Congresswoman, thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. you visited the border back in march to make your own assessment of the situation. are you against lifting 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 its been used in very, very rare circumstances. it was not appropriately put into place. and frankly, it crea...
