Tillis, eyeing immigration deal, warns Border Patrol will 'lose control of the border' if Title 42 ends

Sen. Thom Tillis is warning of chaos at the southern border if the Title 42 public health order is allowed to expire, as he promotes a potential immigration deal.

Tillis gave a grim warning as he highlighted efforts being made in the chamber to come to a bipartisan solution -- and accused the administration of not having a solution for the crisis. The administration has said it has a plan in place, but lawmakers have dismissed it as insufficient.

"What the administration is going to have to accept is we're going to fix the problem that they created," he said. "In the last year of the Trump administration. We had about a half million illegal crossings. That is manageable for Border Patrol. Now we have over 2 million. And if Title 42 goes away, that could be 3 million or more."
