So Senile Biden's border crisis will continue with the border being open. But the damage will not become worse by rescinding Title 42 and letting every one of these damn illegals in
By a 5 to 4 vote, the US Supreme Court has ruled to keep the Trump-era border policy known as 'Title 42' in effect, agreeing to decide later in the court's term whether 19 red states should be allowed to intervene in defense of the policy in lower courts.
The Title 42 emergency public health policy was invoked in March 2020, allowing border agents to block asylum claims at U.S. borders on the grounds of keeping contagious diseases out of the United States amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision upends a ruling by activist Democrat judge Emmet Sullivan (of Michael Flynn case fame), who said the Trump-era policy was "arbitrary and capricious."
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued in a court filing on Tuesday (pdf) that the Title 42 policy is “now-obsolete.” DHS contended that the Republican-led states want the court to compel the government to keep relying on Title 42 “as the Nation’s de facto immigration policy.”
Once the Title 42 policy ends, federal officials acknowledged that “unlawful border crossings” and “temporary disruptions” are likely to increase.
The Supreme Court also agreed to hear oral arguments and rule on whether states can intervene - a decision which is expected by the end of JUne.
The 11th hour intervention will avert a predicted flood of migrants seeking to enter the Untied States at a time when border crossings are been at or near record highs. Without Title 42, immigrants seeking asylum would be able to enter the US - be given a court date for an immigration hearing, and then released into the country - typically never to return for said hearing.
Title 42 allows the government to instead expel migrants while they await their hearings.
Several Democrats, including Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) and California Governor Gavin Newsom, have expressed support for Title 42 - with Newsom warning that the immigration system would "break" if the rule is ended.
