Biden tells Dems: 'we're ending Title 42 no matter how much you whine

Now that PINO Biden has been reminded [by the 'person behind the curtain'] that Title 42 is a Trump-era order about immigration regarding communicable diseases and the southern border, and not about Covid 19 and the CDC mandates, he was apparently told to stand behind 'his' decision to rescind the order. This has incumbent Democrats sweating like cows in a slaughterhouse because their constituents don't want the order rescinded.

Title 42 basically uses the Covid pandemic to deport illegal migrant border-crossers instead of the normal 'catch-and-release' policies whereby illegal migrants were allowed into the country and told to return for an immigration hearing. A huge percentage of these illegal migrants never return and simply disappear into the country and eventually vote Democrat. 

But Biden's own party has lost confidence in his ability to have a cogent thought, much less manage the border crisis, as hard-left reluctantly Politico reports.

Facing a growing rebellion from within the Democratic Party, the White House is standing behind its decision to end on May 23 a Trump-era deportation policy for migrants encountered at the southern border.

That decision to end the use of the public health order known as Title 42 has placed President Joe Biden in a political bind. The president is attempting to balance his long-standing promise to revoke the policy — which, under the banner of fighting the Covid pandemic, justified the immediate expulsion of migrants without due process — right as Republicans weaponize immigration before the midterms and as a growing number of Democratic senators want restrictions to remain in place for fear that the administration is not prepared for a summer surge of migrants to the border.

Republicans “weaponize” immigration? Is that worse than “pouncing,” and maybe slightly better than “seizing”? Or is it the other way around? It’s curious why a legitimate policy area would be seen as “weaponized” in an election-cycle debate, unless it’s tacit admission that Democrats have screwed up so badly on the issue that it helps the GOP to discuss it at all.

Democrats have a number of problems all on their own without GOP pouncing or seizing. In the first place, the Biden White House plans to appeal a ruling on mask mandates for Americans on mass-transit systems on the basis that the pandemic still makes it necessary, while Biden will claim that the emergency is over for non-Americans entering the country. It doesn’t take a lot of “weaponizing” for voters to wonder why they’re being forced into masking compliance when illegal immigrants are being given a pass on pandemic measures.

More to the point, though, Title 42 was one of the last tools left in dealing with the scope of the border crisis that Biden’s mismanagement created and then stoked. Democrats realize now that Biden still has no plan to deal with that border crisis, which has only grown worse, except to try to keep national media from mentioning it. As Karen wrote this morning, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas all but admitted that Biden and HHS have no plan to deal with the border crisis after they end Title 42 expulsions.

And as Karen Townsend from Hot Air points out, Mayorkas speaks with forked tongue because while he supports Biden's decision publicly, he knows the president's approval rating is lower than whale poop and this is in large part due to his immigration policy, or lack thereof [my words, not hers].

The Biden administration continues to thumb their noses at proper processes required under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This is a case involving the CDC’s revocation of Title 42, which was supposed to go into effect on May 23rd. But now reports show that the DHS and its sub agencies aren't using Title 42 with illegal migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

The Biden revocation of Title 42 was already unlawful as his administration failed to follow the correct notice and comment procedure under the APA. This unlawful pattern continues as DHS is unlawfully implementing the revocation early – more than a month ahead of time. This is a major reason the CDC's mask mandate for transit systems was thrown out by a federal court.

Biden wants to back this garbage unpopular policy and will lose in federal court again. He just keeps wandering around and stepping on rakes, and that's good for the GOP so let him keep wandering.
