In a recent interview, President Joe Biden stated that he is considering taking administrative actions to secure the southern border.  ,
Have you finalized your plans for an senior get in terms of what you want to accomplish at the border? That includes the authority to shut down the frontier, as it was suggested”, Univision’s Enrique Acevedo asked Biden in an interview that aired late Tuesday night.
” Well, it’s suggested that we’re examining whether or not I have that power”, Biden answered.  ,
” I would have that power under the legislation”, the president continued, referring to the Senate’s$ 118 billion spending bill, which included a measure that would allow the president to close the border after 5, 000 illegal aliens crossed in a single day. That bill was rejected in the Senate in February, and House Republican administration claimed that it would have been useless when it arrived in the lower room.  ,
” There’s no guarantee that I have that strength all by myself without policy”, Biden said in reference to closing the borders, despite what his Republican president, Donald Trump, was able to accomplish through executive orders.
Biden, a Democrat, added that” some have suggested I may just go ahead and test it, and if I get shut down by the court, I get shut down by the court”.
” But we’re trying to work through that proper today”, he said.
According to Forbes, Biden’s senior activity on the southeastern border is not yet last, but it is anticipated by the end of April.
For an executive order has been rumored for days, starting with Biden’s State of the Union speech on March 7 and his border crossing on February 29.
According to the Congressional Research Service, Section 212( f ) of the Immigration and Nationality Act gives the president the authority to” suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens” when the president “finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens would be in harm’s interests of the United States.”  ,
Trump used the authority provided by the Immigration and Nationality Act to carry out laws to secure the frontier and stay illegal aliens on the other side, guidelines that Biden removed by taking executive actions in January of this year.
If Biden decides to act now to secure the borders, he may be acting in accordance with Trump’s instructions and using the authority that the president has under U.S. rules.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, officials have encountered more than 1.1 million improper creatures at the southern border since the start of fiscal year 2024 on October 1. In February, the latest month for which CBP has published figures, agents encountered 189, 922 illegal aliens at the frontier, averaging 6, 549 a day.  ,
