Don’t Be Fooled, Biden’s New Executive Order Does Not ‘Secure the Border’ – Here’s What It Really Does

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.

Biden's executive order will go down in history as an example of presidential courage to stand up against the Republican obstructionism. /sarc .

it doesnt take a rocket scientest to figure out that there will quickly be a system where cartel mangers will give people a number and 2499 'catches' are fed in each day. The get-a-ways won't count even tho they are the majority of incoming

The Most Obvious Political Gaslighting Effort in Modern History

June 5, 2024 | Sundance | 62 Comments

There are not even enough words to describe this level of manipulative lying and trying to reframe reality.  Any person who tries to support this insufferable effort should be ridiculed and shamed immediately.

Joe Biden’s first day in office he reversed all of the border security measures President Trump had put into place – specifically, the remain in Mexico policy.  Now, with massive backlash starting to permeate the American electorate as the consequences of lawlessness are hitting hard, Joe Biden pretends he is not to blame for an unsecured border.

This is the biggest attempt at political gaslighting in modern history.

The cartels are paying the dimrats.
The dimrats are allowing millions of illegals into our country.
Those illegals will all vote democrat party.

It is win win for the dims and the cartels.

At a first glance the Biden administration proposal to shut down unofficial open border entry and set a daily limit of 2,500 illegals per day entering through official entry points
might seem to be an improvement or a reasonable compromise to some but a closer look shows it is just more smoke and mirrors.

1. An official limit of 2,500 new illegals per day x 365 days a year still equals almost 1 million new illegals a year (912,500 to be precise).

2. Who in their right mind would trust anyone in the Biden administration to actually shut down even more illegals entering through the open border?

3. Who in their right mind would trust anyone in the Biden administration to actually close the gates at official entry points every day when the count reaches 2,500?

4. Who in their right mind would believe anything anyone in the Biden administration says?

[Vaduz]

Agree

The democrats party doesn’t care how much blood they have on their hands it’s the end result that matters.

[Red Badger]

Is that #, 2500 THROUGH EACH ENTRY POINT?

If we have 10, then it’s 25000 per day!................
