OPINION: Biden's Title 42 disaster is making America Los Angeles
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Roger Marshall, R-Kan., discuss how the end of Title 42 is worsening America's border crisis on 'Lawrence Jones Cross Country.'To say that our border is about to be overwhelmed with the end of Title 42 is an understatement. Our border and the heroic men and women who patrol it have been overwhelmed for more than two years now.
We have already seen the footage of the streets of El Paso, Texas, completely overrun. You have seen the images of massive amounts of people lining up at our border on the Mexico side of the Rio Grande Valley. Border Patrol intelligence revealed more than 700,000 migrants were waiting in Mexico for Title 42 to expire – this figure is larger than the population of El Paso, .
The only way to end this crisis, and to head off the much worse one literally waiting on America’s doorstep, is to change policy. Even worse than the visible tsunami of people showing up to claim asylum, numbers of known"gotaways" are also already through the roof, according to Homeland Security’s own statistics. These are the ones who do not surrender themselves to law enforcement or try to apply for asylum; they’re the ones who have to run and avoid authorities to get into the United States.
Now, without even this remnant of a Band-Aid solution, this crisis is only going to get worse. U.S. authorities will be more overwhelmed than ever before and bad actors are going to escape past them into the interior.
