That's 4 EOs. Republicans falsely claim Biden issued 90 EOs relating to the border which is simply not true. And, it's also a fact that the courts overturned a lot of Trump border policies along with many of Trump's border policies expiring due to no longer having Title 42 authority because the pandemic was lifted. |
Gosh, maybe because of this? -DP "Biden signed more than a dozen executive actions Wednesday in the Oval Office just hours after arriving at the White House after having been sworn in as the 46th president, including measures to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change, repeal Trump's restrictions on travel from several Muslim-majority countries, stop construction of the Southern border wall and mandate the wearing of masks on federal property." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/biden-take-immediate-steps-undo-key-trump-initiatives-unveil-immigration-n1254808 |
You actually think Democrats - you know, the same ones calling border detention facilities "concentration camps" - would have allowed him to do this?? Wow, how soon you forget. It took a border crisis, the likes of which we have never seen, to get the majority of Americans on board with DOING SOMETHING. Too bad it had to come to this, but you have only Biden to blame. |
+100 It's really quite astounding how stupid some people are, deliberately or otherwise. |
DP. This is utter BS. Trump was able to use Executive Orders to shape the border policies he wanted. Biden undid ALL of them upon taking office. He, too, could use EOs to crack down on the border, but he claims he "can't." The fact is, he is utterly cowed by the progressive wing of his party. We all know this, so you playing dumb is just not a good look. |
DP. That was not false, and you have grossly mischaracterized what Jim Lankford said. Here are his actual words when asked about his reaction during the SOTU: Lankford on his reaction during State of the Union address: "I was listening to the President and obviously as he was walking through and I could hear my colleagues around me saying none of that is true. I was actually listening to the President and thinking, no that part is actually true. It [the border bill] would have hired all of those additional agents, would have expedited the [asylum] process [to deport illegal border crossers], and would have also changed the asylum standard… The only way to be able to solve this problem right now, legally, is to be able to change the asylum standard… The problem is the President also left out some of the things he could do. Now he’s choosing not to do. He has a very open parole system that literally thousands of people a day are coming across and being rapidly paroled. He is not actually doing what’s called the last in first up for hearing to deter people from coming across by having faster hearings in the process. So there are multiple executive actions. For whatever reason, the President is choosing not to use, but there’s also legal authorities that need to be done as well." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2024/03/10/james-lankford-talks-state-of-the-union-reaction-border-crisis-on-cnn/72923377007/ |
DP. In what world should 5,000 encounters a DAY - or whatever you want to call it - be acceptable?? It is absolutely insane. No other country in the world would allow even a few hundred, much less 5,000. |
DP. The border disaster we have had for the last four years has been entirely of Biden's making. Stop gaslighting. In his first 100 days in office, Biden signed more than 60 executive actions, 24 of which are direct reversals of Trump’s policies. Biden has defended the number as necessary to undo what he considers “bad policy” inherited from Trump, especially on immigration. To date, 10 of his 12 actions on immigration are reversals of Trump’s policies. “And I want to make it clear — there’s a lot of talk, with good reason, about the number of executive orders that I have signed — I’m not making new law; I’m eliminating bad policy,” Biden said as he signed a series of actions on immigration from the Oval Office on February 2. “What I’m doing is taking on the issues that — 99% of them — that the president, the last president of the United States, issued executive orders I felt were very counterproductive to our security, counterproductive to who we are as a country, particularly in the area of immigration.” https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/politics/biden-executive-orders/ |
DP. Where are you getting this 90 number? Once again: In his first 100 days in office, Biden signed more than 60 executive actions, 24 of which are direct reversals of Trump’s policies. Biden has defended the number as necessary to undo what he considers “bad policy” inherited from Trump, especially on immigration.

Every DEMOCRAT politician is STILL in FULL support of open borders. |
Exactly. Not one single Democrat politician is calling for a single change to the current Democrat open border policy. |
+100 Watch the usual suspects studiously ignore this, and all the links that have been posted. |
Again have you not been paying attention over the last several years?, the courts overturned many of Trump's EOs because they weren't legal, were challenged and Trump's administration lost, and many of them expired when the pandemic declaration was lifted, which removed the temporary Title 42 authority. What makes you think Biden could simply do the same and repeat the same things that the courts already overturned? What makes you think Biden could use Title 42 authority when there's no longer a declared pandemic? Are you really so naïve and simplistic and uninformed to not understand how anything works? You only seen to know what equally uninformed - or dishonest - right wing pundits are telling you. |
False. The Senate bill includes MANY changes to border policy. And, it was authored by one of the most conservative members of the Senate. But you've been poisoned against it by lies and false propaganda, like "iT wOuLD LeT 5,000 iLLeGaLS A DaY jUSt WaLK riGHt In!!!!" |
