Democrats facing tough reelection battles have begun to openly break with President Joe Biden in recent weeks over his plan to reverse Title 42 restrictions on entry into the United States through the southern border, highlighting fears among vulnerable Democrats that the issue could turn the tide in November.

Since taking office, Biden has sought to overturn Trump-era immigration rules, placing a moratorium on the construction of the wall along the southern border and ending the highly successful “Remain in Mexico” policy, which required illegal immigrants to stay in the care of America’s southern neighbor until their asylum applications are approved.
