Biden 'is plotting tough new immigration crackdown almost identical to one Dems previously blasted Trump for: Border will CLOSE if more than 8,500 try to cross in a day'

    The order would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border
    Mike Johnson has repeatedly called on President Biden to use the order
    Trump repeatedly leaned on this power while in office, including his controversial ban to bar travelers from Muslim-majority nations

President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump.

The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations.

The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has repeatedly called on President Biden to use the 212(f) authority.

The immigration authority the administration has been looking into is outlined in Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which gives a president broad leeway to block entry of certain immigrants into the United States if it would be 'detrimental' to the national interest of the United States.

Action.  Not words.

If Biden really wants money for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel, he'll secure the Border first.

Money for results; not money for future broken promises.

The House GOP leadership actually has a chance to demonstrate backbone.

There isn't going to be any "crackdown".

If anything, as things look worse for the administration as the election approaches, they'll push for more, and more and more and MORE to rush in...

Biden has chosen to not rackdown for the past three years.  Why should he be trusted to start now, especially with Mayorkas - architect of assylum catch and release, and DACA - as head of Department of Homeland Security.

Biden has been telling the GOP to pound as long as he thought he had election advantages or leads.

GOP can make some gains if far-right Christian fundamentalists can restrain themselves from going full Medieval before election day ... I'm looking at you, Alito and Thomas.

Don't count your witches to burn at the stake before you've caught them.

Yes they do, but given their past track record(s), very doubtful.
