Biden Sends More Troops to Border in Anticipation of Migration Spike.

President Biden has defended his decision to temporarily deploy 1,500 active-duty troops to the US-Mexico border to assist border agents ahead of an expected migrant surge next week. The troops will be sent to assist the border agents, not to enforce the law. The decision comes as Title 42, a policy that allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border and blocks them from seeking asylum, is set to expire on Thursday. Critics have taken issue with the president’s decision to allow the policy to lapse without a set plan in motion.
