Joe Biden now doing what he does best

weaseling out of the blame for US border crisis
Biden claims he needs Republicans in Congress to give him the “authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed . . . I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”

For three years, Joe Biden and his repulsive Homeland Security chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, have encouraged the Third World to enter America illegally.
At least 8 million have answered their siren song.
Only now that the sheer numbers of illegal aliens causing mayhem and busting budgets in Democratic cities like New York have become an electoral liability has Biden had an epiphany.
So he is doing what he does best: telling lies to weasel out of blame.
Now he claims he needs Republicans in Congress to give him the “authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed … I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”
But he already has the authority. He could shut down the border today. He has spent three years lying that the border is “secure” and now he’s lying that he needs new laws to secure it.
He could stop suing Texas to prevent Gov. Greg Abbott from sealing his
border with Mexico, for starters.
He signed 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to dismantle Donald Trump-era border protections. He could reinstate them with the stroke of a pen.

Electoral poison
Maybe sadder still is that McConnell and friends are trying to blame Trump for scuttling their fabulous “bipartisan solution” because they claim he wants the border to remain a festering sore until the election.
Trump just told the truth, which is that the deal is a non-starter. McConnell probably won’t even get a majority of Republicans to agree to it.
It’s up to Abbott and the two dozen Republican states that are backing him to defy the Biden administration and secure the border. They should all go to the border for a show of solidarity with Abbott this week. They are on the side of the rule of law and the will of the people.
Every time Biden and Mayorkas order their federal agents to cut the razor wire and reopen the border, it’s another nail in the coffin for Democrats’ electoral prospects, whoever is on the Democratic ticket in November.
But he’s handed Biden the one fake talking point he needs for the election: If “MAGA Republicans” had only passed this bill, he would have stopped the border crisis.
Everyone knows what Biden has done. We see it in overwhelmed hospitals and schools, shattered budgets, crime and disorder and the sheer unfairness of illegal aliens living high on the hog in flashy Manhattan hotels while American veterans sleep on the street.
Voters won’t forget.
Commentary:
Joe Biden now doing what DNCCP Democrats do best — weaseling out of the blame for everything they screw up by blaming Republicans. There, fixed it.
Uninformed people need to understand why our gas prices are lowering, and there’s now talk of securing our border. Election time is drawing near and Biden is temporarily trying undo the intentional problems that he has made. Fortunately, most Americans have finally seen this Administration’s planned attacks on our former way of life. So please remember on Election Day what has been happening to our country these last four years and how your vote can change that.
Meanwhile, Schumer's secret border bill the Senate won’t disclose it's contents is to keep the border open, giving immediate citizenship to the unvetted criminal freeloaders similar to the extremely destructive Obamacare bill no politician read beforehand that passed in a rush on a Saturday night that quadrupled deductibles and premiums. Trump can’t come fast enough.
