Arizona SenatorSinema is calling on the Biden administration to delay lifting the Title 42 immigration policy, put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, that allowed for the expulsion of migrants due to the virus.
In a Thursday press release, Sinema said the recent plan to extend the travel mask mandate"proves the need to delay lifting Title 42."She cited the protection of the"health and safety of Arizona communities and migrants" as a reason to extend the pandemic-era immigration policy.
Last week, Sinema, along with a group of bipartisan lawmakers, introduced the Public Health and Border Security Act of 2022, which seeks to create"a comprehensive, workable plan" for removing the Title 42 policy. The law would delay the measure's end by at least 60 days, noting that the surgeon general must provide"written notification to the appropriate authorizing and appropriating committees of Congress" two months ahead of its planned end.
