 Biden executive action on the border could come as early as Tuesday

The White House has hinted for some time that it will make a move. It appears imminent.

President Joe Biden is set to sign a long-anticipated executive order as soon as Tuesday that would allow him to “shut down” the southern border should crossings surge, according to four people familiar with the administration’s plans. While those people cautioned that plans are fluid, the expectation is that Biden will issue the order before heading to France in the middle of the week for a ceremony celebrating the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

The order Biden is slated to announce would use section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to dramatically limit migrants’ ability to seek asylum at the southern border once encounters reach a new threshold. Administration officials have discussed an average of 4,000 daily border crossings over the course of a week as the metric.

The White House has long been eager to show more action on the border — a longstanding political weak spot for the president. It supported a bipartisan border security bill tied to Ukraine aid. And after Republicans defeated that measure, Biden took a string of actions in recent weeks to speed up the asylum process and dissuade migration.

Too little.  Too Late.  Too duplicitous.  Too insincere.

 Mike Johnson belittles possible Biden executive action on immigration

“He’s trying to desperately show the American people somehow that he wants to address the issue that he himself created,” the House Speaker said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday that executive action by President Joe Biden on immigration would be “too little, too late.”

Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” the Louisiana Republican said of Biden: “He’s trying to desperately show the American people somehow that he wants to address the issue that he himself created.”

Though border crossings have declined in recent months, Biden is expected to sign an executive order in the coming days designed to improve processes now in use on the southern border. One continuing issue is that anyone can show up at the border and ask for asylum, launching an official process that generally sees them released into the United States to await verification and adjudication.

Speaking to host Shannon Bream, Johnson said Sunday of the president: “The only reason he’s doing that is because the polls say that it’s the biggest issue in America. Every state’s a border state,” offering a phrase that has been widely used by Republicans on the 2024 campaign trail.

Joe, this should have been done long ago Joe before you allowed millions to overtake our cities.  Next you'll try to convince us that our border is more secure than it has ever been. 

Build a wall and start massive deportation.  NO AMNESTY!  You had materials to finish the wall when you first took office, what happened???

Joe looking for a better poll numbers.  Do dead cats bounce?
