Joe Biden claimed this evening that he is once again examining whether he’s got the authority to do something about the border or not.
Here’s the report from Reuters:
President Joe Biden said in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that he and his administration are trying to determine whether he has the authority to act on his own to shut down the U.S.’s southern border with Mexico to migrants, should it be deemed necessary.
Biden told Univision in the interview that because bipartisan legislation that would have granted him the authority to shut the border was stalled by Republicans in Congress, he was being encouraged to try to do it alone.
“We’re examining whether or not I have that power,” Biden said, adding there was “no guarantee” he has the power without legislation.
Migration is a central issue in this year’s presidential campaign. Former President Donald Trump, Biden’s likely Republican opponent in the Nov. 5 election, has accused Biden of bungling border issues.
This is so asinine. Nothing stopped Biden from trying to bribe students by ‘forgiving’ their student loan debt with mine and your taxpayer dollars. Nothing is stopping Biden from doing it again even though the Supreme Court said he does NOT have that authority.
Yet when it comes to the border he won’t do anything and claims he’s examining the situation or something. It’s complete and utter bs. He’s only saying this to Univision because he wants those Hispanics who are upset about the border to think he’s actually trying to do something about it when he has no plans to do anything. If he actually wanted to, he’d have done it already.
Just more lies from the liar-in-chief.
