Pressure is mounting on Biden to issue executive orders to address the border crisis after he rescinded many Trump-era border executive orders upon taking office. Biden unilaterally ended the border emergency that Trump had implemented after he took office in January 2021 as well.

This is renewed crisis of his own making. He thinks he needs congressional action so he can say, “See, I told you it was the Congress, the whole time!”

Why would they want to better secure the border when they’ve been denying there has been a border security problem for years?

Biden caused this by stopping legal Trump policy.
