Title 42 pretends that migrants present a Covid contagion risk to the US. In fact, migrants have a lower rate of Covid positives than the rate in the US.

This is not a new tactic. Pretending that the “other” carries disease goes back a long way. The Chinese Exclusion Act. Nazi Germany.

Trump had “Remain in Mexico.” And he left Biden Title 42. You might call this policy “Get Lost.”

Title 42 could be canceled in a moment. It is tearing families apart. It is putting people in mortal danger. It kills people.

It is a wall.

Tear down Title 42.
