Biden still planning on Executive Action at the Southern Border

[gwg77]

Biden has been talking about taking Executive Action at the southern border since the first week in February. This is what a failed administration looks like.

President Biden is planning executive action that would allow him to shut down the US-Mexico border once the number of migrant crossings reaches 4,000 per day, a source close to the White House told The Post Wednesday.

The order would match a provision in the bipartisan border bill that failed to pass the Senate in February, which gave the president authority to expel migrants when border crossings reached the same daily average.

The legislative proposal would have given the homeland security secretary discretionary authority to carry out removals — but would have made deportations mandatory when illegal entries surpassed 5,000 per day over a one-week period.

The bill allowed for the suspension of that authority two weeks after the seven-day average falls to 75% of those levels.

A federal government source confirmed to The Post that an executive order to limit entries was coming, though it was unclear when it would be announced.

The White House declined to comment.

In April, southwestern border authorities stopped an average of 5,990 migrants per day, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — a figure which does not include so-called “gotaways” who escaped detection and arrest.

Traditionally, the number of border crossing dips in the summer months, with migrants less inclined to try and enter the US illegally in the intense heat. However, last year, the average number of border crossers encountered per day rose from 4,819 in June to 5,919 in July to 7,515 in August to 8,991 in September.

The US Border Patrol currently has more than 10,000 migrants in custody nationwide, according to internal CBP data exclusively obtained by The Post.

Five Border Patrol sectors have exceeded their migrant holding capacity, with the San Diego region keeping 1,675 migrants in facilities that can only hold a total of 1,000 individuals.

A spokeswoman for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — who has repeatedly called on Biden to take action on the border — said the executive order would “prove” the president “doesn’t need Congress to pass legislation to take action on the border.”

In January, Biden insisted that lawmakers had to approve the border bill before he could take further action to limit illegal immigration, telling reporters he had “done all I can do.”

“Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I got into office,” he said at the time. “Give me the Border Patrol, give me the people, the judges — give me the people who can stop this and make it work right.”

However, the president has changed his tune since public polling has consistently shown that he faces an uphill battle for re-election in November, with illegal immigration and enhanced border enforcement ranked as a top concern for voters.

The administration recently introduced new restrictions for asylum interviews taking place at the southern border to allow officers to quickly remove migrants who don’t have a “credible fear” of returning to their home country from the US.

“We’re examining whether or not I have that power,” Biden, 81, told Univision’s Enrique Acevedo last month of another order reportedly under consideration that would raise the “credible fear standard” for asylum seekers.

The president had also mulled executive action to ban migrants from being granted asylum if they cross the border illegally between ports of entry — and remove others at designated entries when crossings met an unannounced threshold, Politico reported in February.

Meanwhile, congressional Democrats have shifted their own border messaging.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is also considering resurrecting the failed border legislation, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Post.

In February, the bill came up short of the 60-vote filibuster threshold by 11 votes — five of whom were Democrats.

“The status quo cannot continue,” Schumer said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “The only way we’ll solve this issue is with real, bipartisan action, not partisan talk.”

“Apparently it’s time to give the commander-in-chief kudos on his handling of a crisis that still lets nearly 5,000 people cross our border illegally in a day,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said wryly in his own floor speech.

“Of course, President Biden does have the authority he needs to start rapidly undoing the damage of the historic crisis that unfolded on his watch,” added McConnell, who voted against the Senate border bill.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), who also voted against the bill, called the move “a cheap election year ploy” since “Biden has lost all credibility on the border.”

“Democrats have completely failed on the issue for the past three and a half years and will have to own that failure in front of American voters,” Schmitt told The Post.

“Chuck Schumer should spend his time convincing Biden to reinstate the successful Trump policies Biden reversed like Remain in Mexico that created a 45-year low in illegal immigration,” he added, referencing the levels of Border Patrol arrests in 2017.

Axios first reported on Schumer discussed bringing the border bill back to the floor during a Senate Democratic caucus lunch meeting last week.

“Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats already have a House-backed bill that has bipartisan support which will solve the southern border catastrophe engineered by the Biden Administration, but they’re letting it collect dust in the Senate,” Johnson also told The Post in a statement.

“The End the Border Catastrophe Act, which includes core components of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, would institute Remain in Mexico, reform the parole and asylum laws, and build the border wall,” Johnson added.

On Friday, the campaign arm for House Democrats also released a memo encouraging members to go “on the offensive” against Republicans “who joined [former President Donald] Trump in killing a bipartisan border deal so that they could campaign on the border.”

