The Biden administration is preparing an executive action that would allow the president to temporarily shut down the southern border. This comes amid pressure from both sides of the aisle to curb the flow of border crossings. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.

      Trump isn’t president.

      Also, there was a bipartisan bill that Trump himself told his minions to shoot down because it would give Biden a win. So idk wtf you’re going on about. We get it, biden bad.

            Shutting down the border is Trump policy. You don’t even remember that far back? Does Biden enacting it make it retroactively good?

              False

              The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Biden administration has the right to end a Trump-era immigration policy that forces asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico as their cases make their way through U.S. immigration courts.

              The program was launched by the Trump administration in January 2019. After Biden took office, Mayorkas suspended the program in January 2021, then officially canceled it in June 2021.

              That led Texas and Missouri to sue the Biden administration in April 2021, arguing that canceling MPP violated administrative and immigration laws and that without the program, human trafficking would increase and force the states to expend resources on migrants — such as providing driver’s licenses, educating migrant children and providing hospital care.

              So he didn’t keep it. He was once again obstructed, but SCOTUS overturned the ruling. Not the narrative you guys are trying to build here.
