“It’s preposterous that the White House claims the POTUS doesn’t have the authority to control the border.”

Can anyone cite the laws relevant to this dispute over who has the power to do what? Thanks!

I am sure there are a slew of laws on the books. Only the Executive Branch has the power to enforce the border laws as has been argued time and again, most recently with the dispute with Texas. The Executive Branch is simply choosing to ignore them, or to prioritize other powers of discretion such as asylum qualifications.
