According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-big-here-we-go-pentagon-halts-biden-transition-defense-briefings-biden-team-unaware-of-directive\/\" title=\"BREAKING BIG: Here We Go \u2014 Pentagon Halts Biden Transition Defense Briefings \u2014 Biden Team Unaware of Directive\">senior administration officials<\/a>, Biden\u2019s executive order will close the border once the rolling, seven-day average of migrant apprehensions exceeds 2,500 and will remain in effect until the rolling 14-day average falls below 1,500.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans heartily criticized the president\u2019s order Tuesday, even before it was published. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrooked Joe Biden is only pretending to secure the border because he\u2019s tanking in the polls,\u201d Trump\u2019s campaign wrote Tuesday morning. \u201cThis crisis wasn\u2019t borne only from Biden\u2019s extreme weakness and incompetence, it was by design from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, Crooked Joe Biden is pretending<strong> <\/strong>to secure the border with a toothless executive order that allows thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-warns-biden-deport-or-send-unvetted-illegals-to-democrat-run-states-not-florida\/\" title=\"DeSantis Warns Biden: Deport Or Send \u2018Unvetted\u2019 Illegals To Democrat-Run States, Not Florida\">unvetted illegal aliens<\/a> to enter every day,\u201d the statement continues. \u201cIf Biden cared about securing our border, he could have left in place the successful Trump border policies that resulted in the safest and most secure border in history. There\u2019s only one reason that Crooked Joe Biden is cosplaying with border security: his poll numbers are falling like a badly injured bird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson claimed at his Tuesday press conference that Biden\u2019s order \u201cwindow dressing\u201d \u201cmight make [the situation at the border] worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he was concerned about the border, he would have done this a long time ago, and we don\u2019t know what\u2019s in this. The devil will definitely be in the details here,\u201d he told reporters. \u201cIt\u2019s absolute madness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has been nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-move-to-expose-biden-for-flying-in-400000-unvetted-migrants\/\" title=\"Republicans seek to unveil Biden's transport of 400,000 'unvetted' migrants\">10 million illegal crossings<\/a> in just over three years under Biden,\u201d Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) added Tuesday morning. \u201cIn the first three years of Trump, that number was 1.57 million illegal crossings. In the first three years of Obama, that number was 1.36 million illegal crossings.\u00a0Why didn\u2019t Biden do this 10 million migrants ago?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration is planning to legalize at least 4,000 illegal border crossings per day \u2014 no questions asked,\u201d Republican National Committee spokesman Jake Schneider predicted Monday night. \u201cIn 2019, Obama-Biden DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson\u00a0said 1,000 illegal border crossings per day \u2018overwhelms the system. I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000\/day looks like.\u2019 We don\u2019t have to imagine; under Crooked Joe Biden, it\u2019s an everyday reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, progressives also attacked the president for an apparent slide to the right on an emerging top issue for voters ahead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024<\/a> election.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told <em>Semafor<\/em> Monday night that she found Biden\u2019s order \u201cdisappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It] just plays into the idea that somehow harsh enforcement is going to work. That was Trump\u2019s approach,\u201d she claimed. \u201cWe should be showing what the difference is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Nanette Diaz Barragan (D-CA), the chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, similarly told reporters Tuesday that she was \u201cdisappointed\u201d in Biden for caving to the Right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m disappointed that this is a direction that the president has decided to take. We think it needs to be paired with positive actions and protections for undocumented folks that have been here for a long time,\u201d Barragan stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can build a wall as high as you want. You can make it hard to receive asylum if you want,\u201d Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) stated bluntly. \u201cIt\u2019s not going to sustainably reduce the number of people wanting to come to the United States for a number of reasons until you identify and address root causes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Padilla argues that Biden should be touting the slow but steady decline in border apprehensions in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe numbers are down because we\u2019ve engaged with governmental leaders in Mexico,\u201d he claimed. \u201cThat needs to continue and we need to build on that by engaging additional countries in the hemisphere.
