White House claims Republicans 'literally refuse to act' on immigration as GOP preps vote on major border bill
Fox News
The White House blames Congressional Republicans for the migration crisis, claiming they "literally refuse to act" as Title 42 is set to end Thursday.
"Republicans in Congress, in particular, refuse, they literally refuse to act," she asserted. "They refuse to come to the middle and meet us in the middle and come up with a real solution."

Immigration enforcement agencies will lose their ability to expedite illegal immigrant deportations when the Title 42 public health order lifts Thursday. Officials have been preparing for months for an expected surge in migration across the border once the order ends. The order has been used since March 2020 by both the Trump and Biden administration to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, nearly half of all migrant encounters ended in a Title 42 expulsion.
