On Wednesday, Title 42 is about to end. In an article posted on Friday, The New York Post<\/a> explains what that means.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let anyone tell you the border isn\u2019t a disaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mayor Eric Adams has asked FEMA for $1 billion <\/a>to cope with the consequences of the Biden administration\u2019s refusal to enforce the border. FEMA\u2019s responsibilities include dealing with wildfires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and now, another kind of disaster: an open border.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s about to get worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Wednesday, December 21, something called Title 42 is supposed to end<\/a> (though a judge may keep it going a little longer). The program was a holdover from the COVID pandemic and allows Border Patrol agents to bounce illegal border-jumpers back into Mexico<\/a> without getting a hearing or making an asylum claim. It was the only Trump-era immigration-related measure the Biden people kept in place, though they\u2019ve been using it less and less.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though Title 42 is no substitute for actual border enforcement, it\u2019s the only thing standing between today\u2019s chaos and the total disappearance of the border.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama\u2019s DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson has said that 1,000 border arrests per day was more than the agency could handle. We\u2019re now seeing close to 7,000 border-jumpers per day<\/a>, overwhelming our agents and freeing the cartels to move their poison over unguarded borders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only good news is that according to a CNN<\/a> article posted Friday:<\/p>\n

A federal judge in Texas has put on hold for now the Biden administration\u2019s most recent attempt to end the so-called \u201cRemain in Mexico\u201d program<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is pausing the termination of the program<\/a> that was outlined in an October 2021 policy memo while litigation around that memo continues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ruling marks a setback in President Joe Biden\u2019s effort to end the controversial Trump-era policy, which sends certain non-Mexican citizens who entered the US back to Mexico<\/a> \u2013 instead of detaining them or releasing them into the US \u2013 while their immigration proceedings played out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that the chances of an illegal immigrant showing up at their immigration hearing once they have been released into the United States are almost\u00a0 nonexistent. The Remain in Mexico policy at least gives those who actually may be entitled to asylum a chance to state their case and come into America legally.<\/p>\n

The article at The New York Post concludes:<\/p>\n

But the border disaster is not an act of God \u2014 it\u2019s an act of Biden.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And unlike a tornado or earthquake, we can end the ongoing disaster with perfectly ordinary law enforcement and policy changes, rather than just try to keep up with the fallout. The Texas Republicans in Congress recently published a plan to do just that \u2014 complete the border wall system, restart Remain in Mexico, plug the catch-and-release loopholes, start deporting illegal immigrants again, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are all policies Biden canceled the day he was sworn in because they were the handiwork of the Bad Orange Man. The incoming administration was warned repeatedly that reversing those policies would lead to disaster, but as anti-border ideologues, they persisted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For this man-caused disaster, FEMA is not the answer \u2014 law enforcement is.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
