    MAGAs weren’t inviting migrants and even if they were Biden could have stop them at the border just as Trump is doing.

      Of course they were, how many times a day did we hear the phrase “Biden’s Open Borders?” It wasn’t Dems saying that, they were saying exactly the opposite, but MAGAs had obviously been told to tell that particular Big Lie over and over.

      That’s a standard MAGA strategy. They’ll be doing it again this election, probably something to do with trans in sports or bathrooms, instead of the real issues. And gullible dopes like you will listen to them.

        People have eyes. They saw it in the news. Abbott busing migrants to blue cities. Mayors of these cities pleading for Biden to help because the migrants were overwhelming city services.

      Is that why the republicans in congress torpedoed bipartisan border legislation at trump’s bidding because if it passed then he would have lost his only talking point?

      Republicans only care about the grift, and clearly it’s working on people like you.

        That is the reason Trump stopped the bipartisan border bill, but Biden didn’t need it to stop the flood of migrants. He could have used executive orders. Republicans told him he could.

          Oh, well as long as republicans said it’s okay, then I guess he can disregard the constitutionally defined limits on presidential authority in order to abuse executive orders to accomplish things they’re not intended for, right? Is that really what you’re saying?

          Also, it’s funny how you’re trying to attack Biden over this, even though you openly admit that trump told republicans in congress to kill the legislation specifically because he didn’t want to lose the ability to blame Biden and the Democrats for not doing enough.

            Republicans told Biden that he could use executive orders to stop the flood of migrants. Had Republicans attempted to stop the executive orders in court, Biden could have accused them of wanting open borders.

              Nowhere in the Constitution does it say “All these rules are to be followed, except if your political opposition says it’s okay to break them. Then you can do whatever you want.”

              And Biden (or anyone) could already accuse the republicans of wanting open borders. Because republicans were the ones who torpedoed the border legislation (at trump’s bidding).

              trump wanted open borders, because it gave him something to focus his propaganda on.

                Republican’s explanation was that the bill wasn’t strong enough but had Biden issued an executive order closing the border at least until its under control, what would be Republican’s excuse for challenging it?
