Following President Biden's recent statements on the border crisis, several Republican representatives and organizations have criticized his handling of the situation, highlighting the lack of action despite available options. They accuse Biden of ignoring the crisis by not reversing his 64+ executive actions or negotiating with the GOP on HR 2, a border security bill that has been awaiting debate for 302 days. Critics also point to the President's failure to mention viable solutions during the State of the Union address, such as restricting entry at the border and reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy. The crisis is described as a national security risk, with an increase in 'gotaways' to 1.8M and terror watchlist stops. FAIR Immigration and other representatives argue that Biden has the authority to take immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens.
.@POTUS made over 60 policy changes at our Southern border including ending Remain in Mexico, restarting catch & release and granting parole to dangerous people like Laken Riley’s murderer. I took the opportunity to remind him that he can & should end this crisis TODAY. ⬇️ https://t.co/iw2sSAwnZn
Biden’s open border has left America’s national security exposed. Unchecked illegal aliens are flooding through our southern border. We face the greatest risk for a terrorist attack since 9/11. https://t.co/sccRC5vwPI
President Biden has not only failed to secure the border, but now he claims he is powerless to end the crisis. He told the American people that he has done all he can do. FAIR is here to remind @POTUS of the actions he can take immediately to end the crisis! https://t.co/4ghoyJca8f
.@POTUS has these authorities. At the #SOTU, I told him to use them! ➡️Restrict Entry at Border ➡️End Catch & Release ➡️Reinstate Remain in Mexico ➡️Enter Asylum & Parole Abuses ➡️Detain Inadmissible Aliens ➡️Expedited Removal ➡️Stop Taxpayer-Funded Benefits for Illegals https://t.co/Py03GSB4w9
Biden and his anti-American policies are responsible for our border crisis, not Congress. Almost a year ago, the House passed H.R. 2, the strongest border security bill this country has ever seen. Biden ignored it, along with the homeland security risks that an open border brings
Last night, the President told the American people that he has done all he can to solve the border crisis. He claims he is powerless and blames Congress for inaction. FAIR has come up with at least ten things that @POTUS can do NOW to end the crisis he created. https://t.co/7AIY4QOEt6
Our nation is facing a major national security and humanitarian crisis at our southern border. Democrats spent years pretending the crisis doesn’t exist, but they can't deny the truth any longer. https://t.co/NEavr3d5CI
President Biden willfully ignored the fact that he created the crisis and continued to claim that he is powerless to act without Congress passing the deeply-flawed Senate border bill. https://t.co/D10yYRgnsp
President Biden's open border policies have led to a national security crisis. It's time for the President to lay out a plan to secure our southern border and protect the American people. https://t.co/avEYt9quBj
Despite Biden's claims, the southern border faces an unprecedented crisis, with 1.8M 'gotaways' & rising terror watchlist stops. It's time for action, not photo-ops. https://t.co/kMmCRlfJ67
Any member of Congress can introduce a bill. Biden clings to a FAILED Senate bill. The ONLY border bill that PASSED is HR 2. It's been on Schumer's desk for 302 DAYS. Biden doesn't want to talk about that. Why? He doesn't want to fix the border. He just wants to blame the GOP. https://t.co/IFmC2x8NPl
During last night’s #StateOfTheUnion, the President failed to mention all of the things he can do *today* to secure the border. https://t.co/YMaUPBWrgg
The American people deserve action on the border. Not just words blaming Republicans. And make no mistake: President Biden could act today.
Last night Biden feigned outrage about the border. If he really cares, he has 2 options: 1) Reverse his 64+ executive actions that ignited the crisis 2) Force Schumer to put HR2 up for debate & negoitiate with @HouseGOP off its framework–its been on Schumer's desk for 302 DAYS https://t.co/AzsgmCkm2l
