this is absolute bullshit. He could have done this at any time over the past 3 years. He allowed 10 million to enter the country before blaming the problem on someone else.
The man who broke the border says the border is broken, and he is the one to fix it. He wants the authority -- which he already has -- to 'shut down' the border 'when it becomes overwhelmed.'
Even if he used it, which he likely would not, because he hasn't used the authority he already has -- even if he used it, the effect would be to regularize the flow of 5,000 illegal crossers into the United States every day. Remember in the Obama years, when officials said 1,000 a day would overwhelm the system? Now Biden wants to make 5,000 a day -- OK, 4,999 -- the new benchmark of what is acceptable. And no one should believe Biden would even enforce that. Why would Congress do such a thing? https://washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/26/biden-vows-shut-down-an-overwhelmed-border-if-senate-deal-passes/
