Chip Roy is sounding the alarm today on Twitter about the Biden Administration ending the last border safeguard which will cause illegal immigration at the border, believe it or not, to get “exponentially worse”:
🚨🚨🚨 URGENT BORDER UPDATE: Very soon, the Biden administration is slated to eliminate the last border security safeguard America has against his ruinous immigration agenda – Title 42.

Title 42 allows the US to turn away migrants at the border on public health grounds.
The review period for keeping this policy ends tomorrow. If it expires, the scale of this border crisis stands to get EXPONENTIALLY WORSE.

The open borders crowd HATES this crucial Trump-era policy because it obstructs Democrats’ plan to bring as many illegal migrants as possible into the interior US.
The Biden Admin has already chosen to eliminate enforcement as much as possible.

The result? Mayorkas and DHS illegally released AT LEAST 40k migrants with COVID-19 into U.S. cities so far.
We know this because former acting Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection Mark Morgan exposed them in August.https://t.co/fwfjotI8iw

Now, keep in mind. Mayorkas has long REFUSED to FULLY enforce Title 42.
Fewer than 60% of illegal encounters have been turned away under Title 42 since Mayorkas took office.
Before he took office, 80% were turned away.

Under Sec. Mayorkas’s leadership, and without enforcement of Title 42, we could see MILLIONS of encounters (followed by releases into the interior) throughout the rest of this year.

Chip Roy says Congress can force the Biden administration to continue enforcing Title 42 and says if Democrats refuse to do it, then Republicans should force a vote on and put them on the record:
If Democrats refuse to force DHS to fully enforce Title 42 amid this ongoing border crisis, then Republicans should have the fortitude to stand together and force a vote on the matter.
Put. Them. On. The. Record.

Last April, @RepHerrell and Rep. Roy filed a discharge petition to force a vote on keeping enforcement of Title 42.
It needs 218 signatures, but currently have only 197 Republicans on board.
15 House GOP Members STILL have not signed it.

As bad as this border crisis has been, it will get unimaginably WORSE if Title 42 completely expires and Biden’s DHS opens the floodgates.
It’s time for Congress to FIGHT for a secure border and a safer America.
