Washington Times opinion editor Charlie Hurt warned that lifting Title 42 could create a historic invasion at the border Friday on "The Ingraham Angle."

CHARLIE HURT: The decision by the administration to lift this Title 42, you talk to Border Patrol agents and they will tell you that they're expecting a surge at the border this summer that could top 250,000 illegals each month, which would be obviously an historic invasion at the border. But I think the biggest reason why it's so important for Republicans to begin talking about this now is they should talk about it before the election. They should make the election about this issue so that when they win in November, they will have a greater mandate, an important mandate.

I know this. This is an issue that is not just a Republican issue. This is an issue that matters to Republican voters, but also to Democrat voters.

It's not a controversial issue.
