All eyes on Biden as the Title 42 impact hits far beyond southern border

As Title 42, the last remaining Covid-era immigration restriction, is set to expire, the US is bracing for an influx of migrants. Migrants have been bussed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to northern cities that have declared themselves sanctuary cities. Major cities like New York, Chicago and Philadelphia are reportedly struggling to cope with the arrival of large numbers of migrants, forcing them to issue emergency declarations and demand more funding from the federal government. As immigrants continue to wait to be processed and make asylum claims, the impending crisis has put President Joe Biden under increasing political pressure from both sides of the immigration debate. Observers claim that the crisis could impact Biden's perceived level of competence, with critics drawing parallels to the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Black Americans who have long struggled with poverty and underemployment are rejecting the influx of migrants that they say would divert much needed resources and create unnecessary competition for already scarce job opportunities. All eyes are on the White House to manage the situation.
