Title 42 fact and fiction

Title 42 will go away on May 23, and already the Biden administration is trying to spin it. The problem is that they’ll soon have a mutiny on their hands. Even if that mutiny doesn’t affect the border, it will certainly affect Midterms.

What is Title 42?

Sources for this story include Politico, the ABC Television affiliate in Albany, New York, The Hill (two stories), Prescott eNews, and the scientific journal Nature Medicine. In addition, one can read this order from the Centers for Disease Control.

Title 42 has become shorthand for “Title 42, United States Code, Section 265.” It actually derives from the Public Health Service Act of 1944 – the same statute the CDC said gave them the authority to impose mask mandates. Title 42 lets the CDC bar anyone from coming into the country if they might be carrying a dangerous infection. In this case, the infectious agent is SARS-CoV-2. The CDC’s current order tells immigration authorities to turn away anyone coming into the country from an infected region.

The first such order went into effect on March of 2020. The current order expires May 23, 2022.

What effect will the end of Title 42 have?

That depends on whom you ask. Some say the number of people trying to crash the border will double – and the government will not expel most of them. The Department of Homeland Security says it has a plan in place to handle the flood of immigrants. But many Republicans and Democrats doubt the plan will work.

Of course, you can count on The Squad and their allies to welcome the influx of immigrants. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) paints every would-be immigrant as one seeking asylum. Asylum from what, she won’t say. Most likely the asylum is only from economic policies that do not include cradle-to-grave public assistance. Furthermore, people like Pressley say any person has a legal right to seek asylum in the United States. But CNAV can’t recall their saying that about Cubans fleeing Communism.

Clearly some people want as many new immigrants as possible. That includes the letter writers in Nature Medicine. Their totally disjointed letter actually weaves in the narrative about people coming in from Ukraine. News flash! Ukraine didn’t blow up until February of this year, not last!

The spin begins

In contrast, nine Democratic Senators have told the Biden administration that they fear for their seats if Title 42 goes away on schedule. The Arizona Senate delegation got behind a bill to keep something like the order in place.

While this is happening, more than twenty Republican State Attorneys General are suing to keep the Title 42 order in place. And Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said flatly:

It’s going to be a signal to everybody in the world: “Come on in.”

For their part the Administration doesn’t seem to want to talk about it. Vice-President Harris literally ran away from someone asking about the Title 42 lapse.

Then, when the Administration does talk about it, they try to lay on a new spin. Now they say that when Title 42 goes away, crossing the border will become more difficult, not less. Practically no one, on either side, believes that. Why would The Squad call to end the policy if that were true? They want more immigrants – because they believe that means more votes for their Marxist plan. Which would work like this:

1. How much money did you make last year?
2. Send it in.
3. Here’s your ration book and the keys to your dormitory room.

To sum up

All of which goes to show that Democrats do not have anyone’s interests at heart except their own. Again, the only reason those nine Democratic Senators said anything against the administration is that they fear for their seats. And even then, many of their fellow Democrats are already snorting at them,

Come on, you sissies. Get with The Program.

Folks, that should tell you it’s time for us to get with a Program of our own. Midterms are coming. We need to make sure that:

1. We’ll even have an election, and then
2. We vote for anybody but a Democrat.
