Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, told Fox News on Tuesday that Republicans “would love to cut off all funding for everything” before discussing the best way to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
On Monday, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary hold on the end of the Trump-era immigration policy Title 42, which was scheduled to expire on Dec. 21. Title 42 is ostensibly a public health order to stop the spread of COVID-19, but it has been utilized since 2020 to expel millions of migrants who’ve crossed the southern border. A federal judge ruled last month that the government needed to end the “arbitrary and capricious” policy.
With border crossings expected to surge once the policy is lifted, Republicans have continued to hammer President Joe Biden over what they describe as his administration’s “open border policy.” During a Tuesday morning appearance on Fox & Friends First, Comer doubled down on that characterization while peddling the racist Great Replacement theory.
