Virginia Republican Governor Glenn R. Youngkin sounded off Monday on the fact the Title 42 immigration measure will be removed later this week.
"[W]e have got to extend Title 42. But this is not a holistic solution. This catastrophic issue at the border has got to result in a decision to secure the border," he said.the predicted number of migrants crossing the border to equate to the entire population of his state.
"We had a record number of overdoses in Virginia and 76% of them came from fentanyl. And we know where the fentanyl comes from: It's time to act. We've got to get Washington to stop sitting on their hands and secure our border," he said."We have just an extraordinary number of young people who are dying from fentanyl. We are paying for Narcan to be available across the Commonwealth. We're training people. We're rolling out a statewide communication program.
"I just can't understand how this is a partisan issue at all. There is a crisis at the border. It's inhumane what's happening... There should be no question in anyone's mind that what's happening at the border is wrong, and we've got to stop it," he added.He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
