    Well first of all it gives the president the abilty to shut the border down until they figure out what the hell is going on

    Where in the bill is this stated?

    Biden said of the bill, “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.”

    source

    To anyone saying to just go read the bill, I’d love for you to point me to an article that even names the name of the bill in question, let alone links to the full text of the bill. I just spent 10 minutes searching for it and I’m giving up because I have better shit to do.

      Jeeesus, what a fucking scoundrel. Literally just a Republican at this point.

        Right? I didn’t know he’d said he would use the power like that before I’d read the article and I had to double check it was a Biden quote. What an evil fucking ghoul.
