Some Democrats openly opposing Biden's border mayhem

 Vox:

A new fissure is emerging among Democrats: After the Biden administration finally ended pandemic-era border restrictions that have allowed the US to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants to Mexico, moderate Democrats rebelled, joining with Republicans in demanding they be reinstated.

Their decision to break with the Biden administration appears to be less about the policy itself than how it’s perceived politically. Many of these moderate Democrats represent swing states and districts and are facing tough races this fall, where they will have to defend against GOP attacks that Democrats are soft on immigration.

The restrictions, known as the Title 42 policy, were first enacted by the Trump administration in March 2020 at the outset of the pandemic, and have allowed the US to expel migrants without a hearing more than 1.7 million times.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently found that Title 42 was no longer necessary to protect public health from the spread of Covid-19. Public health experts outside the agency have long argued that it was never necessary for public health.

That didn’t stop five Democratic senators — Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly of Arizona, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Raphael Warnock of Georgia, and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire — from joining Republicans in introducing a bill Thursday that would preserve the policy until 60 days after the surgeon general announces the end of the public health emergency related to Covid-19. Or two House Democrats — Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, who represent border districts in Texas — from asking the Biden administration to hold off on ending the policy.

Title 42 effectively kept out the vast majority of migrants arriving on the border, with a few limited exceptions for Ukrainians, unaccompanied children, and some families. Now, moderates and Republicans argue that the administration doesn’t have an adequate plan in place to deal with the crossing of up to 18,000 migrants at the southern border per day once the policy is lifted on May 23.

The Biden immigration policy is opposed by a super majority of Americans and especially those who live in border states.  Biden's failure to enforce immigration laws is a disgrace and worthy of impeachment.
