…In just a few weeks, when President Biden ends Title 42 enforcement at the border, we will see hundreds of thousands more illegal immigrants arriving in communities throughout the U.S….

Furthermore, left-wing activists who hate Title 42 are already rationalizing the Democrats’ plan, suggesting it is a “classic Washington maneuver” to “placate … Republicans.” That should be a warning sign to everyone who cares about actually enforcing the law….

Administration insiders will continue to send that message…until Congress forces them to do their job. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill of my own, one that will extend Title 42 for another three years — without a convenient workaround for forgoing enforcement….
