Bought another 2-3 months to prepare for the inevitable even-more surge.

What is Title 42 and what happens next at the border? | CNN Politics
Quote:
The future of Title 42, and the situation at the US-Mexico border, remains in limbo for now.

The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the controversial Trump-era border restriction will remain in effect while legal challenges play out, a move that ensures federal officials will be able to continue to swiftly expel migrants at US borders at least for the next several months.

The high court stepped in days before Title 42 was set to end earlier this month after an emergency appeal filed by a group of Republican-led states.

That means the public health restrictions remain in effect – for now – as the court weighs arguments from the states and responses from the Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union.
I think SCOTUS will ultimately strike down Title 42 as non-applicable. But wouldn't be surprised if the dissenting states/GOP do other legal maneuvers or use it as a negotiating chip if Biden will (belatedly) prioritize immigration reform (which he should).

The Biden administration has sent mixed messages on Title 42. It has criticized Title 42 and vowed to end its use at the border, but more recently came to rely on the policy.
:
But in October, facing mounting political pressure over a marked increase in migrants crossing the border, the administration announced it was expanding the use of Title 42 to expel Venezuelans into Mexico.

Joe, let's do Immigration reform next year. Negotiate & compromise with the GOP and come up with something. IMO pathway to citizenship is the key issue (non-Dreamers).
