Title 42 stands between the U.S. and chaos at the border
Migrants have been masssing at the U.S.-Mexico border waiting for the Title 42 health program to expire on May 11. Why? Once it does, it will create an opportunity for the migrants to cross the border and get a toehold in the United States.
“There are thousands and thousands just waiting for Title 42 to end. I would say a fear is that the Biden admin has no clue just how bad it’s going to get. We can barely actively patrol the border now. When Title 42 ends, all of our resources, all of our little manpower that we do have, are going to be focused on processing. Field work will nearly cease to exist in my opinion,” a Customs and Border Patrol agent working along the southern border told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Title 42 was established during the Trump Administration at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Border officials can automatically refuse entry to migrants who may have been infected by the deadly virus. According to government statistics, 2.5 million potential illegal immigrants have been turned away at the border.
Some border states challenged the end of the order, but that only delayed the inevitable end. And once it does end, the Department of Homeland Security estimated CBP could be expected to handle up to 14,000 illegal immigrants each day, a source told CNN.
Yet, despite that expected wave of illegals, little to nothing has been done to prepare the southern border for the surge.
“Most of the time, we are just told that Title 42 will end eventually and to be mentally prepared for the influx of migrants when it does. Regular line agents don’t seem to be offered an outline or plan as to how we will actually deal with the large numbers at the processing level,” one agent told the DCNF.
While the program can’t and shouldn’t remain in place indefinitely, right now it is protecting our southern border. Even the Biden Administration has admitted that once it expires, there will be a surge of illegals.
So why hasn’t more been done? Agents reassigned. Temporary facilities arranged for. National Guard or other military deployed.
The federal government knows that Customs and Border Patrol and border communities can’t handle the expected wave of people crossing illegally. El Paso, which has a Democrat mayor, has already declared a state of emergency in the city because of the overwhelming demand for services that the growing illegal immigrant population requires, and the city can’t provide. And he did that while Title 42 is still in effect.
Meanwhile, the White House appears to be doing nothing to strengthen our border. When Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked what Vice President Kamala Harris is doing to address the “root cause” of mass migration to the southern border, which is something she has been put in charge of, Jean-Pierre said, “I don’t have anything to lay out specifically on what that work looks like.”
When that wave of illegals hits the border, it will be a tidal wave that overwhelms the order and facilities along the border unless the government starts preparing now. It may be too late, but anything that can be done to better prepare is better than nothing.

Migrant Surge Returns to West Texas Border Sector — 10K Apprehensions Last Week
El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 10,000 migrants who crossed the border between ports of entry during the past week. The spike follows a short downturn in migrant crossings as border officials prepare for the end of Title 42.
El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony “Scott” Good tweeted a weekly recap revealing his agents apprehended an average of 1,470 migrants per day during the past week. This shows that agents apprehended approximately 10,290 during the one-week period.
The report marks a resurgence of large migrant group crossings following a short downturn following December’s peak of 55,770 migrant apprehensions in December. That number fell to 30,035 in January when President Joe Biden announced new migrant protocols that allowed certain nationalities of migrants to be returned to their home country under Title 42.
In February, that number began to rise again with the apprehension of 32,233 migrants, according to official U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports. An unofficial Border Patrol report reviewed by Breitbart Texas earlier this month revealed that migrant apprehensions jumped again to approximately 38,000. CBP officials have not yet released the official March reports.
If the average reported this week by Chief Good holds through the month, the El Paso Sector could see upward of 44,000 migrant apprehensions for April.
The Title 42 coronavirus protection protocol established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2020 is scheduled to come to a close on May 11, Breitbart News reported.
In March 2022, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark first reported a Department of Homeland Security report estimating the end of Title 42 could bring as many as 18,000 migrants per day to cross the southwest border.

Mayorkas Expands Migrant Pipeline Through Panama Jungle
President Joe Biden’s border chief is expanding his migrant transfer camps in Panama, even as he says he will clamp down on the global migrants who are using those camps to help reach the United States.
“I don’t see any indication whatsoever this [migrant traffic in Panama] is stopping,” journalist Michael Yon told Breitbart News shortly after he visited the migrant camps in Panama that are being expanded by homeland secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:
They’re clearly expanding — today, just hours ago, I was in a camp just 300 meters from where I’m sitting, and they’ve got new buildings there and nobody’s slept on the bunks yet. These buildings house about 60 bunk beds each — that’s about 120 [sleepers] per building …
Some of these bunk beds are brand new. They still have the plastic on them. I was in the building today looking at them. And they’re still increasing [capacity]. They’re clearing land right over here, right behind the hotel I’m staying at … to put more buildings. We were in both camps today. They’re both at least twice as big as they were last year.
