President Joe Biden attempted to justify the unprecedented number of executive orders he signed during his first couple weeks in office while speaking with the media Tuesday.
“I want to make it clear. There’s a lot of talk, with good reason, about the number of executive orders that I have signed. I’m not making new law. I’m eliminating bad policy,†the president said.
Biden was enacting three more executive orders during the Oval Office event, all of which pertained to immigration issues such as family separation and the Trump administration’s travel ban.
“What I’m doing is taking on the issues that 99 percent of them, that the last president of the United States issued executive orders that I thought were very counterproductive to our security, counterproductive to who we are as a country, particularly in the area of immigration. This is about how America is safer, stronger, more prosperous when we have a fair, orderly and humane legal immigration system,†Biden continued.
So far, Biden has signed 28 executive orders, 10 memorandums and 4 proclamations, according to NPR.
