Four months ago, after weeks of intense negotiation between my staff, Democrats and Republicans, we came to a clear, clear bipartisan deal, the strongest border security agreement in decades,\u201d he stated in a nationally televised address. \u201cThen, Republicans in Congress all but walked away from it. Why? Because Donald Trump told them to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Biden does run the risk here of further alienating the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which has already taken serious issue with the president\u2019s handling of the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The American Civil Liberties Union said Tuesday that it plans to sue the Biden administration to block the implementation of the order, arguing it takes \u201cthe same approach as the Trump administration\u2019s asylum ban.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, liberal lawmakers, including Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Ro Khanna (D-CA), joined immigration activists for a press conference on Capitol Hill to \u201cdenounce President Biden\u2019s harmful and xenophobic executive action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the immigration policy that our country needs. It violates human rights. It goes against American values of welcome,\u201d the coalition wrote in a statement. \u201cIt is not a solution for the challenges we face at our border. He should reverse the action immediately and work to expand access to lawful pathways and restore access to asylum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senior administration officials argue that Biden\u2019s order in no way mirrors Trump\u2019s immigration bans, as the president has specifically carved out exceptions to the rule for \u201clawful permanent residents, unaccompanied children, victims of a severe form of trafficking, those who face an acute medical emergency or an imminent and extreme threat to life and safety, and other non-citizens who have a valid visa or some other lawful permission to enter the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <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> say that, when in effect, the order will not apply to immigrants \u201cwho use a safe and orderly process such as the CBP One mobile application to enter the United States at a port of entry in an orderly manner or pursue another lawful pathway to come to the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But not all Democrats reacted negatively to the order. A number of Democratic lawmakers from Southwest and Western states have ramped up calls for the president to address the border in recent months, and a group from that region, including Rep. Mike Levin (D-CA) and Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), lauded Biden for taking action on the border.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ), the New Democrat Coalition Immigration and Border Security Task Force chairman, was one of the lawmakers who joined the president at his Tuesday announcement and later claimed that \u201cBiden is taking decisive, commonsense action to restore order at the southern border at a time when Congressional Republicans continue to use it as a political football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several Democratic lawmakers from Eastern states additionally backed Biden\u2019s order, including Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and his allies reacted to Biden\u2019s order, which had been rumored to be in the pipeline for weeks, by seeking to frame it as both not doing enough to stem the flow of immigrants into the country and a hail mary attempt to salvage Biden\u2019s underwater approval ratings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrooked Joe Biden has totally surrendered our Southern Border,\u201d\u00a0Trump posted on Truth Social.\u00a0\u201cMillions of people have poured into our Country\u2014and now, after nearly four years of his failed, weak leadership, Crooked Joe Biden is pretending to finally do something about the border \u2014 but in fact, it\u2019s all for show because he knows we have a debate coming up in 3 weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has insisted for months that the president address the border crisis through executive action, but he and the remainder of the House Republican leadership team called Biden\u2019s order an \u201celection-year stunt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden\u2019s Executive Order is nothing more than a desperate political stunt to try and stabilize his plummeting poll numbers,\u201d the statement reads. \u201cThis Executive action does nothing to end parole abuses or catch-and-release.\u00a0It continues the administration\u2019s abuse of the CBP One app. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt does not reimplement President Trump\u2019s successful Remain in Mexico policy,\u201d it continues. \u201cIt\u00a0provides no new resources for border patrol.\u00a0It does nothing to deport the millions who have poured over our open border every year since Biden took office.
