For more than three years President Biden and his Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have told the country they do not have the power to stop the flow of migrants entering the country unlawfully unless Congress passes new laws. Funny how Biden had no problem using his power to cancel former President Trump’s border restrictions by executive order, but as the election nears, Biden has suddenly discovered the power to do something after all.

President Biden has signed an executive order that appears to be nothing short of amnesty. The order will supposedly “cap” the number of migrants at 2,500 per day (they will still cross the border and break current immigration laws). Will the president also “cap” the amount of Fentanyl and other drugs and the number of human traffickers, criminals and terrorists who appear to be slipping in? These “got-aways” may never be identified or caught, unless they commit new crimes.
