On Thursday, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article about the crisis at our southern border. For more than three years, President Biden has been complaining that he can’t do anything about the border unless Congress passes bills that fund Ukraine. He chooses to overlook the fact that on his first day in office he overturned the Executive Orders passed by President Trump that sealed the border. He also chooses to overlook the fact that he not only refused to build the wall–he sold the parts to build it for pennies on the dollar. (article here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The Federalist reports:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden has vehemently denied any blame for the years-long U.S. southern border invasion with claims that Congress, not the president, must act to defend the nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done all I can do,\u201d Biden\u00a0said\u00a0<\/a>last month on the White House lawn. \u201cJust give me the power.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said\u00a0<\/a>the same thing two weeks ago. \u201cThere is no executive action that the president can take,\u201d she said, to reinforce the border.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But now Politico is\u00a0reporting\u00a0<\/a>that the president does, in fact, recognize the authority at his disposal to address the border crisis. On Wednesday, the paper reported the administration is \u201cconsidering a string of new executive actions and federal regulations in an effort to curb migration at the U.S. southern border.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAmong the ideas under discussion include using a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act to bar migrants from seeking asylum in between U.S. ports of entry,\u201d the report read. \u201cThe administration is also discussing tying that directive to a trigger \u2014 meaning that it would only come into effect after a certain number of illegal crossings took place.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Lies about presidential powerlessness, however, have become the standard response from Democrats on the border. The number of illegal crossings has approximately\u00a0doubled\u00a0<\/a>under President Biden, with 1.7 million \u201cgotaways\u201d evading capture over the three years he\u2019s been in office. Last week, House Republicans formally\u00a0impeached\u00a0<\/a>Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to keep U.S. borders secure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt certainly is a crisis,\u201d Mayorkas\u00a0said\u00a0<\/a>on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d earlier this month, \u201cBut fundamentally, Congress is the only one who can fix it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s allies on Capitol Hill have made the same arguments. New York Rep. Dan Goldman\u00a0called\u00a0<\/a>the House impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas an example of \u201ctaking the scalp\u201d for \u201cthe MAGA base\u201d to scapegoat blame for a crisis which can \u201conly be addressed by legislation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

While Democrats continue to say this on TV, Politico reports more executive orders for border action are in the pipeline, indicating the White House believes it can indeed address the border without the need for action from Congress.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The border remains open because country-club Republicans want cheap labor and Democrats want future voters. Meanwhile, Americans are being denied benefits and being forced out of jobs by illegal immigrants who are working outside the system. We need to close the border, and we need to enforce e-verify.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
