| Mike Johnson adamant Biden has authority to act on border crisis |
| 2024-02-05 |
| [Washington Examiner] House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) placed blame for the border crisis on President Joe Biden, insisting the president should act on solving the crisis as Senate negotiators are slated to release the text of their proposed border security bill on Sunday. Johnson put the ball in Biden’s court to act on the border, arguing he has the authority to enact measures the House GOP has pursued through its H.R. 2 bill, which has not been considered by the Senate while speaking on NBC News’s Meet the Press on Sunday. "I have been saying what the requirements are to fix the problem. I don’t care if they call the legislation HR 2 or not. What we’re saying is you have to stem the flow. The President has executive authority right now, as Congress does this negotiation and the debate and discussion," Johnson said. "The President could stop at section 212 F of the Immigration and Nationality Act [which] the Supreme Court has already acknowledged gives the President broad executive authority. He could close the border literally overnight," he added. When pressed on whether it is their obligation to voters to pass legislation, noting that executive action on the border under the Trump administration faced lengthy court battles, Johnson reiterated that the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2 in 2023. |

| #9 ^They are against Israel - and against Bibi because he's effective in opposing them. Mutatis mutandis (USA instead of Israel) why they hate Trump. |

| #8 Biden says Netanyahu is a "bad Fu*king guy," report Grom, I'm pretty sure Biden's problem is not with Israel but with Netanyahu because Netanyahu is too much like Trump and not on board with the globalist agenda. That could be the reason Biden and Obama give Iran a pass. |

| #1 Neither Biden or the Deep State have any intention of closing the border. I'm not at all certain anyone in Washington wants it closed. An open border is 'fig leaf' for Washington economic failure. It's also a pit an incoming Republican president will somehow, have to dig himself out of. |
