Biden on Visiting The Border: 'It'd Just Be Disruptive'

ACOSTA: “It’s been three days since the end of Title 42, the pandemic-era policy that slowed the number of migrants allowed into the U.S. With Thursday’s expiration, many border communities were bracing for a surge of migrants, but, at least for now, that has not happened yet. Homeland Security officials say there were about 4,200 encounters yesterday, as they call them. That’s a big number from the day before. Yesterday’s numbers are less than half of the 10,000 seen at the U.S.-Mexico border in the days before Title 42 ended. Just minutes ago, we heard from President Biden as he completed a bike ride, and here is what he had to say about the situation down at the border.”
