In a letter to President Biden, U.S. Representative Rodney Davis (R-IL) is urging the President to keep Title 42, a public health legal tool that’s been used to expel and deport illegal immigrants, in place ahead of what could be the worst months of the immigration crisis on the southern border. The Biden Administration is planning for up to 18,000 illegal border crisis per day, or 540,000 per month, in the immediate future. That is more than double the number of illegal crossings in July 2021, which was the highest during the Biden Presidency thus far.
From the letter to President Biden:
“Rescinding Title 42 will lead to the worst border crisis this country has ever faced. Your own Administration has admitted it is preparing for up to 18,000 illegal border crossings per day. This would mean approximately 540,000 per month, which is more than twice the number of encounters in July 2021—the highest number during your presidency. This will further overwhelm our Border Patrol agents and overcrowd border facilities. This crisis will make it more difficult for Border Patrol agents to interdict human traffickers, drug traffickers, and other bad actors. Further, as your Administration has embraced catch-and-release, having half a million illegal immigrants flood our border every month and be later released into the interior of the United States will put massive strains on our local communities, including hospitals, that they are unequipped to handle.”
Rep. Davis’ is leading efforts in Congress to restore President Trump’s successful immigration and border security policies.
