Reinstate Title 42 and we will considering backing $10billion COVID funding: Republicans draw a red line over Biden's extra pandemic aide to avoid a huge influx of migrants in just seven weeks
'There'll have to be an amendment on Title 42 in order to move the bill,' McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters on Tuesday
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that the Covid relief bill should 'not be held hostage' to other proposals
The Biden administration announced last week that, Title 42, which is used to expel a majority of immigrants on the southern border, will expire by May 23
Department of Homeland Security officials say the expiration is likely to cause a fresh surge in border crossings

GOP Leader Mitch McConnell said that there would need to be an amendment keeping Title 42 immigration restrictions in place in order for Democrats to pass more Covid aid with 10 Republican votes.
'There'll have to be an amendment on Title 42 in order to move the bill,' McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters on Tuesday. 'We'll need to enter into some kind of agreement to process these amendments in order to go forward with the bill.'
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that the Covid relief bill should 'not be held hostage' to other proposals.
Lawmakers reached a bipartisan deal to offer $10 billion in additional Covid-19 funding on Monday. The bill funded vaccines, therapeutics and other Covid safety measures domestically, but dropped funding for fighting the pandemic abroad.
The Biden administration announced last week that the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) emergency health order, Title 42, which is used to expel a majority of immigrants on the southern border, will expire by May 23. Department of Homeland Security officials say the expiration is likely to cause a fresh surge in border crossings.
