(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Department of Homeland Security flew illegal immigrants from the northern border to the southern border to expel them under Title 42, a public health expulsion order that was implemented by Donald Trump.
Last year, the Biden administration decided to end Title 42 because it was one of the laws that prevented them from filling the United States with illegal immigrants. That plan was sidetracked when the Supreme Court decided to keep Title 42.
Biden didn’t like the decision and expressed his disdain for the policy earlier this year.
“I wanted to make sure that I knew what the outcome or at least the near outcome was on Title 42 before I went down, we don’t have that yet, so I had to operate — I don’t like Title 42,” he said.
“But it’s the law and now we have to operate within it. My prediction is… Title 42 is going to go away before the end of the year in terms of the Supreme Court, my prediction.”
A U.S. government official familiar with the matter told the Daily Caller that the flights, which are operated by contractor World Atlantic Airlines, also began with a program to move Border Patrol agents from the U.S.-Mexico border to the Canadian border to help with the surge. The source added, however, that the Title 42 flights have been costly, with each costing between $150,000 and $200,000, meaning they are not likely to continue.
On Tuesday, the northern border’s second Title 42 flight departed Plattsburgh, N.Y., for El Paso, Texas, the memo stated. The Daily Caller reported that the flights coincide with a surge in illegal immigration at the northern border, where Border Patrol saw a roughly 846% increase in apprehensions.
According to the email, the Tuesday flight carried Mexicans who crossed the U.S. border illegally from Canada. Mexicans don’t need to have a visa to fly to Canada. The only thing they need to have is an Electronic Travel Authorization, which costs seven Canadian dollars.
