U.S. Needs Immigration Enforcement, Not a Bad Border Bill

According to the Supreme Court in Trump v. Hawaii, 8 U.S.C. § 1182(f) grants the president broad discretion to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States. All the authority that the Biden Administration needed to secure America’s border with Mexico is contained within that relatively brief section of statute.
But Team Biden refused to use the arrows already in its quiver and created an unprecedented border crisis. By some estimates, millions of unvetted foreign nationals have made their way over our border and disappeared into the interior of the United States, with the tacit compliance of the U.S. government.
Nevertheless, the radical, anti-borders contingent insists that the immigration anarchy that currently prevails across our country is entirely the fault of people who support border security. According to the “No Borders” buffoons, the Senate’s poorly-drafted and ill-considered Border Act of 2024 would have made everything all better by prohibiting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from exercising Section 1182(f) authority until after 4,000 illegal aliens jumped the border each week.
