Democrats Kyrsten Sinema, Mark Kelly Urge Biden to Enforce Border ControlsJohn Binder25 Mar 20228

Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) are pleading with President Joe Biden to preserve border controls that have stemmed illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border.
In a letter to Biden, Sinema and Kelly urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) not to purge the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) order known as Title 42 — first implemented by former President Trump — which gives federal immigration officials broad authority to quickly return border crossers to their native country.
“Given the impacts that changes to Title 42 could have on border communities, border security, and migrants, we urge your administration not to make any changes to Title 42 implementation until you are completely ready to execute and coordinate a comprehensive plan that ensures a secure, orderly, and humane process at the border,” Sinema and Kelly wrote:
To date, we have not yet seen evidence that DHS has developed and implemented a sufficient plan to maintain a humane and orderly process in the event of an end to Title 42. We are aware of the updated Irregular Mass Migration Contingency Plan that DHS has developed, but – with potential changes to Title 42 coming as early as next week – that strategy contains unanswered questions and does not seem likely to allow DHS to secure the border, protect our communities, and ensure migrants are treated fairly and humanely.
…
DHS must ensure their process at the border prioritizes the health, safety, and security of our border communities and prevents a humanitarian crisis that would harm migrants.
