Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., during a visit to the besieged southern border, is warning that Border Patrol agents are facing a “crisis beyond measure” as the Biden administration moves to roll back Title 42.
, is warning that Border Patrol agents are facing a"crisis beyond measure" as the Biden administration moves to roll back Title 42 -- while stressing that the impacts of the crisis are felt well beyond the border states.
While it is a public health order, not an immigration policy, it has become one of the central border policies in place as the U.S. faces a continuing crisis of numbers at the border. In February, approximately 55% of the more than 164,000 migrants encountered were returned due to the order, rather than being released into the U.S.
Sources told Fox News that there were approximately 8,000 migrant encounters on Friday, higher than the 7,000 a day agents were recently averaging. DHS estimates for the coming months have ranged to up to 18,000 a day.Hagerty was present at a muster of Border Patrol agents when their superiors told them the news of Title 42’s lifting and described a sullen atmosphere among the agents.
Hagerty has long been warning about the effects of the border crisis on the ongoing fentanyl crisis, noting that there have been more than 100,000 overdose deaths a year, many of them attributable to the deadly drug -- which is frequently produced in Mexico from Chinese precursors and shipped across the border into the U.S.He said that Tennessee officials warned that they are seeing more and more drug overdoses and"the toll this is taking on the middle part of America…is significant.
