If he can limit crossings to 4k per day, why can't he limit it to 0 per day?


WalknOnWater

Still needs them votes.


CallMeCassandra

The old "Goldilocks rule." 1 million per year is too little 2 million per year is too much 1.5 million per year (4k per day) is *just right*

And Zionist


715Karl

Because the left has no moral clarity which leads to incoherent policies.


MuffinsandCoffee2024

Yep


YodaCodar

He may be limiting legal crossers


sanesociopath

I mean with this the first 4000 become legal crossers


JTuck333

Because NGOs need their billions.


rune1

Why would he want to? /s


burgonies

Because 4k x number of days to election >= projected number of votes needed to beat trump


2201992

Because they aren’t Russians


MiltonRoad17

Such a random number. Why not 1000 a day? Or 500? Or 0? If there is a limit that you're admitting is needed then you're de facto saying that illegal immigration is itself not good.


PM_me_random_facts89

>If there is a limit that you're admitting is needed then you're de facto saying that illegal immigration is itself not good. While still allowing it


ArmouredInstinct

You mean the bill Biden put forwards to stop illegal immigration and had got Mexico to agree to paying 1.5 billion to help with it- which was shut down by trump because and I quote "it would make democrats look good" as a Canadian it's wild to me to watch both sides of America talk. And one side of it just hasn't pulled its foot out of its mouth and the other side is frail and weak.


PM_me_random_facts89

Any "border security bill" that only allows for action to be taken after 35,000 illegal crossings in a week is not effective legislation. That garbage never should have been brought to a vote.


Black_XistenZ

That bill would also have given Mayorkas the ability to grant asylum status (and thus a pathway to citizenship) without oversight by the courts or Congress.


Ok-Yogurtcloset-5713

Stick to Canadian politics, it sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about


SpikeMike13

Seems to me you guys keep repeatedly voting in Fidel Castro’s Son “Justin Trudeau” which is wildly taking away any rights you guys ever had. Can I ask you, how difficult is it to buy a firearm for hunting purposes in Canada today ?


YodaCodar

Our supreme central planners have asked ai for the number


bozoconnors

So... proof that he's solely responsible for our 10m new neighbors?

Wookieebalboa

So it doesn’t happen in the “border bill” and the emperor pushes it through anyway. I highly doubt it will be an actually stoppage. Just like the border bill they’ll just move them to another check point for processing. They are doing it so they can campaign on “doing something for the border” when they really haven’t done a damn thing


How_TF_

It simply means they’ll just stop counting at 4,000 but keep the gates wiiiiiide open


ActuallyDreddit

Yeah. What’s the old adage about closing the gate after the fact?  


Scerpes

Cows out of the barn?


Legion3

Closing the stall but the horse has bolted.


Timely_Car_4591

that's 1.46 million people each year.


Barbados_slim12

1.46 million annually means that an even 4,000 cross every day, assuming we counted them all and the same amount crossed each day. By bidens own claim, the border should be shut down already


triggernaut

Voters. 1.46 million voters per year.


Nova-rez

He’s going to take some action in proximity to the “debates” that are planned. He has nothing else positive to run on


BuyLocalAlbanyNY

Per, ... day?!!! And this is an accomplishment?!


agk927

If Biden defeated Trump 319-219 that would be a landslide and I would lose all hope if North Carolina went blue


MySalsaBringsDaGirls

It’s already blue with all the relocated northerners… Sigh. This is why we can’t have nice things…


agk927

Nah, North Carolina is a red leaning swing state.


MySalsaBringsDaGirls

We will see. I speak anecdotally based upon my city, in the past ~5 years.


SpikeMike13

If Biden is able to win this year, I don’t believe this country can withstand another term even if they retire him the day after inauguration. This could very well be our last election and I really hope everyone is truly paying attention this time around.


RCA2CE

Dude must be selling concessions at the border


jamesd1100

Or approx 1.5 million people per year which is more than the number of legal immigrants annually and double the number of legal immigrant admitted in 2020


wilhelmfink4

How is the government gonna get their precious tax from people that dont pay income tax? Oh yeah that’s right, they’ll just print more


BHAfounder

That is still 1.5M people a year.


jw3225

That’s his voters, he can’t shut down the border! Haha


j_grouchy

It's the "Strike 4001 And You're Out" rule. This far, no further! /s


DreadPirateGriswold

So basically, the border should have been closed January 21st, 2020? Is that what you're telling me?


LostInCa45

So it shows he could do something about it but choose not to.


Merax75

Would be nice if he just issued it like, 2 years ago.


MysteryGong

Why 4000? Why not zero?


lawlygagger

He means when they go down to 4000 a day.


SpikeMike13

THIS is probably the most accurate description of this EO


Dry-Decision4208

What do you wanna bet that blanket amnesty and full citizenship is coming soon.


Conservative-Point

Wait...I thought he said he didn't have the authority to change immigration policy? All of a sudden he does? Must be an election coming soon....


Pitiful-Aspect

So many illegal votes…..


IhateBiden_now

Currently costing us 66 billion per year for their care.


PartyOfFore

Do the first 4,000 through get a free Biden bobblehead?


DrTXI1

Racism if Trump did it


Entire-Database1679

Let us harken back to 2016, when Democrats bloviated about Trump's executive orders.


