Mexican Border in Chaos as Title 42 Ends

CIS analyst Todd Bensman is live at the border in Matamoros, Mexico at a massive migrant camp. He has been watching thousands of migrants flooding into the U.S. all day; they are not waiting for the end of Title 42. Mexican immigration officials on the ground are powerless to do anything.

Mexican immigration’s power of persuasion is about as persuasive as is the American Title 42 expulsion threat and, I predict, its coming “Title 8” replacement. Eventually, Venezuelans blow them off and cross… pic.twitter.com/iKGXOmjLiA

Tension in Matamoros between throngs of fully prepared border crossers and unarmed Mexican immigration officers who I believe were ordered to make a fake losing show of blocking access to the river. All are going one way or another because, they attest, Biden is letting them in. pic.twitter.com/6omU3VDeaT

Dagistan, Belarus, and Russia are all represented here at this Matamoros Mexico hotel. Along with many Kyrgyzstanis. All granted “humanitarian parole” appointments in two weeks using the CBP One app. On their merry ways to Philly, Denver, and LA. pic.twitter.com/M5uTqMeLiO

Cubans in a huge Matamoros Mexico camp last night told me they all will immediately cross the Rio Grande illegally the second they hear – on a regular newscast – that the Americans are letting anyone in after Title 42 ends Thursday. pic.twitter.com/f0penfxuwo
