Closing the southern border and mass deportations of illegal immigrants should have become priorities for Biden amid the current standoff between Texas Governor Gregg Abbott and federal authorities, Michael Shannon, a political commentator and Newsmax columnist, told Sputnik | US President Joe Biden has pledged to close the border if it "becomes overwhelmed" should Congress pass a bipartisan immigration bill. In a recent statement, he said the bill, if enacted, would be "the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we've ever had." "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 added. 💬 This document "is solely designed to persuade gullible Republicans to support sending more money to Ukraine in return for non–existent ‘reforms’ at the border," Michael Shannon, a political commentator and Newsmax columnist, told Sputnik.
