President Joe Biden gloated on Sunday that the situation at the southern border was going "much better than you all expected" after the expiration of Title 42.
Biden spent Sunday at his beach home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, along with First Lady Jill Biden and their daughter Ashley. Facing questions from reporters during a stop on an afternoon bike ride about the end of the pandemic-era policy that allowed border officials to turn away millions of migrants for the last three years, the president expressed satisfaction that Title 42's expiration had not led to an immediate surge.
“Much better than you all expected," Biden replied when asked how he thought the border was looking, later adding that while the number of illegal crossings had gone down, "we have a lot more work to do, we need some more help from the Congress."
Despite his claim, the number of crossings is still exorbitantly high, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection stopping over 10,000 migrants per day this week, the highest levels ever.
