WASHINGTON — If it’s Thursday ... President Biden weighs releasing 1 million barrels of oil per day from Strategic Petroleum Reserve, NBC’s Peter Alexander reports. ... Biden speaks on energy prices. ... More than 50 House Republicans attend a fundraiser for Rep. Liz Cheney's, R-Wyo., opponent, per NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard. ... The NBC News poll finds 1-in-5 Americans saying they use cryptocurrency. ... And the Midterm Meter still points to “shellacking” territory for Democrats.
But first: Just as the Biden administration tries to solve one problem (tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gas prices), it now faces another problem (a potential surge at the border).
NBC’s Julia Ainsley reports that the administration “is preparing to lift Title 42, the public health authority the U.S. has used since the spring of 2020 to stop the spread of Covid by preventing immigrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to claim asylum.”
Officials say the policy will be lifted on May 23.
More from Ainsley: “U.S. officials, state governors and local officials have warned of a potential surge of more than 170,000 migrants across the border if Title 42 is lifted. Thousands of would-be asylum seekers have been waiting in camps on the Mexican side of the border while Title 42 has been in effect.”
And there’s this: “One senior Department of Homeland Security official said there is concern inside the agency that setting a date to lift Title 42 for over a month away will incentivize more would-be immigrants to leave their homes now in hopes of being allowed into the United States in May.”
Team Biden has tried to compartmentalize the situation at the border, balancing those who want better treatment of asylum seekers, versus others who want a tough-on-border-crossing approach.
But it looks like they will soon have another problem on their hands.

Challenge? It’s a disaster for US!
Another challenge = another failure. It’s Brandon’s specialty.
The challenge being to print more money for handouts? Butt, money for Ukraine’s border? No problem.
At this point I believe it’s by design. Another potential vote that can be bought with our tax dollars.
Biden caused the problem by his policies and ignoring the law. He needs to be impeached.
any challenges Biden faces are of his own making
Challenge?
Hell! It’s all part of their damned plan!....................
Jo Jo and Harris don’t do “challenges”. They respond by, Jo Jo hiding in the basement and Harris by giggling and jiggling. A couple losers.
Potential new border surge presents one more “opportunity” for Biden administration
The only challenge that Biden has on the border is how to get more illegal immigrants in.
The only “challenge” is how they get even more and move them fast enough to help the democrats in the midterms.
Newsflash...There is nothing “potential” about it. The dregs of humanity (future democrats) are waiting for the green light.
