The courts have saved Trump’s Title 42 from Democrats—For now. Judges ruled that Biden cannot toss out the last stitch of Trump’s immigration protection policies but I expect that they’re going to challenge that ruling by January.
Dana Perino, co-host of “America’s Newsroom,” called the Biden administration’s approach to Title 42 a “disaster” when the Supreme Court postponed its repeal. On “Fox Across America,” Perino discussed how the Biden presidency has taken a different approach to immigration policy than the Trump administration, doing “the exact opposite.”
“This has been a disaster! Perino began. Adding, “Democrats have been signaling since 2018 when that primary started that they were going to do everything opposite of President Trump on immigration.”
“Then they get here,” She continued, “and we have a serious problem. Everybody’s coming across. Title 42 is just a small part of what happened during COVID to say, this is a law passed I think in 1929, that said, you can prevent people from coming in if you are concerned about communicable diseases.”
“This is not an immigration policy!” Perino explained. Adding, This is not your border security policy. It is one tool in the toolbox to tell people, no, you have to go back, and it should be used for public health. It should not be used to help protect Americans from people who are coming across illegally. That should not happen.”
She concluded, “But the White House, because they have to do everything opposite of President Trump, they went in initially and said, we want to get rid of Title 42. And then the states were like, well, but if you do, that means we’re going to have X amount more. So then they slow-walked it a little bit. And now the Supreme Court is saying, you have to put up or shut up right now. … The [White House] was floundering all over the place yesterday, I don’t know what they’ll say today.”
The emergency intervention from the high court came days after the Trump-era program was set to expire. The justices announced they will hear arguments about the program in the upcoming year, but limited their review to whether the conservative states may intervene in the litigation.
