Should we keep Title 42 in place? There is some speculation that Biden may keep it going.
A wave of border jumpers are patiently waiting!
I think Congress should get off their collective asses and do something meaningful about Immigration reform in place of sitting back and complaining to favorable networks about the actions of one administration or the next.
I believe 1986 was the last time something meaningful was done and even with that it is largely ignored.

We stopped 1/8th of the world’s population…..
Ever heard of "Catch and release"?That has to be fake nooz. The citizens of Trump Fan Nation insist our borders are open and we are just waving everyone through.

Title 42 is about a public health emergency. Is there a public health emergency?Should we keep Title 42 in place? There is some speculation that Biden may keep it going.

apprehended. You do know what that means, right?What more can be done?

While 'reform' might be good, IMHO enforcement of our current laws, including those on the hiring side, would be a good start.
Politics screwed that up a long way back.
Well, if politics precludes the enforcement of current statute, what makes anything think the political will is there to both rewrite the statutes and enforce them?
The bolded is the crux of the issue.It is a good point, and I am unsure there is a solid answer to that as it would not be the first time legislation ends up costly and/or difficult to see through.
The main issue I do have is our current immigration code, enforced or otherwise, is out of date. Even with 'pie in the sky' perfect enforcement I highly doubt all of a sudden immigration issues would stop. Why? Because the root of all immigration is economic. Quintuple funding for enforcement and illegal immigration continues to occur so long as enough see the risk to obtain new economic condition here vs. where they came from.
However, for the purposes of this thread keeping title 42 is a purposeful distraction.
If the original intention was to slow down immigration masquerading as covid response then we can conclude with ease the debate today on keeping it or not is really about something other than covid. No matter if for or against keeping it, we are really talking about the politics of one administration potentially undoing something from the previous administration all the while Congress sits on the sidelines.
The last attempt was 2013 and the Gang of 8. A 4-4 bipartisan group that drafted immigration reform legislation. I forget how it got killed, but what interests me is this:I think Congress should get off their collective asses and do something meaningful about Immigration reform in place of sitting back and complaining to favorable networks about the actions of one administration or the next.
