DEMOCRATS DIVIDED: Democrats know that Biden's repeal of Title 42 will usher in an illegal immigration crisis the likes of which America has never seen--just months before the midterm elections.
Senate Democratic leaders sacrificed a $10 billion coronavirus spending plan Tuesday because they opposed a draft GOP amendment that would preserve the Title 42 border barrier, which is now scheduled for complete removal by May 23.
The Democrats withdrew the spending bill because the GOP was likely to win an amendment that would direct officials to keep the barrier up. The barrier is still operating, but President Joe Biden’s border chief is quietly allowing roughly 70,000 migrants through the Title 42 barrier each month. The GOP amendment is a political problem for Democrats as each Democrat’s no vote could be used in a future election campaign.
If the amendment passes the Senate, then all of the House Democrats would be forced to vote — indirectly — for or against the GOP measure. Those House votes would also be used in the 2022 midterm elections, in which the Democrats’ migration record is expected to be a major drag on Democratic candidates.On Tuesday, a top Democrat, Rep. Bennie Thompson told reporters he would support a spending plan thatreviving Title 42.
