Rep. Jared Golden
Maine Rep. Jared Golden is supporting a bill that would extend Title 42 by an extra 60 days, and require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to submit a plan to Congress on how they will address the expected surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border within 30 days.
“The Biden Administration is not currently prepared for a large increase in border crossings,” Golden said in a statement. “Ending these Title 42 authorities without a plan in place to manage the resulting influx of migrants is irresponsible and could create crisis conditions that would be dangerous for both migrants coming to America and Americans themselves.”
