Thank goodness, after fumbling border security for almost his entire administration, President Joe Biden is finally ready to take control and protect Americans.
Well, kind of. And only because he’s desperately trying to improve his image before the November election.
The Biden administration has had an infamously bad border, allowing millions to cross illegally into the country since he took office.
Worse yet, the massive issue is entirely his fault as when he first took office in 2021, he undid nearly everything that former President Donald Trump had done to secure the southern border.
So after millions of illegal immigrants poured over our border under his watch, on Tuesday he finally signed an executive order to handle the border issue.
Well, again, not really.
What President Biden signed on Tuesday shuts down asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters tops 2,500 between official ports of entry, according to NBC News. But it’s far too little, and far too late.
He talked big talk whenever appearing before news reporters, proudly proclaiming that “The border is not a political issue to be weaponized.”
But the weaponization of the border is exactly what this order is really all about. Biden is trying to turn an obvious weakness for the president into a projection of strength for American voters Democrats hope are gullible enough to be fooled by it.
What it really does is give Biden a Band-Aid on the bleeding wound his illegal immigration policies have caused to his re-election campaign.
While the executive order and what the senile politician says certainly paints a picture that it will solve the issue of border security, everyone who is capable of basic thought processes has already seen through this desperate ploy for approval.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed Biden for waiting so long before taking any measure to tackle the issue, deciding to only act when it benefited his image.
“This is like turning a garden hose on a five-alarm fire, and the American people are not fools. They know that this play is too little too late,” the long-time senator said.
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz had similar sentiments on the matter, noting how the United States is “facing the worst illegal immigration our nation has ever seen.”
And he blamed Biden squarely for the problem.
“When Joe Biden came into office, he inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years. All he had to do was nothing,” Cruz added.
“But instead, he deliberately broke the system.”
House Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, a Republican from Lousiana, called out Biden for claiming that he’s done “all [he] can do.”
“He was asked why he wouldn’t use his extensive executive order to address the border catastrophe that he created and 126 days ago he looked into the camera and said ‘I’m out of options, I’ve done all I can do.'”
Of course, now that the election is coming up, Biden appears to have more options on what he can do.
It’s abundantly clear that Biden is only issuing this weak executive order for the sake of saving face.
He has meticulously crafted the disaster that pushed Americans to the edge and is now attempting to do the bare minimum to cash in on some quick approval points.
The country will see in November if it works.

And that is only if it is enforced - like all the others that are not enforced.
Well of course it doesn’t. It wasn’t meant to, and people like you and me can see that. Let’s hope minions across the USA can see that as well.
Let’s go brandon,
POS

We’re not worried about a new civil war in the US but being attacked by all those military age men coming across our border and forming armies themselves.
Secure the Border? The Ukies have deployed mines on their border with Romania, Hungary, etc…to stop the huge flow of military aged Ukie males leaving Ukraine….see video, not clear how many draft dodgers have been killed.

One thing is clear, walls are expensive, and work. Minefields are much more cheaper but much more effective. How much more Evil will be allowed to happen?
Is Biden losing his mind? Loses track of thoughts, speech is defective;
cannot be heard, does not respond; defers to staff; seems “out of it”

Even in the highly unlikely event that they are effective, people have to wonder why it took over 3 years to enact. He could have issued an executive order anytime after he illegitimately took office.
“What President Biden signed on Tuesday shuts down asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters tops 2,500 between official ports of entry..”
‘Shuts down asylum requests’
‘AFTER daily encounters of 2500”
This is the executive ‘action’ of someone who doesn’t want a remedy to the illegal invasion. Plus it’s WAY the hell too late after the millions he’s allowed (encouraged) to arrive.
Apparently his handlers won’t budge on illegal entry no matter how bad it gets.
Somebody in his entourage had finally realized they are loosing the election and something has to be done.
I think it is too little too late!
How much does Ukraine get?
This actually shows the asylum folly.
Why 2,500?
If there are masses of people who desperately need asylum, by being massacred in Mexico, they all should be taken in.
If they do not need the asylum, then why not stop ALL of them?
*****
Key phrase.....does nothing to address those not using the "official" ports of entry.
Seems obvious that Biden’s intent is to let in the same number of people, just without the farcical asylum requests.
Even if it is enforced the number is still way too high. Let’s hear what the Border Czar has to say about Biden’s proposed executive order.
2,500 times 365 (days in a year) equal 910,000 in a year.
right - its a farce to be swallowed by the weak-minded and shallow.
500,000 was for the time from now until Biden’ s 1st term ends, not a year. With his second term, there will be no limit to the number allowed to cross
