Several prominent figures, including Rep. Lee Zeldin, Senator Tim Scott, and various Republican representatives, have asserted that President Biden has the authority to close the southern border without the need for new legislation. They argue that Biden's actions, such as undoing Title 42 and the national emergency declaration, have contributed to the border crisis and that he has the power to address it by reinstating these measures and enforcing existing laws.
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
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
Joe Biden could close the border today. He doesnt need a new law.
President Biden does not need legislative action to secure our border. He created this crisis by undoing Title 42, Remain in Mexico and more. He can reinstate them, enforce the laws on the books and secure our border. https://t.co/HCQVn52wGr
We don't need this new immigration bill for Biden to close the border. He already has the power.
Just as Biden proved he didn’t need any new law to open the border, he doesn’t need any new law to close it back up.
