Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema attacked the White House on Sunday for doing nothing regarding the border crisis despite having two years to plan for the Title 42 mandate to expire.
The pandemic-era policy, which originally allowed the U.S. to expel certain migrants as a health mandate, is set to expire on Thursday. Even with the policy in place, the Biden administration has faced record levels of illegal border crossing since taking office in Jan. 2021.
"Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan spoke with Sinema on the border crisis as well as her proposed bill to continue a similar policy at the McCain Institute's Sedona Forum. As the expiration date draws closer, however, Sinema began criticizing the White House for its inaction.
"What you introduced was a temporary two-year authority to expel migrants with an exemption for asylum claims because of the immediate title 42 expiration," Brennan said.
"That’s a Band-Aid," Sinema responded. "The Biden administration had two years to prepare for this and did not do so. Our state is going to bear the brunt. Migrants will be in crisis as soon as next week. It will be a humanitarian crisis because we’re not prepared. The legislation we introduced yesterday is ability tiding this over, giving us time and space for the Biden administration to do their job and for us legislators to create a plan to get through the House and Senate."
Brennan remarked that the bill may not receive enough support from Congress to pass. Sinema remained optimistic, though remarked that the Department of Homeland Security and the federal government has yet to share information with her or border towns regarding what to expect after the end of Title 42.

When she says prepare she is talking about being ready to process millions more into our country. Title 42 or no 42 they are still coming in illegally. She is not talking about stopping the invasion.
EXACTLY.
But but but, the big bad Orange Man did stuff, you know, that even Super Piss Pants Joe can’t undo. It was like laws that aren’t even laws which makes things unpossible. Unpossumus even. /s
The turtle loves everything but having to actually do something when in the majority.
He wants the perks. Not the job.
