If Biden does do an executive order to close the border all of a sudden you will hear the banshee cries of Republicans saying that Biden is overreaching even though they said Biden has the authority to close the border now. For Republicans only Republicans can do executive orders. Would no doubt see the conservatives on the Supreme Court try to stop Biden because he is not Trump.
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is finalizing details of a new executive action that would let the president temporarily shut the southern border to migrants if necessary, and it is in talks with Mexican leaders to get their crucial buy-in before proceeding, according to multiple officials familiar with the negotiations.
Trump did this shit and everyone talked about how it was inhumane and unnecessary…
And right before an election, Biden’s about to do the same damn thing?
He’s not going to get votes from Republicans for this. And it’s going to make less Dems turn out for him because he won’t do executive actions for thing his voters want, only for what we disagree with.
Biden doesn’t represent dem voters, he does whatever he fucking wants, which unfortunately has significant overlap with what Republicans want.
That’s going to hurt turnout and give trump a chance.
If we’re going to fail, why not while trying to give Dem voters what we want, instead of chasing the imaginary Republican votes that can’t wait to vote D for the first time at 60 years old?
The majority of voters this election are going to be 40s and lower.
If Biden is doing this for votes, he’s doing the exact opposite of what will work.
If he’s doing this because he legit thinks it needs done…
That’s even worse.
And either way, it highlights how he can do things via executive order if he really wants.
