Chuck Schumer Blames ‘Hateful and Xenophobic’ Trump Policies for Biden Border ChaosWendell Husebø 21 Sep 2021
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday said “hateful and xenophobic policies” from former President Donald Trump are to blame for President Joe Biden’s disastrous mishandling of increasing waves of illegal border crossings.
“I urge President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas to immediately put a stop to these expulsions and to end this Title 42 policy at our southern border,” Schumer said. “We cannot continue these hateful and xenophobic Trump policies that disregard our refugee laws.”
“We must allow asylum seekers to present their claims at our ports of entry and be afforded due process,” Schumer added.
Title 42 pertains to preexisting law that permits explosions of migrants who have recently been in a country where a communicable disease was present. Over 1.1 million migrants have been stopped from entering the United States under the code since 2020.
Schumer’s comments come in opposition to the Biden-Harris administration, which renewed the existing policy in August. But last week a federal judge blocked the White House from exercising the code by granting a preliminary injunction due to the law’s alleged “irreparable harm.”
Politico reported that the judge’s order only applies to families, “meaning the Biden administration can continue to expel single adults arriving at the U.S. southern border. Unaccompanied children have been exempt from being expelled using Title 42.”
Minority House Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted the “same activist judge made a similar ruling against Title 42 last year. The Trump administration appealed, and his ruling was overturned.”
“President Biden must also appeal immediately,” McCarthy continued. “America’s border security is too important to be undermined by far-Left activist judges.”
