The senators expressed that the border is already in “chaos,” and with Title 42 ending, it will only worsen the situation.Title 42 is a pandemic-era policy that allowed the U.S. to expel migrants who came over illegally without an asylum hearing. Now with it ending, migrants will be allowed to stay in the country while they await their hearing.
The senators called on Biden to complete construction on the border wall that started under former President Donald Trump but remains incomplete today. Biden halted construction on the wall when he first took office. “Joe Biden doesn’t give a damn about Americans,” Sen. Rick Scott said. “Why would I say that? 70,000 Americans died of fentanyl overdose. Why? Joe Biden doesn’t care. He has a completely open border. … This is despicable what he’s doing to American citizens. We are losing people daily to fentanyl, to crime. This is wrong.”
