Republican lawmakers are holding President Joe Biden responsible for the ongoing crisis at the southern border, asserting that he has the executive authority to address the issue but has chosen not to act. They claim that Biden reversed successful Trump-era policies on his first day in office, including ending the national emergency declaration at the southern border and the Remain in Mexico policy, which has led to the current chaos. The GOP accuses Biden of creating the crisis by ending these policies and refusing to enforce existing immigration laws, further citing Biden's 2020 call for illegal aliens to 'immediately surge the border'. They also criticize a border bill that would allocate $100 billion to foreign countries for their borders while giving Biden the authority to waive a border emergency. The GOP has passed HR2 in the House, which aims to restart border wall construction, deploy technology, and end catch and release, calling on the Senate to pass it as a solution to end the crisis.
Joe Biden has refused to use executive authority to secure our borders. House Republicans passed the strongest border security bill in history. Joe Biden is to blame for the #BidenBorderCrisis https://t.co/L5jQEtpMc5
Joe Biden OWNS what’s happening at the border. This invasion is a direct result of his refusal to follow federal immigration law. The American people know the truth and they won’t be swayed by his lies. https://t.co/3EvrqZJj8x
It’s time for Joe Biden to take responsibility and take action on the crisis his Administration created at the southern border. https://t.co/1jAdZgMYDA

As Joe Biden’s #BorderCrisis continues to endanger the American people, Senate Republicans did the right thing by rejecting America-last legislation focused more on foreign funding than securing our nation. Now, it’s time for them to step up and pass #HR2.
President Biden's refusal to use his existing executive authority to shut down the border signals his unwillingness to solve this crisis. He's only calling on Congress to make new laws so he can pass the blame to Republicans for HIS open border policies. Shameful. https://t.co/aUpESnkYx5
President Biden has the authority to end the crisis. Instead, he’s decided to aid and abet the largest border invasion our nation’s ever seen. https://t.co/LB87FRPNtu
For months, we’ve heard this White House lay blame on Republicans for the crisis at the border. Suddenly, they now have the legal authority to stem the flow of migrants at the border. Joe Biden has chosen not to secure the border for three years. https://t.co/zfSfeqoNSl
President Biden has now resorted to threatening the American people with an even worse border crisis. The President already has the tools and authority he needs to close the border. This is crisis is intentional. https://t.co/ooPvH0AArh
After border security fails in Senate, Biden faults Trump "There’s been a serious outbreak of finger-pointing at the Biden White House this week." https://t.co/RJ9Acq9q7L via @reviewjournal
BREAKING: After 3 years of doing nothing, gaslighting Americans that the border was secure, and just recently blaming a new bill for not being able to stop the border crisis… BIDEN MIGHT NOW USE HIS VAST EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY TO RE-SECURE THE BORDER. Lol. Lmao, even. https://t.co/NujXwWiICr

President Biden says the border crisis is President Trump's fault, but this is obviously insane gaslighting. The number of people illegally entering the country is now the highest it's been in a hundred years, and it started getting worse immediately after Biden canceled Trump's… https://t.co/QA7CT5Hm15 https://t.co/YggtKc29gM
President Biden, whom Republicans accuse of creating the crisis at the southern border and failing to use executive authority to fix the problem, pleaded for GOP support. He sought to flip the script on who’s to blame. https://t.co/SU9g84ZvAy
.@JoeBiden has all the tools he needs to solve the southern border crisis. It's past time for him to act. https://t.co/N811zLH6lN
#HR2 passed by @HouseGOP is common-sense America-FIRST legislation to END Biden's #BorderCrisis. 🏗️ Restarts construction of the border wall ✅ Deploys technology to our borders ❌ Ends deadly catch and release Instead of pushing dead end 'solutions,' the Senate must pass #HR2.
The American people have made their voices heard: they DO NOT want swamp border bills that codify the crisis #HR2 is what ends this mayhem for good – it’s time for the Senate to get it passed https://t.co/OzbhNIwcow
Joe Biden has every tool at his disposal to secure the border and stop this invasion right now… if he wanted to. https://t.co/xdnpxIpYVx
On DAY ONE, President Biden ended the national emergency declaration at the southern border. Make no mistake — Biden created this crisis, and he has the power to fix it. https://t.co/unpUmm5R0A
Democrats think they can get away with pinning the border crisis on Republicans. They are wrong. Joe Biden's policies are responsible for the crisis, and it can end anytime he wants. https://t.co/BmVppinXQL
H.R. 2 is the best chance we have at a safe and secure border. It’s time for the Senate to bring it for a vote! The American people won’t be safe until our border is secure.
Biden’s already refusing to use the power he has to secure the border. If that isn’t bad enough, his border bill would give him official authority to WAIVE a border emergency. A law giving Biden more power to do NOTHING is the opposite of securing the border! https://t.co/mCi8BDPDET
My answer is clear: @JoeBiden has the tools he needs to end the crisis he created. He must step up and secure the southern border. https://t.co/36NNDV30Z0
President Biden created this border crisis - he reversed strong policies on day one, refuses to enforce our laws, and could end this crisis today with the stroke of a pen. I can’t support a bill that gives $100 billion of borrowed money to foreign countries for their borders…
Remember Trump's Remain in Mexico policy? Biden ended it in his first month in charge. He fully owns the chaos his actions have created at our southern border. https://t.co/AUJxroJkLQ
President Biden has full authority to immediately shut down the southern border. This is a crisis of his own making. https://t.co/VjjzQvbkRk
REALITY: From Day 1, Biden has had the authority to secure the border. Make no mistake, Biden is responsible for the absolute chaos at the southern border. https://t.co/O8u2kS4Bsx
More lies told by @POTUS. Joe Biden is singularly responsible for the border crisis. All Americans remember Biden's call in 2020 for illegal aliens to "immediately surge the border." The illegals took him up on it. https://t.co/nV3j9NgJUo
On day one, President Biden reversed successful Trump-era border policies. His refusal to take action has led to the chaos we see today. Here are eight things he can do to secure the border now that he REFUSES to enforce. https://t.co/QsdZlqVI1y
Joe Biden wants to play games and claims he must have the ridiculous Senate border deal to secure the border. That’s abjectly FALSE. On day 1, Joe Biden reversed Trump policies and started the Biden Border Crisis. Biden Owns this invasion and can act today to stop it. https://t.co/Yqdmhr6GiX
