Just a few weeks ago President Biden said that he has done all he can to handle the southern border. He said his hands were tied. Only Congress can straighten out the mess he deliberately created on his first day in office.
That is a lie, of course. The man who opened up the southern border through executive action is capable of reversing his executive actions. He knows it. He thinks you are stupid.
The Biden border crisis is intentional. 5,084,568 illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border since Biden took office, according to CBP. There is no way to count the number of gotaways so that number isn't included.
Voters are frustrated and angry about illegal immigration and the open border. Every state is a border state now. Taxpayers are footing the bill to provide services for the illegal aliens who are allowed to remain in the country. Illegal immigration and border security are the top issues this election cycle, along with the economy. That is bad news for Joe Biden's re-election campaign.
Biden is deeply underwater in polling on these issues. So he has to look like he is doing something, despite ignoring the border crisis for almost four years.
The president has been yammering about working on doing something but mostly he blames Congress for not acting. When the awful border security bill failed to pass in the Senate, Team Biden flipped the script and blamed Republicans for Biden's open border. You can't make this stuff up.
Biden is expected to announce what he will do about the border by Tuesday. He leaves Tuesday for Normandy to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. He will conveniently make his plan public and then leave the country.
The president wants to surround himself with mayors of border towns as he speaks. Biden is in perpetual campaign mode so this is not a surprise.
White House officials have begun reaching out to mayors who represent cities along the US southern border to potentially join President Joe Biden when he announces the order, two other sources familiar with those conversations said.
For weeks, administration officials have been working through an executive action that would dramatically limit migrants’ ability to seek asylum at the US southern border — part of a strategy to try to give Biden the upper hand on one of his Republican rival’s key campaign issues. The action is designed to potentially blunt Republican attacks on border security and preempt former President Donald Trump ahead of the first presidential debate, which will be held on June 27 on CNN.
Edinburg Mayor Ramiro Garza confirmed to CNN that the administration contacted him on Saturday to attend a Tuesday event at the White House.
The order is expected to be reminiscent of a controversial measure from the Trump era. It involves using an authority known as 212f between ports of entry to try to clamp down on unlawful border crossings.
Team Biden wants you to think he is doing something similar to what the Trump administration did when it successfully closed the border. Biden wants to pretend that he is slowing down asylum claims.
When asked about this during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Speaker Johnson, "Too little, too late."
The most important executive action Biden can take is to reinstate Remain in Mexico. Will he work with Mexico now, as Trump did, to stop the invasion at the border? Mexico has been somewhat cooperative lately. Mexican officials have slowed the flow of migrants through their country and that slows the flow of migrants to the U.S. border.
Something that Team Biden may not have counted on, though, is the exposure of a scheme to put in place mass amnesty. That is what is happening now. In a summary on X, it is being reported that 350,000 asylum cases have been dropped without decisions.
AMNESTY.
The Biden administration has terminated approximately 350,000 asylum cases without a decision, effectively granting amnesty to the involved illegal immigrants. This action has sparked controversy, with critics accusing the administration of attempting to influence the upcoming election by increasing the number of potential Democrat voters. The move has been met with widespread criticism, with some arguing that it undermines the legal immigration process and the rule of law, while others believe it is a necessary step to address the backlog of asylum cases and provide relief to those seeking refuge in the United States.
It's happening

Biden is granting amnesty https://t.co/37KVV7fZY9
To be clear, this was the fever dream of the Democrats all along. They want an open border. They want Biden to grant mass amnesty to illegal aliens. If the presidential election was held today, Biden would lose. Make no mistake, this is why he is now beginning to grant mass amnesty. He is desperate to win re-election and hold on to power.
The southern border continues to attract illegal immigrants because they know Biden will let them stay.
NEW: As Turkish nationals flood across the San Diego sector border illegally, @nypost has obtained Telegram messages w/ their smugglers, who say unlike TX, there is no resistance at the CA border, and they express concern about the November election.

We'll see what 'plan' Biden announces. Will he have the cojones to come clean on his actions on amnesty? Don't hold your breath. All those promises of having a transparent administration were lies, too.
