I don\u2019t care if they call \u200cthe legislation HR \u20642 or not.\u200d What we\u2019re saying is you have to\u2064 stem the flow. The President has\u200b executive authority right now, as Congress does this \u200dnegotiation and the debate \u200band discussion,\u201d Johnson\u2063 said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2064President could stop at section 212 F of the Immigration and Nationality Act\u200d [which] the \u200dSupreme Court has already acknowledged gives the\u2064 President broad\u2062 executive authority. He\u2064 could close the\u200b border literally overnight,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed \u200don whether it is their obligation to voters to pass legislation, noting that executive action on the border\u200b under the Trump administration faced lengthy court battles, Johnson reiterated\u2062 that the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2 in 2023.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe \u200cdid that nine \u200dmonths ago. And since we passed our measure in the House to solve this problem \u2013 and the reason\u2062 we had to do \u2063it \u2064is because we saw that President Biden was not \u2062fulfilling \u2064his obligation under the law. That\u2019s why this is such a failure\u2013 failure of leadership,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn the nine months \u2063since that bill has sat \u200con Chuck Schumer\u2018s desk collecting dust, 1.8 million illegals have been allowed into this country. Welcomed \u2064into\u200c the country, sent around the nation \u200cinto every community.\u200d Communities near everyone listening and watching this\u2063 morning. And that is a catastrophe,\u201d he \u200badded.<\/p>\n<p>When\u2063 pressed again on working on legislative action, Johnson said the GOP-led House is \u201cwilling to work\u200d with the Senate\u201d but also noted that \u201cthey have to be serious about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has promised to close \u200cthe border if the proposed Senate bill \u2014 which is expected to be released on Sunday \u2014 passes through \u2062Congress. Republicans have countered Biden\u2019s argument by \u200cclaiming the president already has authority to act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE\u2062 WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(function() {\n  var g = window;\n  g.googletag = g.googletag || {};\n  g.googletag.cmd = g.googletag.cmd || [];\n  g.googletag.cmd.push(function() {\n    g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\", \"true\");\n  });\n})();\nvar _bp = _bp || [];\n_bp.push({\n  \"div\": \"Brid_1546304\",\n  \"obj\": {\n    \"id\": \"27789\",\n    \"width\": \"1280\",\n    \"height\": \"720\",\n    \"stickyDirection\": \"below\",\n    \"video\": \"1546304\"\n  }\n});\n<\/script>  <\/p>\n<h2>What is the Title 8 \u200dborder policy?<\/h2>\n<p><span>Under \u200bTitle 8,\u2063 migrants who are deported \u200dare banned from entering the U.S. for at \u200cleast five years.

You have \u200bto \u200cgo\u2063 to a designated \u2064port of entry.\u2019 That\u2064 would solve a big part \u2062of the problem right now.

However, Johnson argued \u2063that without the executive action from\u200b President Biden, any legislative solution would be rendered ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the Biden\u200d administration\u200d have \u200baccused\u200c the president of\u200b creating a border crisis with his more \u200blenient \u2063approach to immigration policies. They \u2064argue that Biden\u2019s\u200d rollback of Trump-era policies, such as the Migrant Protection Protocols and the construction of the border wall, have \u200cincentivized migrants to make the \u2064dangerous \u200bjourney to the US-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>The number of encounters at the border has \u2063indeed seen a sharp increase since Biden took office. In March, Customs and Border\u200c Protection reported \u200cover 172,000 encounters, the \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/softballs-and-adoration-read-the-questions-reporters-have-asked-bidens-press-secretary\/\" title=\"Softballs And Adoration: Read The \u2018Questions\u2019 Reporters Have Asked Biden\u2019s Press Secretary\">highest monthly total<\/a>\u2063 in over 20 years. This surge in border crossings\u2062 has put a strain on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nearly-2k-migrants-apprehended-in-two-days-in-single-texas-border-sector\/\" title=\"Nearly 2K Migrants Apprehended in Two Days in Single Texas Border Sector\">border patrol resources<\/a> and sparked\u2063 concern over\u200d the safety and well-being of migrants, \u2062especially children.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden has acknowledged the challenges at\u2063 the\u2063 border but has placed blame on the Trump \u200cadministration for \u2062dismantling the asylum\u2062 system and failing to address the root causes of migration from Central American countries. The Biden administration has announced plans to address the situation by increasing\u2062 funding for humanitarian aid in \u2063the \u2062region, \u200destablishing \u200cprocessing centers in \u2064Mexico for asylum\u2062 seekers,\u200b and expediting the asylum process.<\/p>\n<p>While\u200b both sides of the political aisle\u200b continue to debate \u2063the\u200c best course of action for addressing the border crisis, the responsibility ultimately falls on President Biden to take\u200d decisive action. As\u2063 the leader of the country, he has the \u2062power and authority to \u200cimplement measures \u2064that can stem the flow of illegal immigration and protect both\u2064 American citizens\u200b and migrants.<\/p>\n<p>The release of the \u2062proposed border security bill is an important step in the legislative process, but\u2063 it cannot be\u200c the sole solution. President Biden must work with Congress to \u200bfind a comprehensive, bipartisan approach that addresses the underlying causes of \u2064migration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-thanks-schumer-wants-amnesty-for-11-million-or-however-many-illegal-aliens-are-in-the-u-s\/\" title=\"No, Thanks: Schumer Wants Amnesty For \u201911 Million Or However Many\u2019 Illegal Aliens Are In The U.S.\">strengthens border security<\/a>, and provides a fair and\u200b efficient\u200c system for processing asylum claims. \u200dThe current crisis at the border requires immediate action, and it is up to President Biden to lead the way.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, House Speaker Mike Johnson \u2064is correct in placing blame on President Biden for the border crisis. While legislative efforts can help address the issue, it is the executive action from the president that\u200d will ultimately make a significant impact. President\u2063 Biden \u2063must take responsibility and utilize \u2064his\u200d executive authority to implement measures that\u2064 can effectively solve the crisis and protect the interests of both the American people and those seeking \u200dasylum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) held President Joe Biden responsible for the border crisis, urging him to take action.
