With some Democratic Senators up for re-election running ads attacking President Biden over our open border (both Jon Tester of Montana and Sherrod Brown of Ohio say they “have fought President Biden over the border” in TV spots), there are rumors that Biden is considering an executive order that would shut the southern border every day after 4,000 people have crossed. What a tough guy! It’s amazing how Democratic presidents suddenly discover new executive power they didn’t know existed when they get in political trouble. It certainly sets up some easy ripostes from Trump when and if the debates actually happen.
Apparently this is the first time the data on “gotaways” has been broken out and compiled. Our pal Mark Perry put it in graphic form so dramatize just how uncontrolled the border has become under Biden.