In 2022, Mayorkas provided taxpayer-funded aid, security, and buses to bring 250,000 migrants north after they crossed the Panama jungle on the border with South America. The migrants cross the deadly Darien Gap jungle trails after traveling from Colombia on boats protected by U.S.-funded Panamanian security forces.
“Right now, they are [moving north] about 1,200 [migrants per day] … or about 30 buses,” Yon added.
Data from the Panama government says almost 90,000 migrants crossed through the Darien Gap in the first 90 days of the year.
The daily traffic could deliver 430,000 migrants in 2023 into the homes and jobs that would otherwise go to ordinary Americans and their children.
Ben Bergquam, a journalist with Real America’s Voice (RAV-TV) News, reported on April 9 about Mayorkas’ migrant escalator:
Breitbart News asked Yon about the April 11 announcement threatening to stop the northward flow of Veneualans, Haitians, Ecuadoreans, Africans, and many other people trying to reach the U.S. border.
The news was delivered on April 11 in a Trilateral Joint Statement issued by Panama, its southern neighbor Columbia, and President Joe Biden’s zealously pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas:
The three governments will seek to achieve the following ambitious goals:
End the illicit movement of people and goods through the Darién by both land and maritime corridors, which leads to death and exploitation of vulnerable people for significant profit.
Open new lawful and flexible pathways for tens of thousands of migrants and refugees as an alternative to irregular migration.
Mayorkas “is just lying — that’s all they do is lie,” Yon added. “They’re increasing the flow,” he added.
In many speeches, the Cuban-born Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws that protect ordinary Americans’ wages and wealth are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
The secret taxpayer-funded transfer of illegal migrants into Americans’ homes and jobs is being run by Mayorkas and by Biden’s progressives. It is backed by Democratic politicians and is hidden by their establishment media allies. Rationally, migrants cheer for Biden over former President Donald Trump:
Mayorkas’ migration is a government-orchestrated invasion, said Yon.
That view — and the term “invasi0n”– is a mainstream American view. An August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR), revealed that 54 percent of Americans accept the “Invasion” view. That majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats
The Ipsos poll may understate the public’s view of Biden’s migration as an “invasion” because many respondents claimed ignorance or hid their views. For example, 36 percent of independents and 25 percent of Democrats said they “Don’t know” when asked about the invasion term.
But the Mayorkas flood of Venezuelans, Haitians, Ecuadorians, and others is overwhelming Mayorkas’ efforts to hide the chaotic mass migration at the border — and creating political risks for Biden’s 2024 campaign.
“There’s too many coming through [the Darien Gap] and they’re just piling up the [U.S.-Mexican] border,” said Todd Bensman, an investigator with the Center for Immigration Studies.
Mayorkas and his allies “want to get as many foreign nationals into the country as possible in the time that they have, but it’s going to cost them politically … so they don’t want [the migrants] to be seen,” Bensman told Breitbart News while he was a visit to Juarez, Mexico.
Mayorkas’ failure to hide the migration may be a 2024 problem for Biden and his campaign aides — but only if the GOP’s leaders make a populist, pocketbook wages-and-jobs pitch to swing voters, including the many U.S. college grads who have been replaced by Indian visa workers.
But donors oppose that pocketbook pitch. So far, GOP leaders only denounce migration to motivate base voters.
If the GOP really wants to stop the migration, Bensman said, they would fund the quick repatriation of migrants caught in Panama, Costa, Rica, or Mexico. “It would shut the whole thing down,” he said.
Instead, GOP politicians call for the border cartels to be declared terrorists.
GOP politicians are also silent about the many migrants who are killed on Mayorkas’ pathway. But GOP donors want more migrant consumers, renters, and workers, so GOP legislators do not try to shame the Democrats for the many deaths.
“There were two images of his treacherous journey north that he couldn’t get out of his head,” Albinson Linares from Telemundo.com wrote in January 2023 about a Venezuelan migrant named Johan Torres:
The first was how a [migrant] person who resisted a robbery in Mexico was killed with a machete; the other happened in the jungle, when he saw a man leave behind his young daughter, waist-deep in mud.
“He left her there, lying in the mud and crying. And I couldn’t do anything because I was dying of exhaustion. But I can’t forget that,” he said with tears in his eyes.
Bergquam recorded several migrants just after they were robbed and sexually assaulted on Mayorkas’ pathway to Texas:
Migrants who survive the trek to Mayorkas’ camp urge other people not to take the “hell” trip:
“This is just getting warmed up here,” Yon told Breitbart News, adding, “This right now is still a trickle compared to what’s going to happen.”
Meanwhile, he added, Republicans are doing little to stop the inflow. “I don’t see them doing anything substantial .. Nobody is really standing their ground on migration in a huge way.”
Extraction Migration
The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because it allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters.
