Kevin McCarthy Says Biden to Blame for ‘Calamity’ at Southern Border after Title 42 Repeal

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) said President Biden “will own the calamity” at the southern border following the repeal of the Title 42 policy, in a statement to Fox News on Saturday.

The policy, first implemented by the Trump administration in March 2020, allowed U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to immediately expel illegal border crossers in order to prevent the spread of Covid at border facilities.

The Biden administration renewed the policy in August 2021, but on Friday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention repealed Title 42, saying that treatments for Covid including vaccines are now widely available. While the repeal will not take effect until May 23, Republicans and some moderate Democrats have warned that the repeal could lead to a new influx of border crossings.

“This decision is wrong and will invite a lawless surge of illegal border crossings to enrich human traffickers and overwhelm our Border Patrol,” McCarthy said in a statement to Fox. “Make no mistake, the President will own the calamity his policies have created.”

More COVID has been spread by dumbass Republicans who refuse to mask up.

Plus are you aware how many Mexican/Americans live in your district Kevin? It may be wise to lighten up on that shit.

2. Just a thought but...

if the repukes wanted to stop people from crossing the border they would propose drastically increasing the penalty for hiring people who weren’t able to legally work here. They could even propose increasing the number of worker visas but they haven’t done that either. They get way too much mileage fear mongering out of the current situation to want to change one single thing.

5. Kevin was opposed to COVID restrictions but now he's for them --

as long as they apply to impoverished brown asylum seekers

He should decide which direction he wants to blow his foul-smelling smoke
