None of this really matters though. Trumps already told republicans not to vote for any bill regarding border control, because he wants to campaign on it over the next year.
He wants the border crisis to be as bad as possible so he can convince voters he’s the only one that can fix it. Therefore nothing of significance will pass.

It’s a fact and you know it as well as I do.

Biden used the same power to force the border open that he could use to force it closed.
While you certainly can argue what incentivizing looks like, to make this Trumps fault is still stupid silly.

Look at the stats, less people crossed under Obama than Trump.
Truth is, the border crisis has been an issue for over 40 years plus. No one president can fix it without extreme measures, which would involve arresting patriotic American citizens that hire illegals. No one is going to do that… therefore the problem will never be fixed.
Best thing a president can accomplish is passing a few bills to give the illusion they’re doing something about it.
America has an addiction to cheap labor. No wall or extra security is going to change that fact.
Even if he did in reality have the power to shut down the border, why would he?

Point being, he does. Did you somehow miss that?
Now, why would he? Because he is shaming congress for not voting the "border bill" as recently as.....today.

Saw a video where Al Sharpton is calling it an invasion at the border, but still blaming Republicans because they won't pass this horrible bill.
