A federal district court rebuffed a Biden administration n attempt to lift the Title 42 order barring noncitizen admissions into the United States.  An appeal is pending.  Stephen Yale-Loehr responds to the opponents of lifting the Title 42 order:  Ending Title 42 won’t cause immigration mayhem — It will restore order.  The punch lines:

“[T]he fact remains that under Title 42, most people who arrive at our border fleeing violence and persecution can’t even apply for safe haven. At the urging of more than 20 states, a federal judge has temporarily stopped the Biden administration from ending Title 42. States should not turn a public health and humanitarian issue into a political football. We have the capacity as a country to move asylum cases through the legal system in an orderly way — and a moral and legal imperative to do so.”
