President Joe Biden is reportedly considering using executive authority to stem the flow of migrants into the United States.
For many years, the Biden administration denied the existence of a border crisis, insist over and over again America’s borders are “secure.” But when it became clear that the $118 billion supplemental spending bill, which would have given Ukraine more than $60 billion and just $20 billion for border security, would not pass, the White House began to sing a different tune.
Against the objections of Republicans and those with even the slightest knowledge of immigration law, Mr. Biden Said Parliament demanded that he be given the authority, saying, “I have done everything I could.” And after the bill died in Congress, Biden tried to blame the border crisis on Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
Biden is currently considering issuing an executive order on the immigration crisis before his SOTU speech.
but According to Axios, Biden is not going to take action in America’s interests. Instead, he is concerned with political perspectives.
Axios reported:
One of the bold measures Biden is reportedly considering is an executive order that would dramatically halt the record flow of migrants into the Southwest. This could happen two weeks before the speech, allowing Biden to say he took action while Republicans just talked.
Politics aside, the plan to wield executive power undermines the entire narrative that Biden and his defenders have been parroting for years. While it acknowledges the crisis, it also proves that Biden’s hands are not actually tied.
Meanwhile, it’s important to remember that Biden already has statutory authority to ease the immigration crisis. One of the most obvious legal tools is Section 1182(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Section 1182(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act state:
If the President determines that the admission of any alien or alien of any kind into the United States is detrimental to the interests of the United States, the President may, by proclamation, suspend the admission of such alien for such period as he deems necessary. can do. Recognize all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose such restrictions on the entry of aliens as it considers appropriate.
Mr. Biden’s deliberate shift in tone and the urgency to shift responsibility for the crisis that unfolded on his watch have led to special counsel Robert Hur’s increasing scrutiny of Mr. Biden’s age and mental acuity. This is to counter the backlash from the report.
“Everyone around me [Biden] A source “close to Biden” told Axios: “The president is well aware of the need to step up this campaign. The only way to deal with the negative aftershocks of the special counsel’s report is for the president to It’s about being out there,” he said. , stand out, have a strong presence, and have a strong voice. ”
