A Democrat border county judge in Texas invited Biden to visit his region before making a decision on Title 42 and related policies.
A Democrat border county judge in Texas invited President Joe Biden to visit his region before making a decision on Title 42 and related policies. The Texas politician had largely avoided commenting on the heated border issues even though his county is one of the hardest hit by the current migration crisis.
This week, Judge Richard Cortez sent a letter to the White House inviting President Biden to visit his area and explaining that Hidalgo County is “at a unique crossroads of national security and economic considerations.” In the letter, Cortez “implored” Biden to visit the border before going along with the recent determination from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that Title 42 was no longer necessary. Title 42 allowed the U.S. government to turn back asylum seekers and migrants because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
“We bear the responsibility of welcoming, treating, and caring for these migrants even as we struggle to care for the less fortunate in our community,” Cortez wrote. “The negative consequences are expected to be real and immediate for American Citizens living in border communities across the Southwest.”
