Title 42 will remain in effect for the time being. Congressional District 2 representative Yvette Herrell says it's been vital towards keeping Americans safe. Herrell said, "The communities need it, the Border Patrol needs it. I mean, this is a great first step. This week is huge for our communities and law enforcement. It allows the Border Patrol to do a quick process on the border for those coming here illegally." Her democrat counterparts disagree. In November, Gabe Vasquez is one of two Democrats looking to run for Herrell's seat in Congress.Vasquez said, "Title 42 was a short-term solution to a health crisis, and it was never meant as a long-term solution to immigration or border control. We do have very extreme members of the Republican Party like representative Yvette Herrell, who ideologically refused to sit at the table with Democrats to find the solutions to some of the most complicated issues in our country, like immigration." We also spoke with Dr. Darshan Patel, the other democrat candidate in that race.Patel said title 42 is not a solution to our country's border problems. He also believes upholding title 42 was not the right decision and that democrats and republicans need to find a solution together. "We're using Title 42 as a wedge to separate our communities rather than bringing us together because immigration reform is a bipartisan issue. If the Republicans and Yvette Herrell are serious about addressing our border issues, they would come to the table with Democrats and pursue bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform," Patel said.Herrell believes Title 42 is vital for restoring our economy and that it should stay in place for as long as possible.
