A federal judge in Louisiana last week ruled that Joe Biden cannot lift Title 42 restrictions on the admission of asylum seekers today as he had planned.
This ruling likely does not bother Joe at all, for several reasons.
For one, his Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has wide discretion over whom he applies the restrictions to. For example, last month 235,000 migrants were “encountered,” but Mayorkas exempted 58 percent (137,000) and allowed them to enter anyway. (During the Trump administration, upwards of 95 percent were being turned back by Title 42.)
For another, the ruling gives Joe someone else–i.e. the judge–to blame for his failure to fulfill his campaign promise to end the program. At the same time, it enables him and Mayorkas to keep a lid to some extent on the influx from Mexico.
And three, it really doesn’t matter, because the mobs of illegals, described as “tired of waiting” as though they had some sort of natural right to be here, are surging anyway. Down in the Del Rio sector near Eagle Pass, Texas, as many as 4,000 illegals crossed the border over the past weekend. That total beat out last weekend’s of 2,849. Across the entire border, the numbers are stunning: in just the month and a half from April 1 to May 15, approximately 513,000 migrants illegally crossed from Mexico into the U.S.
Even with Title 42 still officially in effect, Biden’s goal of packing the country full of aliens is proceeding apace. Who cares about a little court order when you’ve got the power?
