Secretary Mayorkas: Title 42 Going Away Does Not Mean the Border Is Open

[Townhall] Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assured the American people on Tuesday during a visit to the Rio Grande Valley that his agency is preparing for the expected influx of illegal immigrants if Title 42 officially goes away next Monday.

While still slated to end on May 23, a judge will make a determination whether Title 42 stays or goes as part of a lawsuit that was filed to keep it in place.

"We are preparing for the end of Title 42 based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decision. That does not mean that the border is open beginning on May 23. We continue to enforce the laws of this country. We continue to remove individuals who do not qualify for relief under the laws of this country," Mayorkas explained.

Mayorkas said once Title 42 is removed, they will be able to put punishments on individuals who illegally cross the southern border and do not qualify for asylum, instead of rapid expulsion that does not carry any penalties.

When a reporter asked what message he hoped to send to migrants with the day's event, Mayorkas said the message is to not trust the smugglers.

#6 Secretary Mayorkas: Title 42 Going Away Does Not Mean the Border Is Open

...He's technically right.

It won't be open, it'll be nonexistent.

#8 Mayorkas being in charge of the Border means the Border is open. Title 42 has nothing to do with it.

#9 Apologies are in order for Ethel and Julius. Mayorkas, Brandon and company have surpassed their treason substantially.
