The Biden administration is preparing an executive action that would allow the president to temporarily shut down the southern border. This comes amid pressure from both sides of the aisle to curb the flow of border crossings. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.

    Climate change about to make this common, and then make it a war.

      “Biden won’t allow barbed wire in the water to deter migrants!!”

      One of the Republican talking heads will give them something to yell.

        I hope not. Democrats would just put in the barbed wire and look at Republicans hopefully, expecting headpats.

      At which point another Trump policy becomes the reasonable moderate policy and we shift to the right.

      Again.

          If we’re damned either way, why choose a Trump policy?

            Trump isn’t president.

            Also, there was a bipartisan bill that Trump himself told his minions to shoot down because it would give Biden a win. So idk wtf you’re going on about. We get it, biden bad.

                  Shutting down the border is Trump policy. You don’t even remember that far back? Does Biden enacting it make it retroactively good?
