WASHINGTON — President Biden insisted Tuesday that “I’ve done all I can do” to secure the US-Mexico border — prompting House Speaker Mike Johnson to say that the claim was “simply not true.”
“I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I got into office,” the 81-year-old president told a reporter on the White House lawn as he departed for a fundraising jaunt to South Florida.
“Give me the Border Patrol, give me the people, the judges — give me the people who can stop this and make it work right,” he added.
Johnson (R-La.) fired back on X, “That is simply untrue. He’s either lying or misinformed.”
The speaker added: “Here are just a few of the authorities at his disposal – if only he would use them: • Presidential Authority to Restrict Entry 212(f) • Expedited Removal 235(b)(1) • Discretionary Detention Authority 236(a) • Mandatory Detention 236(c). No more excuses.”
Dumb bastard. The border was secure when he took office. He’s the dumb s.o.b. who opened the border
Obiden has done all he can do to make sure the border is OPEN!
