Bob Men\u00e9ndez (D-N.J.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has led the charge for Democrats critical of the administration\u2019s plans for the end of Title 42, most recently hitting the White House\u2019s deployment of 1,500 active-duty troops to support border officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden Administration\u2019s militarization of the border is unacceptable. There is already a humanitarian crisis in the Western Hemisphere, and deploying military personnel only signals that migrants are a threat that require our nation\u2019s troops to contain. Nothing could be further from the truth,\u201d Men\u00e9ndez said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats also took umbrage at the announcement, which they compared to former President Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to border security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe condemned Trump for doing the same thing. Biden shouldn\u2019t follow his lead and move forward with these plans,\u201d tweeted Rep. Jes\u00fas \u201cChuy\u201d Garc\u00eda (D-Ill.).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMilitary deployment isn\u2019t a replacement for meaningful immigration reform.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But Men\u00e9ndez also took the opportunity to pan President Biden\u2019s overall management of border and immigration policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Administration has had over two years to plan for the eventual end of this Trump-era policy in a way that does not compromise our values as a country. I have offered them a strategic and comprehensive plan, which they have largely ignored. Trying to score political points or intimidate migrants by sending the military to the border caters to the Republican Party\u2019s xenophobic attacks on our asylum system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Men\u00e9ndez\u2019s broadside against the White House was not his first in recent weeks. New Jersey\u2019s senior senator publicly said in March he suspected outgoing Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice had pitched an idea to reinstate family detention, angering the White House.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>And throughout the Biden era, Men\u00e9ndez has led gripes from Democrats on Capitol Hill and in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) about not being consulted prior to major immigration and border announcements.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Men\u00e9ndez published a regional migration proposal that would rely mainly on executive action to shift from deterrent policies, such as Title 42, to a Western Hemisphere approach to channeling migrants via legal pathways.<\/p>\n<p>Weeks later, the administration unveiled a plan with a similar international focus, but which kept some deterrent elements for border enforcement, including the application of five-year bars from reentry for migrants removed at the border.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>While the two plans both share a hemispheric vision and contrast starkly with a hawkish border bill proposed by Republicans in the House, that common ground has not healed the rifts caused in part by the Biden administration\u2019s focus on deterrence over its first two years.<\/p>\n<p>A Democratic congressional aide told The Hill that much of the anger against the administration stems from officials taking \u201cfar-reaching decisions\u201d and using Trump-era deterrence policies without first consulting the CHC.<\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats have been caught between the administration\u2019s decidedly centrist approach to the border \u2014 critics have often referred to it as \u201cTrump light\u201d \u2014  and the progressive stance sought by Men\u00e9ndez.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIdeally, we want the White House and the head of the Senate [Foreign Relations Committee] \u2014 Bob Men\u00e9ndez is a powerful person, he\u2019s got a lot of experience, and I think the White House needs to take every step to make sure he\u2019s informed about decisions,\u201d said Rep. Henry Cu\u00e9llar (D-Texas).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, ideally, they need to be on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some CHC members say the administration\u2019s communication on immigration plans has improved.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cSince the CHC last raised the issue of consultation with the administration, a select group of members have had direct engagement with administration officials regarding their concerns and ideas around border and migration policies,\u201d said a caucus member with knowledge of the group\u2019s conversations with the administration.<\/p>\n<p>And there is a diversity of thought on the administration\u2019s plan within the CHC.<\/p>\n<p>Cu\u00e9llar, for instance, lauded both the administration\u2019s proposal to impose five-year bars on migrants, and the one to interview migrants abroad to help them find legal pathways to enter the United States.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe administration is finally doing some things that some of us have been pushing. I know some of the progressives don\u2019t like it, but [the administration is] doing some of the processing abroad, so [migrants] can apply from abroad to see if they qualify for asylum or not, [stationing] asylum officers inside the Border Patrol stations, agreements that they\u2019ve done with Panama, Colombia and the U.S. to try to stop some people at the Darien Gap,\u201d Cu\u00e9llar said.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Democrats of all s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>es will face pressures to align behind the administration\u2019s plans, as the battle lines on immigration for 2024 are defined in the preamble to Title 42\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I see the administration trying to do is recognize that we\u2019re at a point in time where, globally as well as hemispherically, there are very large, significant flows, and we want to remain and be a country of protection and a country of immigration,\u201d said Doris Meissner, who ran the Immigration and Naturalization Service under former President Clinton and how heads the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Meissner added that the real challenge for the administration is organizing those flows and creating rules \u201cthat discourage and remove people, or take some people back home who don\u2019t qualify, whereas what the GOP bills are all trying to do is basically say, \u2018These are not people who should be coming to the US. How do we stop it?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fears over the end of Title 42 are beginning to make waves in the Arizona 2024 Senate race, for instance, where Rep. Ruben Gallego (D) is running for independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema, who left the Democratic Party in December, has not yet announced whether she\u2019s running for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema and GOP Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.) on Thursday unveiled a new version of a bill to extend Title 42-like powers for border officials, though not based on a public health law.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Gallego called on Biden and top administration officials to make transparent the details of the troop deployment to the border.<\/p>\n<p>But Gallego sided with Biden\u2019s decision, saying the deployment is \u201cneeded to alleviate some of the burdens our border communities on the frontlines are expected to face, so long as those personnel are not engaged in law enforcement activities consistent with federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Texas, where border Democrats have often butted heads with immigration progressives as their districts bear more of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> costs of admitting large groups of migrants, there are also early signs of party unity.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Cu\u00e9llar nor Rep. Vicente Gonz\u00e1lez (D-Texas) say they\u2019re likely to support the House GOP proposal, which could clear the chamber on Republican votes alone.<\/p>\n<p>And Cu\u00e9llar said Biden\u2019s approach is a viable electoral platform for Democrats to win on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans are basically saying, \u2018Don\u2019t let anybody in the border. Build a border wall, and don\u2019t let anybody in,&#8217;\u201d Cu\u00e9llar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats can have the right message, that follows something like this: \u2018We\u2019re strong on border security. We want to see order at the border, but there\u2019ll be respectful of immigrant families, the right to asylum, legitimate asylum.\u2019 I think that resonates better with the border,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I mean, the answer is yes, we can win that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
