President Joe Biden has refused to take responsibility for the crisis at the southern border and is now blaming a fiasco of his own making on Congress.
The geriatric career politician issued a statement demanding that lawmakers quit dithering and send him a bill cooked up by his allies in the Senate with some border security measures as a part of a larger effort to send tens of billions of dollars more to Ukraine, legislation he pledged to sign.
“It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law,” Biden said of the bill, not bothering to mention that as the nation’s chief executive, he could shut down the border with a stroke of his pen by using one of the executive orders that he is so fond of.
One naysayer who called Biden on his malarkey was billionaire Elon Musk who reacted to the misleader-in-chief’s statement by pointing out that very simple fact.
“No laws need to be passed. All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing. That is how it used to be,” the Tesla/Space X CEO wrote on X, previously known as Twitter.

Musk also shared a post from entrepreneur David Sacks showing a mob of invading illegals and stating that “Biden’s policy is open borders. Everything else is noise.”
“That is undeniable at this point,” the Chief Troll Officer (CTO) wrote.

Musk wasn’t the only one to call out Biden’s disingenuous blame-shifting to gaslight Americans into falsely believing that he doesn’t have the power to shut down the border using the power vested in his office.
“Prove you’re serious about the border crisis by using the authority you already have under current law to secure the border,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said in a response to dear leader.

“They’ve already got power to ‘close the border to migrants illegally crossing the border.’ Isn’t that the whole point of our immigration laws?” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) asked.
According to CNN, the deal says that “if crossings exceed 8,500 in a single day, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants illegally crossing the border.”

“Further, Congress needs to finally provide the funding I requested in October to secure the border. This includes an additional 1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judges, 1,600 asylum officers, and over 100 cutting-edge inspection machines to help detect and stop fentanyl at our southwest border,” Biden said in his statement. “If you’re serious about the border crisis, pass a bipartisan bill and I will sign it.”
It’s been a long, long time since President Harry Truman famously displayed a sign in the Oval Office with the words “The Buck Stops Here” in a reminder that Democrat leaders once took responsibility seriously.
