Biden's Open Border Hurts Black Americans Most of All—and We Know It

What Is Title 42 And Why Is The Immigration Policy Ending? This week, Title 42 is set to expire. The COVID-era policy is the last remaining U.S. border enforcement tool to slow the flood of illegal migrants spurred by the Biden administration's negligent policies. With the sun-setting of Title 42, municipalities around the country are bracing for an onslaught of people burdening local social welfare resources, overwhelming human services infrastructure, and causing overall changes to the culture of American communities.
Sanctuary cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C., once falling over themselves to signal their virtue and welcome immigrants, are now calling for a state of emergency and demanding more money from the federal government after tens of thousands of migrants have been forced upon their social welfare programs. El Paso Immigrants wait to be processed to make asylum claims during a dust storm at a makeshift immigrant camp located between the Rio Grande and the U.S.-Mexico border fence on May 10, 2023 in El Paso, Texas.
The number of immigrants reaching the border has surged with the end of the U.S. government's Covid-era Title 42 policy, which for the past three years has allowed for the quick expulsion of irregular migrants entering the country. But resistance to importing millions of new Americans whose first act on U.S. soil was to break the law and enter illegally is coming from Black Americans, who are sick of having our fight for equity in this country appropriated by people looking for a better economic outlook.
Black Chicagoan's of the South Shore neighborhood came out in droves to reject a recent proposal to convert a public high school building into a migrant facility. With chants of "build the wall" and calling the city council to task for "making decisions about us, when none of you live here," Black American South Side residents took a stance against more crime from UN-vetted migrants, siphoning financial resources away from Black citizens, and imposing unnecessary competition for jobs.
