TWITCHY
A Twitchy reported earlier Saturday, President Joe Biden has said he’d get to work immediately securing the border if Congress would just pass a bill giving him the emergency authorization.
For everyone who is demanding tougher border control, this is the way to do it.

“If given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.” Yeah, but the bipartisan bill he’s talking about is a dumpster fire that would allow 1.8 immigrants to enter legally every year, forever.
If my math is correct, the new Senate plan for the border will allow 150,000 illegals into the country every month.
5000 a day.
Every day.

This border bill is not designed to fix the problem. It normalizes 5,000 people a day coming in—that’s over 1.8 million a year. That’s called an invasion.
This has 0 chance of passing the House.

It will never pass the House, and then plenty will blame the GOP for scuttling Biden’s plan to get control of the border. It’s terrible legislation, and as many, many people have tried to point to Biden, he doesn’t need a bill to close the border. It’s his job.
Elon Musk weighed in:
No laws need to be passed. All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing. That is how it used to be.

This is all ridiculous. If there were criminals in your home you wouldn’t keep letting people in.
You’d get rid of all the criminals first and clean up the mess they made.
Same should be with the US.
DEPORT all illegals and close the border.
Once they’re gone then we tinker.

The unsustainable amount of illegal bordercrossers makes it impossible for the small minority of people who truly have genuine asylum claims

Let the Nigerian Christians in. No one else. No more economic migrants from the south.

Biden’s current plan is to let everybody claim asylum, give them court dates in 2035, and then fly them wherever they want to go.
