That legislation would have put in place a trigger authority for the president to close the border if encounters averaged 4,000 per day over one week. Closing the border would become mandatory at an average of 5,000 per day or if encounters hit 8,500 in a single day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The White House has repeatedly faulted Congress for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-unveils-immigration-housing-and-resettlement-plan-in-funding-request\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Unveils Immigration Housing And \u2018Resettlement\u2019 Plan In Funding Request\">ongoing immigration crisis<\/a> and claimed that congressional action is necessary before the president can close the border. Republicans have challenged the White House\u2019s claim and said that the president has enough authority already to act on the border.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the White House\u2019s message, public opinion on Biden\u2019s handling of the border has sunk deep underwater as illegal immigrants have flooded the country. Immigration is the second most important issue to voters in swing states, according to a New York Times\/Sienna <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/05\/13\/us\/elections\/times-siena-poll-registered-voter-crosstabs.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">poll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  released this week. The president\u2019s approval on the issue is just over 33%, however, and 29 points behind his roughly 63-point disapproval rating, according to the Real Clear Politics <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/approval\/joe-biden\/immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">polling average<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  of the president\u2019s handling of immigration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2019, Jeh Johnson, who served as Homeland Security secretary during the Obama administration, said that a daily encounter average of 1,000 per day would overwhelm Border Patrol.
