.VP Kamala Harris broke her silence on the end of Title 42 while attending a fundraiser in Georgia on Friday. 'This issue of immigration falls squarely within the responsibility of the United States Congress,' Harris said.
The vice president attended the Democratic Party of Georgia’s fundraising event in Atlanta Friday, a day after the expiration of Title 42, the public health order that began during the coronavirus pandemic to keep asylum-seekers from entering the country.
"You know, I hear that everything in the last couple days is going rather smoothly, given what the concerns were," Harris responded."The bottom line, however, is that this issue of immigration falls squarely within the responsibility of the United States Congress." Harris was tasked with leading the White House's border efforts in March 2021. President Joe Biden carried a similar role while he was vice president to then-President Barack Obama.Title 42 ended on May 11, with 1,500 troops deployed across the U.S.-Mexico border to receive an expected surge in migration. The Biden administration does not plan to deploy anymore.
A senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection official at the agency’s Washington headquarters told the Washington Examiner in a phone call Friday that the number of illegal immigrants apprehended nationwide remained very high, with 9,000 on Thursday alone.
