In an inexplicably narrow 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court delivered an 11th hour ruling for some border sanity, ensuring temporarily that President Trump’s Title 42 protections for American sovereignty will remain in place. This provision allows for the expedited return of uninvited migrants attempting to game America’s asylum generosity.
What are the practical implications of this decision? What should be the next steps for the incoming House Republican majority?
This welcome sanity from the High Court provides a modicum of security back to the chaotic US border, at least giving the brave law enforcement officers of Customs and Border Protection a useful tool to partially stem some of the human tsunami of economic migrants trespassing into our nation. Unfortunately, though, the Biden administration has largely ignored actual enforcement of Title 42.
Consequently, the tide of uninvited, unvetted illegal migrants grows markedly worse year by year.
As shown by CBP data, the torrent of trespassers accelerates due to Biden’s incentives to break-and-enter into America. The total number of migrant encounters at the border for November exceeded 233,000, the highest level for that month ever, and a 30% increase over the same period last year.
Unsurprisingly, the Biden administration released these horrible numbers right into Christmas, hoping to bury the news into a holiday-focused weekend. As the chart displays, 2022 finishes well worse than 2021, and now fiscal year 2023 starts off appreciably higher still (the highlighted grey line).-- excerpt, rest at link above --
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
