Sen. Cruz seeks to maintain Title 42 border expulsions through bill
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz and several other prominent GOP senators introduced legislation Tuesday to codify a Trump-era provision that allows border officials to rapidly expel migrants attempting to cross the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Title 42 has been an integral and extremely successful measure to protect America’s borders and our people during the COVID-19 pandemic," Cruz said. "If the Biden-Harris policy for open borders is intended to reverse the Trump Administration’s success in securing our border, encourage illegal immigration, and create an unprecedented crisis, it’s certainly working." The Biden administration is considering a phase-out of the Trump-era policy, which critics have argued is cruel and inhumane. The White House could end use of Title 42 expulsions by as soon as July 31, Axios reported last month.More Related News
