title 42 tonight? no, i think that title 42 has actually been extremely unhelpful over the last several years. it was never meant to be used as an immigration tool, immigration policy. it is a public health policy. and it s been used in very, very rare circumstances. it was not appropriately put into place. and frankly, it created even more chaos at the border because, instead of processing people through in a legitimate way, it actually made it so that we just removed people, but they would come back over the border again. so most of the immigrants that were apprehended at the border were people who had tried to come in multiple times. so i believe title 42 should be lifted and we need to put in place orderly legal pathways, ways for people to continue to come into the country. are you ok with the chaos that we are seeing at the border right now? well, i don t think. look, i think that what is
