Please.” “A bipartisan bill would be good for America and help fix our broken immigration system and allow speedy access for those who deserve to be here, and Congress needs to get it done,” Mr Biden said at the weekend, according to the AP. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has said that any deal similar to what has so far been reported would be “dead on arrival” in the lower chamber, wrote on X that Mr Biden “said ‘I’ve done all I can do’ with executive authority to secure the border. Mr Biden could theoretically severely restrict asylum claims and border crossings, but any measure would likely face court challenges and would probably be blocked or significantly pulled back unless it had the support of new legislation, something which would have to be passed by Congress. When Mr Biden said he would “shut down” the border, he was referencing an expulsion authority which is part of the current negotiations on a possible deal which would automatically be activated on certain days when illegal crossings passed more than 5,000 a day across a five-day average.
