Biden Considers Executive Order to Address Border Crisis Ahead of SOTU

In a shift from previous claims of limited authority, President Biden is reportedly planning to use executive power to significantly reduce migrant flow into the U.S. before his State of the Union address.

Overview

  • President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to issue an executive order to dramatically reduce the influx of migrants at the U.S. border.
  • This move contradicts previous assertions by the Biden administration that the border crisis was under control and that the president's hands were tied.
  • The decision to use executive authority comes amid criticism and increased scrutiny following a special counsel's report on Biden's age and mental acuity.
  • The potential executive order is seen as a response to political pressures and aims to shift blame for the border crisis away from the administration.
  • Legal tools such as Section 1182(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provide the president with the authority to suspend entry of aliens deemed detrimental to U.S. interests.