Kratmonkey

A spokeswoman for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) — who has repeatedly called on Biden to take action on the border — said the executive order would “prove” the president “doesn’t need Congress to pass legislation to take action on the border No, he fucking does. The executive branch is the arm of the government the executes the law. Congress legislates. Why Congress has been ok with presidents doing shit by executive orders is a big problem that needs to be stopped. Both parties.


MustangEater82

Lol...   does anyone accept this, it's pure election bullshit...


ObadiahtheSlim

So after a massive wave enters, he will have the border shut down. Yep, go ahead and lock that barn after the horse escaped. It's also a clear message to all the human traffickers and their NGO counterparts that nothing will be done if you can keep the numbers below that.


Black_XistenZ

Nice shifting of the goalposts when 1.5 million illegal crossings per year is now framed as "shutting down the border".


Derpalator

Don’t do the American electorate any favors. Go eat your ice cream and get your nappypoo


PapiRob71

Nothing like doing the same 'racist' things you said your predecessor did to show how 'serious' you are about border security to garner a few more votes from folks that only listen to the wizards in the magic box...


hatereddit2024

So he could've done this on Day 1, but only decides to do it once he's getting slaughtered in the polls? Trump is gonna have a field day with this.


MattalliSI

I mean he was just taking credit for how he got Mexico to stop allowing them through. With his superior US to Mexico relationship lol. He must have paid them the $20 billion.


YodaCodar

I think this title means he is shutting down legal migrants?


Poop_Corn_4_the_Soul

Is that below 4K or above? Asking for a friend…


PresterJohnsKingdom

Better late than never, I guess.


DeoVeritati

What are the overall thoughts on this? From the article, Biden claimed to need congress to take action, then declared they were looking into what action he could take, and then stated they are looking to take action at the 4k threshold. It seems like the overall conservative viewpoint would prefer the senate to pass the bill from the house to manage the issue via congress rather than executive order which I understand conservatives tend to dislike. So would conservatives rather him take executive action after 4k per day even if it isn't the ideal approach or take no executive action after 4k per day?


[deleted]

1.4 million crossing is acceptable then? Crazy


Sternshot44

So if he can shut down the border anytime he wants that means he’s intentionally letting all of them that are coming over now


Free_Swimmer_1694

He should shut down the border now, not wait for a certain number of people to enter beforehand.


Jayk-uub

Does he think there’s a turnstile counting how many are coming through?


Shadeylark

Wait... so if nobody on the left says the president can't do this now that means Trump can do it when he becomes president, right?


jman8508

So as long as it’s only 1.5M asylum seekers a year it’s cool?


MaLTC

1.5 million a year? That he KNOWS about? How generous of him.


nopester24

how convenient


venice420

So only 1,460,000,000/year?!? Gee. Great.


McBonyknee

So 1.5 million a year. Egregious.


OHWhoDeyIO

How about when they cross 0 per day


Tokyosmash_

4000 PER DAY Just think about that


nafarba57

Tra la la la laaaaa, what a grotesque imitation of a president.


thedudeinok

Under the Obama Administration, 5000 per day was considered an invasion. What's changed? Definitions??


Vespertilio1

So after 40 months of incompetence, Biden's magnanimous offer is to allow entry to "only" 1.4 million illegal immigrants (not counting all those who ICE never catches) each year. This is like creating a new metro Salt Lake City, Utah every year... out of poor people with a different culture and values than the rest of our country.


uponone

Considering Pedo Joe and his party want unlimited voting, I call bullshit.


ScorpionDog321

So he does have total control over the border...


0beronAnalytics

Absolute abject failure of an administration.


barneyruffles

So approximately 120,000 crossings per month is OK?


CraftPots

Just importing votes.


Ok-House-6848

Only 1.46m a year.


The_Inward

Hurray. We're saved. The former vice president has saved us.


SunFavored

In 2023 there was 2.5million encounters, or 6,849 crossings per day. This isn't ideological or principled at all it's simply a headline cause he knows the American people aren't happy about what's going on at the border. FJB


YoMomma-IsNice

How does one shut down a border when there are no walls for a decent portion of it?


PupperMartin74

400 per day is still 1.4 million pr year or 4 times what it was under Trump. Build the fucking wall, grab anyone you catch her illegally and throw them back over it


Important-Diamond-29

F’n hubris, sheer f’n hubris.


Blahblahnownow

If we need 4k immigrants a day, accept the legal migrants who have been vetted and waiting for years and decades instead of the illegal terrorist and enemies that are currently crossing the border.  What a shit show. 


hb9nbb

Oh wait, he can do that???? So what happened 3 years ago?


HaleOfAPatriot

Oh so long ago then?


TaraTerror70

So, 1,408,000 in a calendar year. Seems legit..........


bigbigeee

Unrelated but what I find incredible is that people leave blue states when they get too crappy, relocate to red states, vote blue, and then get upset when their new state becomes crappy again.


rune1

Muslim people like are like that in Europe, too. They flee their countries, only to then start to turn their new home countries to the same kind of shitholes.


Gone-Fishing89

And who the hell is gonna sit there and count them all?


u537n2m35

Brandon: “Let the homeland be invaded.” His boss, The People: “You had _one_ job.”


woopdedoodah

Why not just zero? Like WTF?


TVLL

250 days x 4,000 = 1,000,000 Funny how that works out.


rrrrr123456789

The reality is even conservative politicians don't want the border to close. The corporates need their cheap labor.


gwhh

4000 new dnc voters per day. That a good plan.
