Trump faulted Biden for inviting “millions of illegal aliens to infiltrate our country in a gigantic unlawful invasion.”
“Now, after announcing on April 1, 2022 that he would end my Title 42 protections at the border, and declining to appeal numerous court rulings, Biden is getting what he always wanted: the termination of the most effective border security policy in modern history,” Trump added.
NEW!
President Donald J. Trump:
“By abolishing what remains of Title 42, Biden is willfully and deliberately triggering a cataclysm of illegal immigration like the world has never seen before…
Congress must immediately take three crucial actions.” pic.twitter.com/N4IUaEKnCw

Trump’s remarks came weeks after a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to shut down Title 42, a Trump-era immigration policy that makes it easier for the federal government to remove illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.
Instead of appealing the judge’s decision, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asked the court for five weeks to wind down Title 42.
Title 42 was set to end by December 21, but on Monday, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts halted the lower court’s decision to end Title 42, allowing the policy to remain in effect while litigation is pending in federal court.
BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts has HALTED the lifting of Title 42 for now.
Texas and other states are insisting that the Court leave Title 42 in place.
Today's order is a step in that

The border crisis is in the news ad infinitum but nothing will be done to solve the problem. Talk, talk, talk and more talk. Action will take place only when Congress critters have their loved ones fentanyl-ed.
Mayorkas says the borders are closed and secured, even under oath while testifying to Congress. It must be true because Mayorkas is still a free man.
Someone explain this to me.
Who’s going to arrest him?
Texas hog hunters with their night-vision equipment would be the most efficient.
Actually I favor quad 50s with overlapping fields of fire.
Opinions are one thing but the blatant lies and propaganda that have prevailed here for the last are ruining FR.
We used to strive for facts but no more. I’m not naming you or anyone but hopefully those responsible will move on.
He’s about the only one in D.C. that can say I told you so.
Well maybe he will take the Speaker’s gavel? Wouldn’t that be glorious….in so many ways.
Oh God i would love that! Is that possible? Does he have to be elected? Imagine him creating a committee to look into the Russia collusion hoax, have it televised and investigate Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer, Cheney, Schiff and allow no cross examination, no discovery, only hand picked witnesses and everyone on the committee is Republican

“Trump then called on Congress to take three “crucial actions” to address the nation’s border crisis.
First, Trump called on Congress to include a “TOTAL and PERMANENT BAN” in a federal spending bill on any president using taxpayer dollars to release illegal aliens into the country.
“That is why Republicans must do whatever it takes to prevent Mitch McConnell from passing his sellout Omnibus Bill,” Trump continued.
Second, Trump called on Congress to codify all Trump-era immigration policies into federal law.
“My Title 42 policy must be legislatively restored and made permanent, making clear that it can be used in any circumstance the president deems necessary for border management,” Trump said. “Likewise, Remain in Mexico, our Safe Third Country agreements, expedited removals, 212(f), and many other vital Trump policies must be enshrined in federal law.”
Finally, the former president and current presidential candidate urged Congress to establish “CRIMINAL PENALTIES for any senior official or political appointee who orders, aids, or abets the mass-release of illegal aliens into the United States.”
“What these Open Borders extremists are doing to our country is criminal—and it should be punished as such,” Trump said.
“In the meantime, as we brace for a wave of illegal mass migration the likes of which has never been seen before, our prayers are with the brave Border Agents and ICE officers who Biden has so viciously betrayed,” Trump concluded. “We thank them for their service, and we stand with them as they fight to keep bloodthirsty criminals, savage gangs, sadistic drug cartels, child and women smugglers, and human traffickers out of our country.”
