While President Joe Biden continues his dereliction of duty to secure the borders of the United States and defend the sovereignty of the country, his administration is desperately and dishonestly trying to pin the problem on Republicans.
As millions of illegal immigrants continue to pour into the country, the White House claims President Biden has already offered a solution.
"The President has repeatedly said that the system, the immigration system is broken. He has said that on day one, from day one, when he put forward his first piece of legislation. His first big policy was to deal on the border. And it's been three years. We haven't seen any action. We're glad to see that there's conversation at the Senate," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insists from the podium. "I'm just repeating myself here over and over again. He put forward a comprehensive immigration policy to Congress to deal with that broken system that has been around for decades."
There's that word. "Comprehensive" is just code or politician lingo for mass amnesty and lack of real border security. Not to mention the current and unprecedented flow as a result of Biden's open border policies has not "been around for decades."
In conversations and negotiations in Washington, D.C., on the issue, Biden and Democrats are refusing to simply stop or blunt the flow. They insist on a massive, comprehensive piece of legislation to deal with illegal immigration issues separate from the immediate crisis.
But does Biden really need Congress for this specific problem? The answer is no. Biden could fix this by resigning dozens of border security and asylum executive orders he rescinded from the Trump administration.
"You have clearly undermined America's sovereignty and security by ending the Remain in Mexico policy, reinstating catch-and-release, suspending asylum cooperative agreements with other nations, ignoring existing restraints on the abuse of parole, and halting border wall construction. You also undermined Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) core mission, and even used a smartphone app to facilitate the release of border crossers into the United States," House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote in a recent letter to Biden.
"I urge you to immediately take executive actions available to you under existing immigration laws to stem the record tide of illegal immigration," he continued. "I also urge you to utilize Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to regain operational control of the border. That provision empowers the President to 'suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate' if the President 'finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.'"
As illegal immigration becomes the top concern among voters ahead of a presidential election, Biden would score political points for taking action. Of course, he still refuses to do these things. They're available to him with the stroke of a pen.
Instead, Biden falls back on the scam that a "comprehensive" bill is the only way to fix the current problem. It's just not true.
