Does Biden have the authority to secure the border

[whitehall]

The question is whether Biden understands that he has the authority and responsibility to close the border. Somehow I doubt it.

Does Biden have the authority to secure the border​

Look at it this way--- if the president doesn't have authority to secure the border, then WHO DOES?

Would the Founders have written the Constitution saying in its preamble:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.​

The common defense. That means protect the border. Defend our sovereignty. What nation in its insanity would not provide for its own common self-defense from attacks without? Further, the inaugural oath is specified for the PRESIDENT to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of which providing for the common defense is a principle part.

 

[BlindBoo]

?? The House has already.

Nope. No more aid packages until border is closed and secure.

 

[sealybobo]

True.............but why let more in at anyone time than the system is set up to handle?

Who's fault is that?



No, we're in the situation we're in due to a global initiative by the WHO-WEF globalists.

If corporations can make it cheaper somewhere else, and be allowed to send it to America and sell it to us, they'll do it. They don't care about American workers.

And if it's cheaper to do it here, they will want to pay labor as little as possible. That's why so many industries are unionized. Labor has to organize.

Just remember it wasn't unregulated free market capitalism that created the middle class you miss. It was liberal shit like labor laws and unions.

Besides unions getting a seat at the table in the corporation, unions were also big on stopping companies who hire illegal immigrants. Hell, they didn't want to do business with any company that wasn't unionized. But that wasn't possible, so they at least insisted that companies not hire illegal workers. If they found out a company did, they told on them and the government raided that company. But that was when 35% of American workers were in unions. Today its 6%. They don't have the same lobbying power.

The old fool can't secure is own bowls. He has the authority and all the tools, he choses not to secure the border.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Texas has successfully stopped the illegal crossings. The fed wouldnt do its job so the state took care of itself.

 

[Rawley]

Nope. No more aid packages until border is closed and secure.

Again ???? They sent the stand alone aid bill for Israeli that they passed to the Senate. Schumer told them to go fuck themselves. Biden said he would veto it.

 

[YoursTruly]

If Biden can, then why didn't Trump?

Protect the border from what? Mexican military, for sure. A bunch of people seeking a better life in a better country? Not so much.


"All men are created equal. And are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

There are no caveats in that statement. All men, meaning human born on this planet (by their creator) have those rights. It's not just Americans, because we were all created by the same creator.

One of the best movies I've ever seen. Too many have not seen this. And it shows.

 

[Billo_Really]

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

Republicans do not want the border secure. They would rather have an unsecured border to use against Biden in Orange Heads' political campaign.

You're kidding, right? Try just walking into N. Korea much less dumping your ass on them as a problem to feed and clothe and house.

It wasn't stand alone. That aid was held hostage to cutting parts of the IRS funding that had already been passed by Congress.

 

[my2¢]

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is part of Homeland Security which is under the Executive branch of government. Thus, under Biden's authority and on this he's been asleep at the wheel.

 

[Markle]

If that were really the case, then there are many here on both sides of the political spectrum.

Others will notice that not all things/concepts can reduce to a few sentences that the feeble minded might grasp. Technical manuals are a prime example.

Your post sounds like something made-up to satisfy those who never passed beyond the 8th grade.

 

[Edgetho]

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

Yes. Absolutely, positively with any doubt whatsofuckingever.

This is a horseshit, paper-asshole question that is a prelude to Sponge Brains Shits Pants swearing to Gott In Himmel that he did everything he could do control the border.

Anybody with half a brain cell knows that's a lie. But most dimocrap scum don't even have that

Sadly, youre just regurgitating lib propaganda talking points. You may be correct that washington DC repubs are about as useless as flies at the bottom of an outhouse but at least on a state level they have contained and stopped the illegals from invading.

 

[Markle]

Did Benedict Donald ever completely close the border before the Covid crisis? Didn't Biden keep most of Title 42 until the middle of last year?

 

[BackAgain]

That is not a requirement. I would be curious which media outlet/pundit told you this lie.

Port-of-Entry Asylum Requirement Tossed by Federal Judge

A federal judge in Washington struck down a Trump administration rule Friday that made people who entered the United States by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border outside a port of entry ineligible for asylum.

www.courthousenews.com

"A federal judge in Washington struck down a Trump administration rule Friday that made people who entered the United States by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border outside a port of entry ineligible for asylum."

"The rule's direction that 'an alien shall be ineligible for asylum' if the alien entered the United States outside a designated port of entry is not 'compatible' with the congressional mandate that all aliens present in the United States may 'apply' for asylum, regardless of whether they entered the United States at a designated port of entry," U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss wrote in a 77-page opinion Friday."

It's how the spending was paid for, I know paying for spending is a concept completely foreign to a progressive such as yourself, but it's actually the way things used to get done.

It's not an invasion. These are families seeking asylum.

No they're not. I've seen it firsthand. What's showing on msnbc or network news ain't what's happening.
