FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, has signed onto bipartisan House legislation that would block President Biden from lifting existing Title 42 immigration restrictions without a plan in place to address the expected surge of migrants at the Southern border.
would extend Title 42 by an extra 60 days, and would require within 30 days the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a plan to Congress on how they will address the expected surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"The Biden Administration is not currently prepared for a large increase in border crossings," Golden said in a statement."Ending these Title 42 authorities without a plan in place to manage the resulting influx of migrants is irresponsible and could create crisis conditions that would be dangerous for both migrants coming to America and Americans themselves."
Cuellar said he talked to the White House twice to urge the administration to not remove the public health order. He's concerned lifting Title 42 sends a signal to criminal organizations that"the border is open" and will mean thousands more people crossing when border agents are already overwhelmed.
