Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday said the Republicans are creating a fictional argument about what’s happening at the border as Title 42 expires.
Title 42, a Trump era policy that forced migrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while their immigration case makes it through the system, expired on Thursday.
House Republicans are expected to pass a bill, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, in an effort to get the border crisis under control.
According to some estimates, nearly 1 million illegals are at the US-Mexico ready to storm the border.
Hakeem Jeffries mocked Republicans and said it’s all fiction.
“As is often the case with my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues, they create a fictional argument around what’s happening at the border,” Jeffries said criticizing the GOP’s Secure the Border Act.
