House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) said Tuesday he doesn’t think President Joe Biden has exhausted his immigration powers.
Before leaving the White House for a campaign event in Florida, Biden insisted there was nothing more to be done to ease the border crisis and called on lawmakers to “just give me the power.” Ta.
Biden: “I’ve done everything I can. Just give me strength.” Said. “I’ve been asking you since the day I took office. Give me the Border Patrol. Give me the people. Give me the people. Give me the judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work properly.”
But Johnson said that was “absolutely false”.
“He’s either lying or giving misinformation,” Johnson responded, pointing to specific powers that Biden has not used to stop the crisis.
“Here are just a few of the powers at the president’s disposal: immigration restriction power 212(f), summary removal power 235(b)(1), and discretionary detention, if he were to exercise them. Power 236(a), mandatory detention. 236(c),” the speaker explained. “No excuses.”
It will take several days to confirm the facts. After Biden promised to ‘shut down’ Border — only if Lawmakers passed a controversial bill that Republicans say will do little to stop the immigration crisis.
Mr. Johnson similarly responded to these claims with concrete actions at Mr. Biden’s disposal, which Mr. Biden declined to take advantage of.
“As I explained to him in a letter late last year, and have repeated concretely many times since, he must take immediate executive action to reverse the catastrophe he has caused,” Johnson said. We can and we must.” Said. “The Immigration and Nationality Act and recent Supreme Court precedent require him to “suspend the admission as immigrants or nonimmigrants of all aliens or aliens of any kind, or to suspend the admission of aliens in any way in his judgment.” Appropriate. “Sufficient authority” to impose restrictions.” ‘”
Additionally, Biden will “secure the border by ending catch-and-release, ending the use of parole powers, reinstating the Remain in Mexico program, expanding the use of expedited removal powers, and restarting construction of the border wall.” “We can start doing that,” Johnson explained. .
“The President must begin by using the broad legal powers he already has to restore our nation’s sovereignty and end the mass exodus of illegal aliens into our country,” he added.
The idea that Biden would “close” the border It’s basically a farce.
If Congress passes a border bill — that’s a big “what if” — tens of thousands of immigrants They will continue to be allowed to enter the United States every week, and the majority will be released into the United States pending their immigration court proceedings.
