Congress Still Paralyzed Over the Border

“The pandemic-era border policy known as Title 42 expires at midnight, and lawmakers from both parties are warning that the Biden administration is not adequately prepared for the expected influx of migrants,” Punchbowl News reports.

“But don’t mistake that outrage for something that translates into action. While there’s broad agreement about the nature of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, immigration is still the third-rail issue it has always been on Capitol Hill. The nuances of the issue make it extraordinarily difficult to achieve a bipartisan product that can get 60 votes in the Senate.”

“What’s more, there’s little hope that anything beyond a comprehensive immigration reform package can actually solve the problem.”
