(Washington, DC) — The White House says it’s doing everything it can to prepare for the expected influx of migrants at the southern border when Title 42 expires Thursday.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration is putting a “robust plan” into place that includes setting up processing centers and surging resources to the border.
She said ultimately Congress has failed to pass any meaningful immigration reform.
The pandemic-era Title 42 policy allowed the federal government to quickly expel migrants who arrived at the border claiming asylum.
