California approach to end of Title 42 differs from other border states

SAN DIEGO -- Just days away from the end of Title 42, hundreds more migrants are gathering at the U.S./Mexico Border in San Ysidro.

As the end of Title 42 approaches, all three border states are taking a different approach on how to address the anticipated surge of migrants.

Immigration expert Elaine Wood say she thinks California is in a "bit of wait-and-see approach."

"In Texas, the governor is going ahead and saying look, we need to have National Guard troops, we need to have public safety," Wood said.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has not announced National Guard troops will be deployed to the border -- this is a different tactic from Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Abbott announced the creation of the Texas Tactical Border Force, which will deploy National Guard members to hot spots along the border to turn back migrants trying to enter the U.S. illegally.

“Texas has the ability to secure the border ourselves. If we were acting in isolation, we would secure the border," Abbott said in a press conference Monday.

Border State Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has not yet activated the state's National Guard, but said she is prepared to if needed, during a press conference addressing her plan of attack for the end of Title 42. She said she is pressuring the federal government for more resources.
