Border city warns Biden: 'No amount of preparation' will limit Title 42 disaster:
The mayor of border city McAllen, Texas, is pleading with President Joe Biden not to end a Trump-era pandemic policy for turning away migrants, warning the White House that “no amount of preparation” can ready them for the expected influx of illegal immigrants.
Mayor Javier Villalobos asked the Biden administration to reconsider ending the public health policy, Title 42, which has allowed the Border Patrol to turn away immediately most people who illegally come across the border between ports of entry. But that policy is set to end on May 23, and homeland security officials in Washington have warned that up to 18,000 people could be encountered in a single day.
“Although our community is giving, well-prepared, and proactive, no amount of preparation will allow for a local government such as the City of McAllen to respond to the dramatic rise in undocumented migration that is anticipated as a direct result of the United States federal government announcing the end of Title 42 effective May 23, 2022,” Villalobos wrote in a letter sent Wednesday. --->READ MORE HERE
Texas Border City Mayor Asks Biden to Keep Title 42 amid COVID Variant:
The mayor of one of the largest border cities in Texas sent a letter to President Joe Biden, asking him to reconsider keeping the Title 42 policies set to end on May 23. The request by the Texas politician comes as the U.S. sees a rise in the coronavirus BA.2 variant.
This week, McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos sent a letter to Biden stating that the end of Title 42 would have a dramatic effect on his city. “Although our community is giving, well prepared and proactive, no amount of preparation will allow for a local government such as the City of McAllen to respond to the dramatic rise in undocumented migration that is anticipated,” Villalobos wrote.
Villalobos is the same politician who published a video warning of the exponential increase in illegal migration that would affect his community once Title 42 was removed.
Title 42 was implemented in March 2020 as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, and while conditions have improved, the virus continues to pose a threat with new data showing a spike in infections due to the BA.2 variant.--->READ MORE HERE
