Dem says WH is unprepared for migrant surge
The latest criticism against the Biden administration’s policies at the southern border isn’t coming from a conservative — it’s being levied by progressive Rep. Ruben Gallego.

The Biden administration will send 1,500 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border ahead of an expected migrant surge following the end of coronavirus pandemic-era restrictions.

The […]
Karine Jean-Pierre lies again claiming the ‘Border is not open’
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted the border was not “open” and that anyone suggesting otherwise was doing the work of human smugglers in another ridiculed press conference Monday. A major topic during the briefing was the looming expiration of Title 42, a public health rule in place since March 2020 that has been […]
Title 42 extended by Supreme Court
The pandemic border restrictions known as Title 42 will continue, at least for now, after the U.S. Supreme court has granted an 11th-hour request by a group of Republican attorneys general from 19 states seeking to extend those restrictions.

A federal judge in Louisiana says he intends to block the Biden administration’s plans for rescinding Title 42, siding with GOP-led states that had asked for the courts to force the White House to temporarily retain the pandemic-era border policy. The decision from Judge Robert Summerhays, an appointee of former President Trump, will prevent the […]
Title 42 removal in May will leave Democrats in ‘bad shape,’ campaign experts say
An already tough midterm year for Democrats is poised to get rougher when the Biden administration rescinds Title 42 next month, a move experts warn could lead to a rush of migrants seeking asylum in the United States.

Immigration politics stymie Dems ahead of planned border easing
The thorny politics of immigration is heating up ahead of the midterms, as moderate Democrats are urging President Biden to keep tough COVID-19 restrictions in place at the country’s borders while House Republicans are pressing those same Democrats to force a vote on legislation to do just that. The GOP’s procedural gambit, known as a […]
Biden administration curtailing of Title 42 ‘most unpopular decision so far’ according to new poll
A poll released Wednesday finds Team Biden curtailing the use of federal law Title 42 to prevent foreigners from bringing COVID-19 into the U.S. is “this administration’s most unpopular decision so far.” To be sure, ending the Trump administration’s use of the 1940s law as a public health matter during the pandemic was unpopular among […]
Biden’s migrant woes just beginning as border asylum limits end
The ban on asylum-seekers at the U.S-Mexico border on public health grounds was imposed by a president who wanted to restrict immigration entirely.
