Now, Biden Announces Border Action After Claiming His Hands Were Tied For Years
The Federalist ^ | 06/05/2024 | ARIANNA VILLARREAL

After nearly four years of doing nothing to stem the border invasion his policies welcomed, Biden signed an executive order Tuesday directly contradicting his false claim that he did not have the constitutional authority to mitigate the record numbers of illegal border crossings.

The executive order will reportedly halt asylum claims temporarily “once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 between ports of entry, with the border reopening only once that number declines to 1,500,” according to The Associated Press.

However, when Univision anchor Enrique Acevedo pressed Biden earlier this year about whether he could use his executive authority to close the southern border, he replied, “There is no guarantee that I have that power all by myself without legislation.”

Biden has reportedly allowed an unprecedented 1.7 million known “gotaways” to enter the country since he took office, leading to more than 10 million aliens illegally entering the United States under his so-called leadership. Since Biden’s inauguration in 2021, he has undermined border security more than 60 times, as The Federalist has documented. As Speaker Mike Johnson said, Biden “has manipulated the federal bureaucracy to open our borders to illegal immigrants, human trafficking, fentanyl, and potential terrorists.”

The White House said in a statement Tuesday, “President Biden believes we must secure our border.” Yet the first executive orders he signed after his inauguration included halting the border wall construction that started under former President Trump, ending restrictions on immigration from countries rife with terrorism, and expanding the “illegal” Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which invites cartels to traffick children into the U.S.

Now, as Biden tries to clean up his roundly criticized immigration record, it’s worth noting his executive order will not mitigate the crisis. The order still allows thousands of migrants to illegally cross the border, as many as 2,500 per day. Another nearly half-million migrants could illegally enter the country before November without the federal government taking any action.

It’s no surprise that after years of standing idly by, Biden is finally taking action just months before the 2024 election. His approval rating has dropped to 38.3 percent, while Americans continually cite immigration as the “most important problem facing the U.S.

The president is also on the cusp of a debate with former President Donald Trump, the 2024 front-runner who curbed the flow of illegal immigration through policies such as “Remain in Mexico” and is sure to grill Biden on his disastrous handling of the border.

Biden isn’t going to stop one illegal alien criminal from soaking their toes in the Rio Grande. Not one. Because of his retarded butt, we’ve already got 18 million illegal aliens killing, raiding and pillaging in our country.

“It’s all BS”

I don’t think it really matters. Both sides are dug in, and I really don’t think there are many undecideds.

Brain dead Democrat voters:
“Biden’s doing something about the border, and Trump is a convicted felon. I know who I’m voting for!”

Of course his hands were tied. His handlers tell him what to do and always have. Remember Odumbo’s words? “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” They can’t let him be in charge of ANYTHING.

Biden is a master at lying and hiding behind smoke and mirrors:

In an internal memo to ICE— The ERO Executive Associate Director says that CBP and ERO will not question illegal immigrants who cross the southern border and are processed for expedited removal while the limitation is in effect regarding their fear of return...

“If a noncitizen subject to the Presidential Proclamation is processed for expedited removal and manifests fear or an intention to apply for asylum or related protection while detained in ICE custody, the non-citizen must be referred to USCIS…”

One source saying, “In other words nothing has changed…”

Transparent. This administration puts on a show of changing when it catches enough flack over its stupidity but it doesn’t ever really change its heading. Gee, it sounds just like the Obama days.

Funny how Democrats always change around election time.

Jon Tester votes liberal in the senate and runs as a conservative.

Halting “asylum claims” after only 2500 a day. Biden doesn’t even say the Boeder Patrol is to stop PEOPLE from continuing to flood in — they will just stop creating a farcical paper trail.

Biden is busy blaming Trump and Republicans for the chaos at the border - and 20 million (figure I read yesterday) illegals who have crossed over.

“On his FIRST day in office, Biden signed an executive order to defund the wall and to terminate the border emergency.

He also froze deportations that day, then eliminated the Remain In Mexico policy.”

Trump’s Response:

“The truth is that Joe Biden’s Executive Order won’t STOP the invasion—it will make the invasion WORSE.

We recently learned, Biden is secretly granting mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of these illegal aliens, along with welfare, government benefits, work permits, and jobs.”

Biden is also flying tens of thousands of illegals into the American heartland in the middle of the night to out-of-the-way airports. Gotta turn those red states blue...

Biden isn’t going to fix anything at the border. For one thing, it is too late, for another, Biden isn’t the one in charge. There are several articles today, about how top Democrats are saying that they have noticed a serious decline in Biden’s mental capabilities.

Who do you think they are preparing to bring on? Keep reminding people that Obama started the chaos and he is still the man behind the curtain. Another Obama won’t change anything.

Both sides are dug in...

The R's may be "dug in" but we learned long ago that trench warfare is a costly and ineffective way to win a war.

Why are we not hearing about the misdirection, intentional weakness and even deceit in Joe's most recent border action loud and clear 24/7 from R members of congress, instead of just on pages such as this and conservative radio?

Kamala Harris is in the process that is my opinion.
Makes a lot of firsts if it happens.
