President Joe Biden cheered a drop in border crossings since the end of Title 42 with a swipe at the media – as new strains in the government’s capacity to administer the surge of migrants is just beginning to come into view.
Asked over the weekend about how things were proceeding after the expiration of Title 42 authority, which ended at midnight Thursday, Biden told a group of reporters: ‘Much better than you all expected,’ with a chuckle.
He also spoke about the reduced number of crossings, which are down about 50 percent, as migrants – and smugglers who prey on their status – assess the new regulatory regime.
