Manchin Slams Biden’s ‘Frightening Decision’

April 1, 2022 · 4:21 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) slammed President Biden’s decision to rescind Title 42, a Trump-era health order used to rapidly deport people who cross the border without authorization, as “a frightening decision” that would likely increase the volume of migrants at the southern border, The Hill reports.

Said Manchin: “Title 42 has been an essential tool in combatting the spread of Covid-19 and controlling the influx of migrants at our southern border. We are already facing an unprecedented increase in migrants this year, and that will only get worse if the Administration ends the Title 42 policy.”
