  1. Title 42 suspended title 8 laws and authority use to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right was 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.

  2. Congress will not fund the 2006 act to gain operational control. He's not lied about operational control, he clearly explains it and that he does not have it. The only ones lying are on the Right.

  3. The children are not lost, they have not made contact with check up calls for a percentage of children in a period of time and the media used that percentage and multiplied it to a made up number of children. The government has no responsibility to the children after they have been resettled.
