President Joe Biden has pulled 65 pending Trump administration executive orders, many of which deal with key national security and immigration matters.
Several of the withdrawals strike down orders that would protect American jobs by tightening immigration restrictions and eliminate proposed oversight regulations on how China-backed Confucius Institutes operate on campus. The Biden administration selectively cut the orders, as some pending Trump administration actions remain under review.
Biden withdrew one Department of Homeland Security regulation that would bar foreign nationals with deportation orders from working. Under current law, outgoing aliens released from custody can still seek legal employment. The proposed—and now withdrawn—Trump executive order would increase protections for American workers by striking down such an expansive employment policy.
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas) blasted Biden's rollback on Trump-era regulations as "disheartening" and "disingenuous."
"President Biden's approach to immigration is both disheartening and predictable given the hypocrisy of the left. In less than one month, the Biden administration has steamrolled commonsense immigration policies simply because they were tied to President Trump," Jackson said. "Clearly, Democrats are not serious about working across the aisle. Disingenuous attempts to legislate in a bipartisan manner are bad for effective policymaking and, in turn, for the American people."
Robert Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, said the withdrawal signals radicalism in Biden's coming immigration agenda and that such reversals harm both the country’s security and economy.
"What is very apparent is that there is nothing moderate about the direction of immigration policy that the Biden administration, through his various political appointees, is pursuing," Law said. "If there's any immigration regulation or policy that the Trump administration approved that should be carried on, you would think it would be something like this."
The Biden administration struck down another proposed immigration order that would have eliminated the ability of certain visa holders to seek employment.
These withdrawals—which came without any congressional consultation—also come as the Biden administration and Democrats upend other legislative actions taken to secure the border. On Thursday, the Biden administration rescinded the national emergency proclamation used by the Trump White House to allot funding to construct the southern border wall.
Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.) said that such actions hurt the American economy and give illegal immigrants "privileged treatment."
"America's labor market is already tight and thanks to Biden, U.S. citizens now have to compete with a flood of illegal immigrants," said Banks. "Stimulus checks, vaccines, no threat of deportation—it's hard to see what Biden's actual voters get that illegal immigrants don't, aside from income taxes. The only way this sort of privileged treatment makes sense is if Biden is counting on their help in 2024."
Biden also reversed an order that would mandate the disclosure of any agreement made between American schools and Confucius Institutes. Operated by Chinese Communist Party-affiliated entities, Confucius Institutes peddle Chinese influence and monitor Chinese students on U.S. campuses. Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo designated the Confucius Institute as a "foreign mission" for the Communist Party last year. Biden's reversal of the pending order would alleviate pressure and accountability on universities and schools that have signed contracts to welcome the institutes on campus.
Republicans blasted the national security implications of the reversal. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.) warned that China sees American universities as a chief battlefront with Beijing, and the country's influence requires a harder look rather than a rollback in oversight.
"American universities are on the frontline of our competition with the Chinese Communist Party," Gallagher told the Washington Free Beacon. "At a time when the CCP is seeking more avenues than ever to influence the direction of American China policy, we should be doing everything possible to shine light on its funding arrangements here in the U.S."
Rep. Joe Wilson (R., S.C.) warned China's "foreign propaganda" threatens American education, and plans to reintroduce an act aimed at mitigating the Biden reversal’s kowtow to Confucius Institutes.
"American students and families deserve to know the source of their education, especially when the source is a foreign government," Wilson said. "Confucius Institutes at universities and subsidiary partnerships with K-12 schools often do not have their contracts or funding amounts publicly disclosed. Reversing this proposed rule allows these foreign propaganda missions to continue operating in the dark and abandons accountability for universities to report on these partnerships."
The White House did not return a request for comment.
During the late 1980’s the biggest employer in all of southern Ohio had 20,000 workers strong. We aren’t even talking the synergy of indirect jobs created by this massive industrial plant. I was proud to work alongside that teaming bustle. There are 25,600 “migrants” to be released into Texas soon. Think about that synergy! https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/14/bidens-dhs-release-25-6k-migrants-texas-california-communities/
There won’t be any jobs for them, unskilled and undocumented.
They will have to either go back home, become criminals or starve.........................
Technology is doing away with whole classes of work. From the end of WWII to about 1973 a blue collar worker had a chance to retire well on savings, defined benefit retirement programs and Social Security was gravy. But in the future, blue collar jobs will barely keep most people fed, let alone allow you to raise a family and buy a home. So we are going to let millions of poorly educated people who are encouraged not integrate into society live off the dole and absorb all the blue collar jobs?
Isn’t there a Constitutional Court somewhere that will PROHIBIT BIDEN from overturning Trump EOs?
What jobs?
There won’t be any.........................
Not in this dimension.................
And he was paranoid as hell so is joe.
The overly fertile jihadis are rejoicing - now they can finish the work that they started in 2009 but had to stop in 2017.
Designing, building and maintaining technology. (That which is not designed, built and maintained from a foreign country.)
“In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an aeroplane they had to make four.”

My previous story never had a happy ending. Biden’s best buddy Howard “Christians are the evil of the world” Metzenbaum redefined those same required 10 year vesting defined benefit retirement program to 5 years. That was the beginning of the death of those retirement programs and a shedding of employees. You don’t think the old commie didn’t know what he was doing?
You can't blame Biden for this. He's doing exactly what Trump did to his predecessor's EOs.
You can't run a country on EOs.
0 did as much as he could with EOs, Trump undid Homobama's EOs with his EOs, and now, Jopedo is undoing Trumps EOs with EOs of his own.
Congress should put a stop to this but they are too busy stealing every nickel they can find to complain.
America's governing needs a major overhaul and realignment of governmental responsibilities.
Reminder: The majority of Republicans in Congress voted for this on January 6th.
It is far more sinister than that. I am thinking demonic influence in order to destroy the biggest platform for the Gospel on earth: the United States.
So the Gospel is REALLY important.
The Communist Purge Is Growing Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
This is a massive Democrat demographic gerrymander to destroy white Judeo-Christian America.
