Border agents and officials are reportedly concerned about a looming “disaster” of an influx of illegal immigrants once Title 42 is lifted by the Biden administration.
Title 42 allows border authorities and border agents to quickly expel illegal migrants who cross the border in public health.
Numerous outlets reported that the Biden administration wants to end the policy before May 23, following a review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The New York Post reports that authorities are anticipating a “disaster” at the southern border should that happen.
“Last year, we were calling it a crisis. “This year it will be a disaster. This is the calm before the storm,” warned Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez.
The outlet notes that once Title 42 is lifted, “officials are bracing for an influx of up to 170,000 migrants and up to 13,000 unaccompanied children crossing the border in May alone.”

Perhaps more alarming is a thread provided byFox News reporter Hillary Vaughn quotes a source at the United States Customs and Border Protection, (CBP).
That source claims the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “is bracing for as many as 500,000 migrants in the six weeks following Title 42 being lifted.”
This is a shocking number, according to any government measurement stick.
CBP source telling me “If half a million people come in one month –that’s an emergency. There is no way we have enough federal agents and NGO’s and NGA’s. There’s not enough people going around. It’s literally going to be a revolving door. Getting people in – getting people out.”

Vaughn claims that DHS has not been able to come up with a plan to give COVID vaccines illegal immigrants, as was promised by President Obama.
“DHS has been providing the COVID-19 vaccines to noncitizens in ICE custody since summer 2021,” a department spokesperson said, adding that they would be “expanding these efforts.”
But the White House is struggling to attain funding for these vaccines, having urgently requested $22.5 billion “to sustain our nation’s COVID-19 response.”
We have made tremendous progress in our fight against COVID-19 but our work isn’t done. We need Congress to immediately provide $22.5 billion in emergency funding to sustain our nation’s COVID-19 response. https://t.co/Y2WLOdi232

Are Veterans being taken away?
Vaughn Reports her CBP source indicating that the administration might pull medical resources from veteran veterans in order to assist with the effort.
“We’re going to take medical services away from people that really deserve that. Who went to combat … to give free medical attention to illegal migrants,” the source allegedly told her, though no further evidence was provided.
🚨One idea being floated: pulling medical personnel from Veterans Affairs to assist “We’re going to take medical services away from people that really deserve that. Who went to combat…to give free medical attention to illegal migrants” CBP source tell me.

Vaughn is told by a CBP source that the Biden government is planning to double the amount of immigrants who arrived in 2021 within a year after Title 42 has been lifted.
“I would say its conservative to say double what came in last year,” she quotes them as saying.
This source telling me the “CBP1 app was originally devised to make it easier for known travelers to enter and go across the border…it’s now being thought of to use as an easy way for folks to get in”

No matter how you view the crisis, these reports represent a staggering number of illegal immigrants and would be unprecedented in U.S. history, making last year’s record-breaking border crisis look like the good ole days.
The numbers speak for themselves:

Earlier this year, Republican Representative Claudia Tenney of New York called for President Biden’s impeachment due to the border crisis.
Tenney’s demands came following the release of a police video showing illegal immigrants being flown by federal contractors into an airport in New York in the dead of night.

“This is a complete, aggravated dereliction of duty, which is why last night on Twitter I called for Joe Biden to be impeached and removed,” Tenney demanded.
“His primary obligation as the commander-in-chief and president of the United States is to enforce our laws, to live up to his oath, to enforce our border security and to tell the truth to the American people,” she added.
Instead, he’s going to lift Title 42 and create a “disaster” at the border some had already assumed had reached a critical tipping point.
