NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Vice President Mike Pence argued Friday that the Biden administration will make the border crisis “even worse” by rescinding the Trump-era Title 42 public health policy.
“It’s hard to believe that the Biden administration has found a way to make the worse border crisis in American history even worse,” Pence told “America Reports.” This is going to only exacerbate the flow of illegal immigrants at our border, which is affecting not only border states but all Americans. “

The Biden administration announced Friday it will be terminating in May the policy used to quickly expel migrants at the southern border since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, despite fears of a massive migrant wave in the coming months.
“After considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19 (such as highly effective vaccines and therapeutics), the CDC Director has determined that an Order suspending the right to introduce migrants into the United States is no longer necessary,” the Centers for Disease Control said in a statement.
Pence defended Title 42 as an effective way to return people to Mexico quickly and have migrants remain in Mexico during the coronavirus pandemic.

“That actually reduced illegal immigration during the Trump-Pence administration by 90%,” Pence told co-host John Roberts. It seems to me that the Biden administration wants to drive an agenda that can only describe as open borders. Americans don’t want open borders. They want secure borders and an end to illegal immigration. This will only make things worse. “
