Psaki fails to explain why Biden won\u2019t travel to border\">growing southern border crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>McConnell and Abbott Excoriate Biden<\/h3>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) criticized Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a Senate speech, saying they \u201chave proven they are either incapable, unwilling, or uninterested in defending and maintaining our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, whose state has the largest border buttressing Mexico, raised the alarm about how Biden\u2019s \u201copen border policies\u201d have fueled problems such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmaker-says-he-would-arrest-mayorkas-if-he-could\/\" title=\"Lawmaker Says He Would Arrest Mayorkas If He Could\">fentanyl drug trafficking<\/a> and illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden has failed in his constitutional duty to protect our nation. Just over two years ago, the United States had the most secure border in decades. Biden abandoned our border on DAY ONE of his administration \u2013 leading to a RECORD increase in illegal crossings,\u201d Abbott said in a recent tweet.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis Signs Legislation to Crack Down on Illegal Immigration<\/h3>\n<p>Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who may soon enter the 2024 presidential contest, lashed out at Biden as he signed legislation on Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden Border Crisis has wreaked havoc across the United States and has put Americans in danger,\u201d DeSantis said in a statement. \u201cIn Florida, we will not stand idly by while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-signs-strongest-anti-illegal-immigration-bills-into-law-as-biden-border-crisis-worsens\/\" title=\"DeSantis enacts tough anti-illegal immigration laws amidst worsening Biden border crisis.\">federal government abandons<\/a> its lawful duties to protect our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Emergency Declarations and Apprehensions<\/h3>\n<p>Multiple cities and at least one state have declared emergencies as officials brace for a surge in asylum-seekers and longer processing periods when the pandemic-era Title 42 expires by the end of Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Large groups of people have been seen amassing at the southern border, and many are making a break for the United States between official ports of entry. Border agents are making up to 10,000 apprehensions daily this week, Customs and Border Protection sources told Fox News.<\/p>\n<h3>Border Agents Told to Release Migrants<\/h3>\n<p>The Associated Press reported border agents have been told to start releasing migrants from stations that are overcrowded while instructing them to show up to an immigration office within 60 days or face deportation. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sued the Biden administration in an effort to ensure it complies with a court ruling from earlier this year and prevent the \u201cmass release\u201d of migrants.<\/p>\n<h3>Mayorkas Urges Migrants to Follow Lawful Pathways<\/h3>\n<p>In a bid to get a handle on the situation, Mayorkas said smugglers have been \u201cspreading false\u201d information that the border will be open after Title 42 expires. \u201cIt will not be. They are lying,\u201d he said on Wednesday. The secretary urged migrants stick to lawful pathways to entry and warned that anyone who enters the country illegally faces the prospect of stiffer punishments under Title 8, which can ban people from re-entry for several years.<\/p>\n<h3>Biden Concedes Border Will Be &#8220;Chaotic&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Despite taking some precautions, including sending troops to assist authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border and moving to disqualify migrants from applying for asylum in the United States if they neglected to first apply for asylum in other countries they traveled through, Biden conceded this week that the border will be \u201cchaotic for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Republicans Fight for Border Security and Immigration<\/h3>\n<p>Democrats in Congress have pressed the president to consider other actions such as further loosening sanctions on communist Cuba and socialist Venezuela, arguing the suffering they cause are a driving force behind migration, or expanding legal pathways for migrants from certain Central American countries in a bid to boost local economies.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell, in his floor speech on Thursday, said \u201csome of our Democratic colleagues are feigning great angst and indignation over\u201d the end of Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the GOP-led House passed a bill on Thursday that focuses on border security and immigration, including imposing limits to asylum eligibility and resuming construction of a wall. \u201cWhile the do-nothing Democrats ignore the country\u2019s crisis, Republicans are fighting for YOU,\u201d tweeted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).<\/p>\n<h3>Trump Pledges to Restore Sovereign Borders<\/h3>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump warned during a 2024 campaign CNN town hall that Thursday \u201cis going to be a day of infamy.\u201d If re-elected president, Trump pledged in a statement that on day one of his new administration he would \u201cend this travesty and restore the sovereign borders of the United States of America\u201d and \u201cimmediately resume expedited removals of people [who] are crossing illegally, our border.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of the imminent expiration of the Title 42 policy credited with blocking millions of crossings, high-profile Republicans are speaking out against President Joe Biden and his administration for their handling of a growing southern border crisis.
