According to CBS News, the Biden administration has told Congress it would support a Title 42-like policy for the border to get the GOP to agree with more aid for Ukraine.
More proof the Biden administration cares more about others than the American people.
I guess the administration also doesn’t care about the border. Otherwise, it wouldn’t attach a stipulation to an agreement:
For weeks, a small group of senators have been attempting to reach an immigration enforcement deal. Republicans have conditioned any further assistance to Ukraine to policy changes designed to reduce the unprecedented levels of illegal crossings along the southern border. Last week, the president himself said he would be willing to make “significant compromises on the border” to win support for his funding bill.In recent days, Mr. Biden’s administration has intensified its engagement with lawmakers. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas started engaging with negotiators in the Senate this week, two people with knowledge of his engagement told CBS News. The secretary was seen arriving on Capitol Hill on Tuesday afternoon as lawmakers continued talks aimed at reaching a deal before Congress adjourns for the holidays.
The Biden administration wants a $100 billion aid package to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. The agreement would include “money to bolster border enforcement and hire additional immigration officials.”
Can you imagine what the left is going to say when they realize Biden wants a policy similar to Trump’s Title 42?
Title 42 allowed the government to “expel those entering the country unlawfully” during the COVID pandemic.
Biden’s policy would not have a public health justification (emphasis mine):
The administration would also back a nationwide expansion of a process known as expedited removal that allows immigration officials to deport migrants without court hearings if they don’t ask for asylum or if they fail their initial asylum interviews. The program is currently limited to the border region.Moreover, the White House would be willing to mandate the detention of certain migrants who are allowed into the country pending the adjudication of their claims. It’s unclear how this provision would work since the U.S. government has never had the detention space to detain all migrants who cross into the country illegally.Administration officials and some Senate Democrats have also previously indicated a willingness to raise the initial screening standard for so-called credible fear interviews that migrants have to pass to avoid being deported under expedited removal.
I emphasized the asylum portion because recent videos taken at the border show migrants want work, not asylum.
