Over Half A Million Illegal Migrants Crossed Southern Border While Biden Claimed He Had No Power To Stop Them
Opinion by Jason Hopkins • 12h
Hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals descended on the U.S.-Mexico border between the time President Joe Biden declared there was nothing more he could do to stop illegal immigration and when he issued his executive order.
Border Patrol agents made nearly 525,000 illegal immigrant encounters across the southern border in February, March, April and May, according to the latest data by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Those were the four months between Biden claiming to the media on Jan. 30 that he’s done “all I can do” unilaterally to stop the immigration crisis and the executive order he issued on June 4 that seeks to cap southern border crossings.
“Mr. President, on the border. Have you done everything you can do with executive authority?” a reporter asked Biden on Jan. 30 before departing on Marine One.
“I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power,” Biden responded. “I’ve asked from the very day I got into office.”
