The Biden administration is used to dealing with major consequential topics like the debt ceiling, the pandemic, high inflation and then there is the issue of the southern border. That issue is expected to come to *** head later this week after title 42 ends on May 11th. You see before the pandemic, many asylum seekers would be allowed to stay in the US while their asylum claims work through the court system. Title 42 allowed the US to immediately turn most away since 2020 title 42 has been used 2.7 million times to expel migrants. Many migrants were expelled under title 42 more than once with the policy soon to be over. Some Texas cities like El Paso, Laredo and Brownsville have already declared *** state of emergency already, migrants are sleeping on streets in so many government facilities which often look like this have reached capacity. 10,000 or more migrants *** day are expected to try and enter the US once title 42 expires in anticipation of the spike. President Biden ordered new migrant processing facilities to open in central America in an attempt to stop migrants from even attempting to cross into Mexico, 15 troops have been sent to the border to assist border agents with administrative tasks so more agents can be on patrol Mexico. Meanwhile, agreed last week to accept more migrants expelled from the US, giving the White House more flexibility to deport after title 42. This is challenging. We know that we anticipate more people at the border and there's not enough resources to deal with this On Capitol Hill, the week begins with lawmakers on both sides pondering at least the possibility that the end of title 42 could result in meaningful immigration reform. The house could vote on *** bill this week which would serve as the starting point for negotiations. It is true. Title 42 is *** moment. Maybe this is the opportunity. It's worth noting you don't have to live along the border to feel the impact. States like Arizona and Texas continue to bus migrants to other parts of the country. In Florida. Governor Ron de santis' budget includes 12 million to relocate migrants who come to his state. In Denver, city leaders are spending around 800,000 week on migrant services. And in New York, mayor Eric Adams projects, the city will be caring for 70,000 migrants by next year costing billions. This is an ongoing crisis. Joe ST George Cris News, Washington.
