About Joe Biden’s Recent Opportunistic Claim that he is Fixing the Border

Joe Biden is claiming that he is fixing uncontrolled immigration. Really? Consider this chronology:

Biden in 2020: I promise to use executive order to reverse all of Trump’s border security policies.
2021: I just used executive order to reverse all of Trump’s border security policies.
2022: The border is secure.
2023: The border isn’t really secure but I can’t do anything about it just by executive order.
2024: Republicans won’t secure the border so I’m using a proclamation to fix the border.

Anna Matson explains what is really going on, drawing a distinction between executive orders and Biden’s recent “proclamation”:

What else to make of Biden’s recent action? There’s no way for the White House to say it any more clearly: “After Biden wins this upcoming election, we will throw open the borders again until June 2028 when we temporarily close them again.
