Issa: Biden Must Extend Title 42
“If White House has its way, immigration crisis will go into overdrive”
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) released the following statement:
“Our nation’s worst-ever illegal immigration crisis is Joe Biden’s to answer for,” said Rep. Issa. “From his first day in office, he pursued open borders, more than two million illegals surged into the country, and unprecedented human trafficking and deadly fentanyl was the inevitable result.
“Time and again, this Administration has tied the hands of every CBP officer who swore to defend our border and protect our country. Now, as Title 42 is about to be rescinded by this White House, this crisis will go into overdrive. Tens of thousands of migrants have surged to our border in anticipation of the end of Title 42 and an easier path than ever to circumvent our immigration laws.
“President Biden should extend Title 42 now and do everything else in his power to stop the southern border chaos that even he admits is imminent. We need to get control and lock in policies that we know will work.
“President Biden broke our immigration system. Now it is up to him to fix it.”
