  1. Title 42 suspends all title 8 laws and authority use to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right is using it to undermine legal asylum under 8 US code 1158. It also suspends 8 US code 1325; the misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty for crossing the border illegally. And 8 US code 1326; stiffer penalties for crossing the border. That leaves out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stops legal asylum, with few exceptions under title 42. Makes it difficult to enforce immigration laws when Republicans are fighting in court to undermine our legal enforcement. With title 42 suspending enforcement that means many immigrants recross multiple times causing apprehension numbers to be inflated. The current rate of multiple returns is about 40% of border crossers.... We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 9877,000 a 20 year high. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020. It has remained a 20 year high and increasing ever since under Trumps failed policies and Title 42. Trump and Republican plan is to stop what they consider a loophole in our asylum laws. And knowing they cannot do it in congress and have unilaterally undermined our laws and caused this crisis. Trumps child separation policy and remain in Mexico both violated US immigration law and international treaty. Those along with title 42 is what has stopped our working process and turned it into this crisis.

Trump was also snatching children from legal asylum seekers by creating his zero tolerance policy that violated immigration law, and created Remain in Mexico that is also a violation of 8 USC 1158 section 1225. The only nonsense narrative is the one the Right wing media and leadership built for it's base. Trump and republicans are doing everything to undermine legal asylum and the base has no clue what our laws are.
