Am surprised Biden hasn't thought of this...

@DavidT8899 So exactly how would it have made it worse?

While you're looking for that, you may also want to ask yourself why Trump tried to use that authority at the southwest border, but was blocked by the courts. I see, you didn't know that. Heard of our judicial system.

Look up what happened In 2018, when Trump tried to block people from seeking asylum if they crossed the southern border illegally, but the courts stopped him, citing a provision of the law that affords anyone on U.S. soil — no matter how they got there — the right to seek asylum.

A president doesn't have the unilateral authority to shut down the border. No matter what Trump says. Or the GOP. Or you.

@Roundandroundwego The right-and need- of a country to have sovereign borders is one that you keep trying to deny.

@DavidT8899 you don't get to set up illegal checkpoints and rules just to be a sovereign country. You need free and fair elections, certainly nothing like what Americans have instead.

@Roundandroundwego First of all,what does a border have to do with elections?Please stay on point.And yes,you DO get to set up "checkpoints and rules'to be your own country.THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COUNTRY gets to decide who does and doesn't come in!

@CountScrofula You're right on the money with that.

@NativePortlander1970 this deserves best comment.

@robingoodfellow Thank you
