BETO’S SUPPORT FOR ENDING TITLE 42 WOULD LEAD TO A FLOOD OF MIGRANTS
“Thousands of migrants are in a caravan moving through Mexico towards the border with the U.S. If President Biden and extreme liberal Beto O’Rourke have their way, they’ll roll out the red carpet by eliminating Title 42.”
– Mark Miner, Communications Director
“The Largest Caravan Of Migrants So Far This Year” Is Currently Making Its Way Through Mexico To The Border With The U.S., Adding To The “Hundreds Of Thousands” Of Migrants Waiting On The Border For Title 42 To End. “As the largest caravan of migrants so far this year journeys into central Mexico, the continued enforcement of a public health order barring their admission into the United States threatens to exacerbate already deteriorating humanitarian conditions on the southern border. The caravan, largely composed of asylum seekers from Venezuela, could add as many as 11,000 people to the population of migrants currently stuck in limbo near the U.S.-Mexico border—estimated to number in the hundreds of thousands. Many of them have been living in dangerous conditions for months or longer awaiting the final repeal of Title 42, the public health order that has effectively halted asylum admissions into the United States from Central and South America.” (Scott Bixby, “2022’s Biggest Migrant Caravan on Collision Course With Trump-Era Border Order,” The Daily Beast, 6/13/22)
O’Rourke: “Title 42 Is Bad Policy… We Must End Title 42…” Q: “Has your position on Title 42 evolved?” O’ROURKE: “Title 42 is bad policy. … But we must end Title 42, we must do that responsibly, and the Biden administration must step up by meeting with these border communities and working with them to make sure that we do that.” (Beto O’Rourke, Remarks, El Paso, TX, 4/15/22)
