resident Joe Biden is seemingly counting down the days until his administration ends the public health authority known as Title 42, which has stemmed waves of illegal immigration since mid-2020, on May 11. To date, more than 2.5 million illegal aliens have been removed from the United States after crossing the southern border thanks to Title 42.

In 2020, in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis, former President Donald Trump invoked Title 42 at the border to ensure that federal immigration officials could quickly return illegal aliens to Mexico for the sake of public health.

Biden is expected to end the authority in about a month — a move that his administration admits could bring close to 400,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to the border every month.

Such a monthly illegal immigration inflow would be larger than the resident population of New Orleans. “DHS Office of Immigration Statistics projects that [border] encounters could average 11,000 to 13,000 per day after the lifting of the Title 42 public health order, absent additional policy changes,” a proposed federal rule reveals.

That figure does not include the tens of thousands, every month, that would evade Border Patrol agents and successfully cross the border into the U.S. interior.

“You first have to consider that the only deterrent that we currently have is Title 42,” National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told Fox News this week:

When you look at the total number of people that are crossing the border illegally and are being released into the United States, we have already released millions of people into the United States — not thousands, but millions of people. 

The only thing that has allowed us to keep that at bay is Title 42 … so once Title 42 goes away, that 40 percent are going to be released into the United States as well. But it’s not just that, it’s going to be the draw factor … even more people are going to come.

Thanks to the administration’s expansive Catch and Release network, which includes a massive parole pipeline, hundreds of thousands of migrants could be directly released into American communities as a result of Title 42 ending.

“So whereas we’ve released close to four million people into the United States since Biden has been in office, we can expect that number to double in the next two years,” Judd continued. “… it’s crazy to see what’s going on and it’s crazy to see that this administration hasn’t put anything into place to help us get this under control.”

Many foreign nationals who are waiting in Mexico for Title 42 to end before rushing the border have come from around the world. One foreign national speaking to KGTV San Deigo, said he took three flights from Jamaica to end up in Tijuana, Mexico, in the hopes of getting released into the U.S. interior after Title 42’s end.

“We just have to wait here,” the foreign national said. “We took a few planes to come here. We took three planes.”

The foreign national made it clear that he does not have a valid claim for asylum, noting he is simply fleeing violent crime in Jamaica, though that may not stop Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from releasing him into the U.S. interior.

“A lot of us want to come here and make it better, come out of the violence,” he said. “We don’t want to go back home to the violence … I think it’s better here than in Jamaica where the violence is. They won’t treat us that badly, I think. So, hopefully, I’m right.”

Other foreign nationals have taken multiple flights to land in northern Mexico to wait for Title 42’s end as well, including from Ghana, Colombia, Haiti, and India. Some estimates suggest that 15,000 Haitians are in Mexico waiting to rush the border after Title 42’s end.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) told Breitbart News in April 2022 that he expects 30,000 border crossers and illegal aliens every day at the border without Title 42.

This week, Biden’s DHS announced that 1,500 U.S. troops would be deployed to the border, though they will not carry out any law enforcement duties. Instead, the deployed troops will be helping process border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities more quickly.

“President Biden wants to send troops to the border — not to secure it and enforce our immigration laws — but to process illegal immigrants faster,” Cotton said.

“It’s a publicity stunt that does nothing to stop Joe Biden’s border crisis,” he said.✪
