Yeah....kinda like how the Republicans trashed the border bill that would have greatly slowed down the massive leak but chose to listen to the orange idiot and play political games....just like he did with Covid.
Biden can't slow down the Asylum seekers without breaking existing law or scaring immigrants into not coming by taking their babies and putting kids in cages. That was Trump's great Asylum slow down.
How bout pass a damn law and take it out of the President's hands period.
Contact your Republican Rep if you want border law. Dems already tried to pass one. Republicans are the ones who are allowing open borders by refusing to pass laws against it.
House Republicans have passed a sweeping bill to build more U.S.-Mexico border wall and impose new restrictions on asylum seekers. The GOP proposal is a hard-line counter to President Joe Biden’s policies just as migrants are amassing along the border with the end of coronavirus pandemic...

They did, and while democrats sat on their ass for 2 years while controlling the entire govt, until title 42 ended, their only rebuttle was no we shouldn't fix asylum just make it where nothing exists...gotta virtue signal, you know
Talking about cages, you talking about the Obama built ones? Or are you talking about the concentration camps that have now been built in places like NYC, or the schools that have been taken from black communities now used to house?
Also when are you going to accept the overwhelming majority of these Asylum claims are bogus? And Biden 8 million executive orders have made it more difficult for legitimate claims to be seen. And under current law, the president is supposed to exclude illegal immigrants. Read that last line again.
Here’s the problem with the current bill that just got rejected:
“The deal seeks to toughen the “credible fear” standard that has been loosely applied to wave illegal immigrants en masse into the country. This would be a welcome change, but the bill creates a new process that bypasses the immigration courts and relies on notoriously open-handed asylum officers to make asylum determinations. It also dangles the prospect of expedited work permits, adding to the incentive for illegal immigrants to come here. The new asylum process is supposed to run much more quickly than the current system, but there’s every reason to believe it, too, will soon be overwhelmed.
The deal’s supposed end to “catch and release” doesn’t live up to its billing, since it gives the Homeland Security secretary the authority to send migrants to “Provisional Noncustodial Removal Proceedings” — in other words, to release them — if they express a fear of persecution or request asylum.”
