GOP's McCarthy Vows U.S. Border Trip, Says Biden 'Hellbent on Destructive Policies' He Will Expose


As threatened, the Biden administration’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ended Title 42, a rule implemented during the Trump administration in March 2020 — as the COVID-19 pandemic began — to quickly deport people who crossed illegally into the U.S.

And as expected, already there are new convoys consisting of tens of thousands of migrants heading for the U.S. border as we speak, confident that they’ll be able to get into our country without much difficulty, given Joe Biden’s reversals of nearly all of his predecessor’s border enforcement policies.

Republicans can’t do much about the Biden CDC’s decision to open the floodgates into the country, but they can highlight the impending catastrophe for voters as we edge closer to the midterm elections in November where, hopefully, many of those same voters will turn out for the GOP, the only major party that still believes in U.S. territorial integrity and border security.

So that’s what they intend to do.

Led by GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), several Republicans plan to take a trip to the southwestern border later this month to drive home the point that Biden remains “hellbent on destructive border policies.”

The Daily Wire reports:

McCarthy shared the words in a Twitter post that criticized the Biden administration’s plans to roll back Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows Border Patrol agents to turn away migrants at the border to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

“While President Biden is hellbent on destructive border policies—like ending Title 42—that endanger our country and communities, House Republicans will continue to fight for a secure border. That’s why I will be leading another trip to our southern border later this month,” he wrote.

McCarthy also released a statement on Friday after reports noted that Title 42 will end in May.

“Today’s decision confirms that President Biden has abdicated his responsibilities and is actively working to make the border crisis worse. From day one of his administration, he has failed to protect our nation’s security and to secure the border,” he wrote.

“Today, Biden’s border crisis is worse than ever, but the president has decided to eliminate yet another vital tool: Title 42. This decision is wrong and will invite a lawless surge of illegal border crossings to enrich human traffickers and overwhelm border patrol,” he continued.

“This will inflict suffering, pain, and tragedy throughout our country. Make no mistake, the President will own the calamity his policies have created,” he added.

His statement noted as well that under the Biden regime, there has been a record-high 2.5 million encounters with illegal aliens at the southwestern border. He also shared concerns from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz who has said he expects at least 7,000 border encounters per day in the coming weeks.

“Republicans sounded the alarm on the Biden Border Crisis over a year ago, and things have only been getting worse. The Biden Administration’s open border policies are tying our Border Patrol’s hands—making it practically impossible to secure the border,” McCarthy tweeted alongside a link to an interview.

“This decision is wrong and will invite a lawless surge of illegal border crossings to enrich human traffickers and overwhelm our Border Patrol,” McCarthy told Fox News. “This will inflict suffering, pain, and tragedy throughout our country.”

“Make no mistake, the President will own the calamity his policies have created,” he added.
