Title 42 issues show ‘lack of political will’ for Biden administration on border: Chaffetz

Former Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz discussed issues surrounding the Title 42 U.S. border order on “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy.”

"It has been a lack of political will. The laws are in the books to actually build the border wall to secure the border, to have an entry/exit program and to deny people to just simply walk across the border. It has been a lack of political will," Chaffetz said. "And the Biden-Harris administration in addition to the Obama Administration have done everything they can to not only encourage people but essentially invite people to come here, knowing that if they do get caught, they’re going to be released into the homeland by the tens of thousands."

He added, "And with the expiration of Title 42, even though a judge put that order in place, I think there are still tens or hundreds of thousands of people that will be pouring across at the rate of 18,000 people a day, the estimates say in addition to millions that have already flown across the borders."
