For Immediate Release
BOTH WAYS BETO FLIP-FLOPPED ON TITLE 42 IN JUST FOUR DAYS!
“On Friday, Beto O’Rourke said he supported ending Title 42. Today, he says he does not support ending Title 42. Beto continues to take different positions on issues depending on which part of the state he happens to be in. ‘Both Ways Beto’ strikes again!” – Mark Miner, Communications Director
TODAY IN MCALLEN: O’Rourke Said He Did Not Want The Biden Administration To End Title 42. “Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke knocked the Biden administration for failing to give border communities a plan for dealing with the number of migrants at their doorstep before saying he’ll end the pandemic-era emergency health order that allows federal officials to turn people away at the border next month. ‘It does not make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,’ O’Rourke said in an interview with The Texas Tribune on Tuesday. ‘I have yet to hear a plan from the Biden administration to address the dynamic we will have on the border once Title 42 ends.’” (James Barragán, “Beto O’Rourke Knocks Biden For Ending Title 42 Without A Plan To Deal With Influx Of Migrants,” Texas Tribune, 4/12/22)
LAST FRIDAY IN SAN ANTONIO: O’Rourke Said He Supported Ending Title 42. SVITEK TWEET: “Caught up with [Beto O’Rourke] today in San Antonio about the end of Title 42, which he’s called for. He reiterated his argument/reasoning that ‘beyond not being honest to the law,’ Title 42 is ‘creating more chaos at the border’ by leading to more repeat crossing attempts.” (Twitter.com, 4/8/22)
