According to The Post Millennial, this marks a turning point for the country, as the emergencies that were put in place to deal with the public health crisis will finally come to an end.
This move by President Biden marks a significant shift in the country's response to the pandemic, as the country will no longer be under a state of emergency. This change will also have a significant impact on Title 42, a measure put in place by the Trump administration in March 2020, which enabled immigration officials to expel migrants due to public health concerns quickly.
With the emergencies expiring, Title 42 will be automatically lifted, allowing migrants to enter the country once again.
This announcement has been met with mixed reactions from both sides of the political spectrum. Some see it as a step in the right direction as the country moves towards a more normal way of life. However, others are concerned about the impact this will have on immigration and the spread of the virus.

This statement from President Biden reflects the sentiment of many Americans, who have been eager to return to a sense of normalcy after more than two years of dealing with the pandemic.
The end of the COVID emergency is also expected to have a significant impact on the economy, as businesses will no longer be restricted by the public health measures that have been put in place. This will allow for a return to a more normal way of doing business, which will be a welcome relief for many entrepreneurs who have been struggling during the pandemic.

The move is welcomed by many, especially those who are concerned about how the Trump-era Title 42 was used to quickly and often summarily expel migrants. The American Immigration Council, a non-profit immigration advocacy organization, said in a statement that “we are relieved that Title 42 will no longer be used as a tool to expel people without due process.”

While the Republicans have expressed their support for the Biden Administration’s plan to end the national COVID emergency and end the Title 42 measure, some conservative voices have voiced their opposition.
Conservative politicians, media personalities, and pundits have argued that the end of Title 42 is a mistake and that the measure was necessary to protect public health. In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, former Trump administration official Stephen Miller argued that “The termination of Title 42 will create a health and security crisis at our nation’s borders. Its removal would turn the United States into a magnet for illegal immigration.”
