration’s efforts to restructure border and immigration policy after the Trump administration’s overhaul of the system.
“U.S. District Court [Judge] Robert Summerhays granted a preliminary injunction to a group of GOP state attorneys general challenging the policy change. Summerhays, who was appointed by former President Trump, ruled that the Biden administration cannot roll back the policy while the broader legal challenge plays out in court.
“The injunction is a political victory for the red states that brought suit, but it could also help the Biden administration ease pressure on immigration, as high numbers of crossings are expected to continue throughout the summer.”
If Title 42 were rescinded, as the Biden Regime designs to do, it is estimated that the monthly 200,000+ illegal aliens now pouring virtually unobstructed across the U.S. southern border could balloon to as many as 500,000 per month. This massive increase would completely overwhelm the states’ law enforcement, education, energy sectors, healthcare, and other areas, swamping state agencies.
Consider illegal alien encounters in April. Of 234,088 total encounters, 96,906 were removed under Title 42 and 110,207 were released into the U.S. population.
The CDC wrote the Biden Title 42 cancellation policy and tried to sell it as a health policy change, but this is far more serious than a health issue. It’s about irrefutable harm to the states’ infrastructure.
But the Biden Regime doesn’t care about a secure border – they just want to speed up processing.
