The expected surge of migrants following the expiration of Title 42 has not materialized as predicted, leading to accusations of political theater from both parties. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams is struggling to house migrants, even considering using school gymnasiums and displacing homeless veterans from hotels. Reports from El Paso indicate that many migrants were moved to military bases prior to media arrivals.

Following the expiration of Title 42, the hosts observe live border cameras in El Paso and other crossings, noting a surprising lack of the "tsunami" of migrants predicted by mainstream media. They review reports of the Texas National Guard successfully turning back groups of migrants at the Rio Grande.

The expiration of Title 42 has led to a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, though foreign media reports suggest the Biden administration is actually implementing stricter "Title 8" enforcement. France 24 coverage highlights Texas State Police installing razor wire and migrants being told they must register in other countries before seeking U.S. asylum. The hosts suggest the Biden administration is attempting to "get points on the board" by appearing tougher on illegal crossings.

The Biden administration is utilizing the "CBP One" mobile app as the primary portal for migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. The app has been criticized for frequent glitches, including 504 gateway timeout errors and facial recognition failures for individuals with darker complexions. Critics argue the app is a tool to facilitate a constant flow of labor into the country to satisfy banking interests.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent three busloads of migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris's residence in Washington, D.C., on Christmas Eve.
