Sen. Josh Hawley is accusing the Biden administraton of an abidication of its legal responsibilities ahead of the end of Title 42 on Dec. 21, which brings a migrant surge.
Despite that six-point plan, Hawley is one of a number of Republicans and Democrats who are not satisfied with what DHS has in place for a coming spike in migration.
"Yet your department does not appear to have taken any meaningful steps to secure the border in the face of these caravans," he said."This is inexcusable and an abdication of your legal responsibilities." Hawley asks whether the administration still believes that the ending of Title 42 will lower the number of migrant encounters, what policy positions it has developed to counter a surge, and what additional forces and resources it is providing to two areas at the border.With the Title 42 end just days away, lawmakers in Congress have been considering a potential immigration deal that would see Title 42 extended in exchange for a pathway to citizenship for two million illegal immigrants.
