Sen. Ron Johnson accused President Biden of creating a “disaster” by “throwing open” the country’s borders and lifting Title 42.
“What the Biden administration is facilitating here is literally the business model of the most evil people on the planet: these human traffickers. We literally are allowing them to pocket billions of dollars,” Johnson told host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable.”
“That is what this administration is allowing to happen by throwing open our borders, dismantling the successful policies of the Trump administration,” the lawmaker added. “Now we have a disaster on our hands.”known as Title 42 — which allowed the summary expulsion of nearly 2 million migrants. The policy, which went into effect in March 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed Customs and Border Protection officials to immediately expel people suspected of illegally entering the US without allowing them a chance to claim asylum.Win McNamee/Getty Images
“Last year 1.25 million people came into this country … They were [either] encountered and dispersed throughout the country, or they were known ‘got-aways.’ under Title 42,” Johnson fumed. “Now, President Biden sounds like he’s going to stop returning people under Title 42, which will signal to the world that our borders are completely wide open.”The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced earlier this month it would be lifting Title 42 effective May 23.
