Governor Ducey took the action in advance of the Biden Administration's plan to end a pandemic-era policy known as Title 42. Title 42 allows the Border Patrol to turn away hundreds of thousands of migrants out of concern they may spread COVID.
Unlike many immigrants who show up at the border, Customs and Border Patrol processed the migrant's asylum claims and released them. Meanwhile, in Mexico, thousands wait for a chance to enter the United States."I think the time is needed for somebody to sit down with the people who are organizing this and find out when they'll have their act together," said Arizona Congressman Tom O'Halleran Arizona 1st district.
With just a few weeks before the scheduled end of Title 42, Congressman O'Halleran saw little sign the administration is preparing for the expected rush of immigrants to ports of entry. The congressman is not alone. At a hearing she chaired last week, Senator Kyrsten Sinema was not impressed with Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas' plan to process immigrants who will be coming by the thousands every day seeking asylum.
