Dems: Free Migrants into U.S. to Stop Coronavirus in Foreign Countries

House Democrats are urging President Joe Biden to end migration controls at the United States-Mexico border to help slow the Chinese coronavirus in foreign countries.

In March 2020, former President Trump imposed a CDC order known as Title 42 that allows federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers to their native countries to prevent adding to the current public health emergency in the U.S. Nearly 460,000 border crossers have been expelled and deported from the U.S. since March 2020 thanks to Title 42.

In the last four months, alone, between 62,000 to 65,000 border crossers have been expelled and deported monthly under Title 42.

A group of 61 House Democrats are asking Biden to end Title 42 - arguing that the U.S. is contributing to the global spread of the coronavirus by deporting border crossers to their native countries.

Border crossers not enrolled in Remain in Mexico do not have to undergo coronavirus tests and many do not have to adhere to quarantine requirements.

In the first ten days of February, DHS has released at least 2,000 border crossers into the U.S. interior.

In exit polling following the 2020 presidential election, about 5-in-6 voters said closed U.S. borders were vital to slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
