Washington — President Joe Biden told the nation’s governors on Friday that he’s exploring what executive actions he can take to curb migration across the southern border after a bipartisan deal collapsed in Congress this month. He seemed to express frustration at the legal limits of his authority to act unilaterally.
Biden hosted members of the National Governors Association in the East Room, where he implored them to urge their representatives in Congress to resurrect the bipartisan proposal that collapsed within 48 hours. He also sharply criticized Republicans for backing away from the agreement after former President Donald Trump lobbied in opposition to the deal.

Erase all the evil executive orders of his first 90 days....that would go a long
way to start undoing the massive harm he has wrought on our country.

Legal limits of his authority? Closing coal mines, shutting down pipelines, canceling student debt - yet he pleads helplessness when it comes to the border. How stupid do they think we are?

Don't you understand that if the slush fund to Ukraine ends, they might disclose a lot of not so favorable info. Well, 'Son of a bi**ch'!

Why does everybody continue to suffer this incompetent fool, knowing that America is being harmed a little bit more each day that he takes a breath in the Oval Office? A village in Delaware is missing its idiot.

When a single person controls the fate of the Nation---even against substantial opposition---isn't that the very definition of despotism? And there's that description of immigration as 'broken'. The Commiecrats love that term. The low info, low IQ plebs that make up so much of their voter base might not understand politics, but they know that when something is broken: it's no good anymore, you might as well throw it out and get a new one.....one THEY design.

No mention that OVER HALF of all of those Governors have already signed on to a "Mutual Defense against Invasion" pact with the State of Texas, are supplying state troopers and state guard troops and other support to block mass border incursions...Which Biden previously SLAMMED them for, and has fought tooth and nail against.

"frustrated with lawyers" - no, his frustration is with the law. However all democrats think the law is unclear on what he can put into an executive order.

Any political move by Biden to supposedly stop mass uncontrolled illegal immigration across the Southern border will a bogus political effort loaded with exceptions and waivers designed to fool low information Americans, as Biden is the one who absolutely created the out of control borderline by his words, encouraging and inviting unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to surge to the US borders and that he would allow them into the USA, and by then putting in place ridiculous “open borders” and “catch and release” policies that are in violation of the immigration laws passed by Congress, by allowing and facilitating unlimited millions of illegal aliens into the USA under the fraudulent guise that they might be eligible for asylum in the USA, and that the “right thing to do” is allow those mostly all Third World origin poor, uneducated and government (welfare) dependent illegal aliens into the USA in unlimited numbers. Note that there are several billion such people who are residents in Third World countries, who if they came to a US border would be eligible for entry to the USA under Biden’s ridiculous policies, but not under the immigration laws passed by Congress that provide that such illegal aliens must be detained, given hearings within about 35 days, and if their asylum claims are denied, be removed from the USA. Clearly what Biden’s policies are, are violations of the immigration laws.
I was listening to a government official on TV last evening, he gave an account of the millions of Second World War, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans now alive in the USA. He said that the numbers of illegal aliens that Biden has waived into the USA already outnumber the numbers of those veterans, and that they are more than enough to replace all those veterans when they are no longer alive in 20 years or so.
Actually what is going on with Biden’s silent invasion of the USA by illegal aliens is only the first step in a long-term demographic population change for the USA that Biden and the globalist leftist and socialist Democrats are engineering for the USA. Biden and the Democrats know that well over 90% of the illegal aliens who they are allowing into the USA are not statutory eligible for asylum in the USA, so they must pass in the Congress, a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty that will transform unlimited numbers of today’s illegal aliens into tens of millions of future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters. The next step for the leftist and socialist Democrats is to claim that “the right thing to do” is to allow the legalized aliens to bring their extended foreign families into the USA, in a process that would increase the legalized alien population by a factor of about six, and that would go on indefinitely, as an unlimited number of extended foreign family members keep coming to the USA indefinitely on into the future.

The law didn't stop him from flinging open the borders and allowing over 7 million criminals into our country and the many edits he has issued that are stupid or illegal.

If he could act unilaterally he would remove all barriers, the Border Patrol, and any semblance of boundaries and allow anyone in the world to walk, fly, or swim in.
