As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border –\u00a0but only if\u00a0<\/strong>if Congress passes a bipartisan bill\u00a0t<\/strong>hat would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan,\u00a0and would<\/strong>\u00a0still allow as many as 150,000 illegal crossings per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“If that bill were the law today I’d shut down the border right now<\/strong>\u00a0and fix it quickly and bring a bipartisan bill that would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here,” Biden said, according to\u00a0Fox News<\/em>‘\u00a0Chad Pergram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Except, as many have pointed out,\u00a0Biden doesn’t need Congress, or the bill, to do that\u00a0right now<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we\u00a0noted yesterday<\/a>, House Speaker Mike Johnson debunked the claim, saying “President Biden falsely claimed yesterday<\/strong>\u00a0he needs Congress to pass a new law to allow him to close the southern border, but he knows that is untrue.”<\/p>\n

“As I explained to him in a letter late last year, and have specifically reiterated to him on multiple occasions since,\u00a0he can and must take executive action immediately to reverse the catastrophe he has created,<\/strong>” Johnson continued.<\/p>\n
