On Tuesday, the Biden administration informed the Supreme Court that it would end Trump’s Title 42 policy. This policy allows border agents to expel illegal immigrants at the border. The country is facing a growing problem with illegal immigration.

U.S. U.S. reported.

The Trump administration created the policy in March 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19 across the nation’s border, allowing border officials to immediately expel thousands of illegal immigrants. However, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that this policy was implemented in March 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19 across the nation’s border.https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/12/27/statement-by-white-house-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-on-supreme-court-title-42-order/”>announced the White House’s intention to end the Trump policy as it faced legal challenges in the courts.

“Title 42 is a public health measure, not an immigration enforcement measure, and it should not be extended indefinitely,” Jean-Pierre said.

Republicans criticize the White House’s action as thousands of illegal migrants cross the border every day.

“Getting rid of Title 42 will recklessly and needlessly endanger more Americans and migrants by exacerbating the catastrophe that is occurring at our southern border,” Mark Brnovich (R.), Arizona attorney general. “Unlawful crossings are estimated to surge from 7,000 per day to as many as 18,000.”

Rep. Mike Garcia (R. Calif.), accused the Biden Administration of lying to American citizens, claiming that ending the public health emergency doesn’t require the end to Title 42.

“Title 42 should remain in place as it’s the only backstop to an open border. We must keep this policy in place and work to strengthen border security,” Garcia Submitted Follow us on Twitter.
