The administration has known for more than a year that the clock is ticking on the end of Title 42 - and yet they have failed to demonstrate that they are making the necessary preparations or present plans capable of managing the expected surge of migrants once the order officially goes away. It always served as a temporary bandage issued by the executive branch to stop the spread of the coronavirus among migrants and border communities. Title 42 was never meant to be a permanent solution to our nation’s border crisis. Once these emergency declarations end, Title 42 - an executive action allowing the government to deny entry to migrants who have or are attempting to enter the United States - will permanently end. The current administration will end emergency declarations the executive branch put in place to handle the public health challenges related to the coronavirus pandemic on May 11. Biden adminstration has not proven it's ready This crisis has progressively worsened year after year, administration after administration, due to the federal government’s repeated failures to address our broken border and immigration system. We’ve seen the challenges at the border our entire lives. We grew up along the Southern border - born in Tucson and Mexico, respectively, and both raised in southern Arizona.

Every day, Arizona border communities are forced to manage a crisis made worse by the increasing levels of irregular migration coming to the Southwest border.
