Biden could fix the migrant ciris in an instant

As writers Ruy Teixeira and John Judis have pointed out for years, the open borders is especially unpopular with working class voters, including the Black and Hispanic working class who know that uncontrolled illegal immigration is pushing down their wages, fattening profits of corporate elites, and driving wealth inequality.   

Let s be clear: President Biden bears the responsibility for the approximately eight million illegal migrant crossings on his watch.  

Republicans are entirely correct that, without any legislation, he has the singular power to fix most of the problem with the stoke of a pen, as Presidents Trump and Obama did effectively.

I fear this is correct. In practice, what it probably means is that a few lefties have captured the policy apparatus inside the West Wing and are calling the shots, and just sending out hard no’s or crafty maybe-but-no’s on all calls for reform. This is always a risk with elderly presidents. I saw something similar happen to Reagan in his last year in office, though it was not nearly so bad.
