Does Biden have the authority to secure the border

[the watcher]

Again with the excuses. Congress has nothing to do with the executive branch enforcing immigration laws.

Congress has the power of the purse, and can fund or defund at will. As far as allowing unchecked migration goes, there is enough blame and pointy fingers for 3 lifetimes. Their other duty is to check power from the other 2 branches when needed, and that has been pretty lacking lately too, The only things the get done in Washington is when some unseen hand directs them to work together. You've seen this happen after 911 and the patriot act, which had already been written and sitting on someone's desk, was unanimously passed by all parties with no discussion. All of our recent military actions also happen with lockstep co operation, same with the the covid choreographed response. Money for Ukraine and Israel and adding to the debt proceeds with very little scrutiny except for the people being taxed to pay for it. This new social restructuring also seems to have the benefit of the prime mover. Illegal migration and enforcing the laws we have don't seem to be on this fast track for some reason, and what we have left is guessing who dropped the ball. The truth is the whole team doesn't want to score.

The SOS has over $63 BILLION budgeted.

The house approved huge amounts like this every time it comes up. Once it's approved, the House can't, and has never taken it back. It can't take it back without the presidents signature on a new law.
The house does have the power of the purse. But every spending bill has to be approved by the president. IE, the house writes the checks. But the president has to sign them.
During Trump, he only vetoed one spending bill. (because it didn't spend enough). It was overridden.

$63 billion is more than enough to secure the border.

Nevermind the sharp increase starting in about Match of 2020. Or the fact that South America was turning into a socialist shithole, with inflation going through the roof, along with crime.
What Trump, Biden and this graph ignores is "why" they're coming here. And until we get a president with the brains to address that, the flow of immigrants is never going to stop.

Why they want to come is no mystery. Candidate Biden ran on opening our border and did just that on the day he was elected. COME ON UP he bellowed to the world. Then Biden assigned the task of overseeing our border security. Can it get any better?

The sharp increases started long before the election. And Trump didn't stop the sharp increases.

What is the answer to the question, "what has the Party of Trump come up with as a talking point to distract the weak minded from the obvious.........Trump is sabotaging the immigration reform bill because it helps Biden and the country?"

Biden has the authority to secure the border​

 

[debbiedowner]

Simple question. I can't elaborate more on this, because there's nothing to add. Can he secure the border or not.

Yes and no and it's not so simple as some think.

Four pages to read and you decide, but you have to read all 4 pages.

Nah. But you’re using a term you don’t even understand.

It’s really just that simple.

Did you ever wonder why God chose you to be a lifelong joke?

You're nor here to debate, you're just here to troll.

Why is it a lie?

Perhaps you should do your due deligence by researching Immigration Laws created by Congress during the Clinton administration..
The Act mandates that immigrants who are unlawfully present in the U.S. for 180 days but under 365 days must remain outside the United States for three years unless pardoned.
The Act has been disregarded by Biden and his appointees to the point of lawlessness.

He spent $8 trillion in just 4 years. And he only vetoed 1 spending bill. He had the money. And for 2 years he had the house and senate.

But he still didn't secure the borders. And all you can do is make up excuses for someone who failed to secure our borders.

Why won't the House pass the immigration bill?

 

[Hector12]

President Biden seems to lack strong feelings on the issue. He wants to avoid giving Trump a powerful electoral issue. He also knows that many Democrats favor open borders.

Where does the vast majority of tax-payer money go in this con job? Do you know? Do you care?

What's in the immigration and foreign aid bill​

The vast majority of the $118.2 billion bill would be spent on overseas aid rather than immigration.

That would include $60.6 billion to assist Ukraine in its ongoing war against Russia's invasion; $14.1 billion in funds for Israel in its war against Hamas' after Hamas' terror attack; $10 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians both in Ukraine and in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank; as well as $4.83 billion for some countries in the Indo-Pacific.

The Senate proposal also includes $20.23 billion for the southern border, to increase immigration restrictions and enforcement and implement new migrant policies.

Cut the foreplay! The only reason this bill won't pass the House is they are afraid it will help Biden in the election. So you fuckers are willing to allow the border crossings to get worse, more fentenyl to get into the country, just for political gain.

You care more about your party, than you do the country.