Trump, 77, has promised to roll out the “largest mass deportation effort” in US history if he wins election to another term Nov. 5, removing “nearly 20 million” illegal immigrants who they say are currently in the US.

By October, more than 8 million migrants are expected to be living illegally in the US, according to a court docket of asylum cases involving non-citizens released into the interior by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

- Biden directly and solely caused the border disaster
- He and his administration LIED about and ignored it for three years
- Suddenly one day he admits there is a border disaster... and proceeds to blame Obama
- Continues to LIE and claim there's nothing he can do by his little old self
- Oops, suddenly now he CAN do something about it

Did he really blame Obama and not Trump?

We're at the point the American people would be more or less okay with rounding many up and sending them away. At the least, young violent ones acting in criminal ways.

Yup. "President Joe Biden said that the southern border hasn’t been secure for the “last 10 years,” a response he gave before addressing a bipartisan group of mayors at the White House on Friday."

Ten years ago... Barack Obama was President

President Joseph R. Biden Jr. set forth an ambitious immigration agenda in the early days of the Biden-Harris administration, committing both to reverse harmful policies implemented by the Trump administration and to revitalize the US immigration system more broadly. In his first 100 days in office, President Biden articulated his immigration and refugee protection goals and reversed many of his predecessor’s policies in a series of executive actions. He also raised the refugee admissions cap for FY 2021 and endorsed the US Citizenship Act of 2021, which would represent the most sweeping immigration reform legislation in decades and create the largest legalization program in US history. President Biden’s executive actions address the situation at the southern border, root causes of irregular migration from Central America, impacts of climate change on migration, COVID-19 travel restrictions, and fortification of existing legal immigration pathways, as well as commitments to create new ones.

President Biden has issued the following immigration-related Executive Orders (EOs) and administrative policy changes since his first day in office (Click the title below to jump to a description of each EO/policy change):

wasn't he VP 10yrs ago also?
are we sure he knew what he was saying?

Biden creates a problem, then proposes a solution to the problem that doesn’t actually fix the problem, but essentially codifies illegal immigration.

Imagine that with any other law. “ We will tolerate 20 murders a day. Beyond that, we will do….something about it”

Must be election season. You can tell when democrats start proposing “solutions” to problems they created.

Don't worry though guise... All we need to do is spread a little free money around!

Anybody remember when they said building a wall was too expensive? Yeah me too....

It’s not a failed administration tho. It’s actually a very successful administration based on their plans.

[FelixTheCat1919]

4,000 per day

It should be 0

[HateLiberals]

Limit it to zero and send every single person that illegally crossed in the past 50 years back

[JeepBruh]

4,000 per day

It should be 0

It should be -4,000 per day.

Out!

[Bushmaster]

4,000 per day

It should be 0

4k per day is ~1.4million per year.

But just wait and see.. Biden and his Cult of Potato will celebrate this as "doing something" about the border.

[JUSA]

4,000 per day

It should be 0

At this point? No, it should be -2,000/day. Time to send not just stop the bleeding but send many of them already here back. Tired of seeing threads about machete fights in Florida, chit many of the liberals here would have yelled at me for noticing and pretending never happened or didn't matter b/c it did not affect them personally.

We're at the stage, with Joe's recent rhetoric:
1) They can pretend Joe was for this all along
2) Somehow blame the one guy who has been complaining and trying to do something
3) Ignore how they themselves said this very action was racist/xenophobic

Tbh I don't even care about the 3rd world bullshiit that they bring with them.. What I hate is the hemorrhaging of money to support their asses. Feeding them, housing them, providing free healthcare for them, etc.

You have to legitimately have a cult-like brain if you still want to vote for a POTUS and doesnt give AF about the border or our countries sovereignty.. I mean cot dayum, I'll take a corrupt money grubbing politician (inb4 Trump, which is incorrect) over Biden if the former would close the fkn border

This is by far the biggest issue for the US right now.

[JeepBruh]

I thought about it more and -4,000/day isn't enough. It needs to be at least -10,000/day.

Too little too fukkin late

[BeachPro11]

What country in the world doesn't protect their border other than cuck western countries like the US?

Not many.

But the ones that do? Ask why and why they would want to.

The answer is obvious.

[Mckay23]

Years ago, all Democrats on the stage raised their hands when asked if their health care plan would offer coverage for illegals.
Surely, Biden and the Democrats will fix the border problem now...

Dude are you retarded? He needs no executive order he only needs to stop stopping the Border Patrol from doing their job. He is not failing, he is succeeding magnificently. At replacing legal Americans with gang-bangers from the Third World, who he can control.

Armed BP officers openly stand down as invasion proceeds. No attempt to stop whatsoever.
