President Biden announced an end to Title 42, but both parties are putting pressure on the President to keep the policy in place. Meanwhile, those working along the border are bracing for what this policy change means.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — President Joe Biden announced that Title 42 will end at the end of May, but now there’s pushback from both Republicans and Democrats to have a better plan in place before that policy is lifted.
Border Patrol agents and advocacy groups helping migrant families are preparing for what the potential change in policy could mean for national security. “Title 42 is meant to be a temporary response to the COVID pandemic,” said Sara Ramey, an immigration attorney at the Migrant Center for Human Rights in San Antonio.
“We just basically have been expelling people, regardless of whether they've already been vaccinated, have tested negative, and, you know, otherwise are not in any way, shape or form a threat to public safety,” said Ramey.“Border Patrol agents in Del Rio sector and across the country are completely overwhelmed. We're burned out. And there's really no end in sight,” said Anfinsen, who has been an agent for his entire career.
She said she is worried if people can’t be processed and have to keep waiting along the border, national security is at risk, but not because of the migrants themselves.
