“President Joe Biden on Friday urged Congress to pass a bipartisan bill to address the immigration crisis at the nation’s southern border, while vowing to shut down the border the day he signs it into law,” Politico reports.

Said Biden: “What’s been negotiated would — if passed into law — be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country. 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.”

1. That's a bit of a pickle for those Republicans who want to deny him a 'win' on the border issue. n/t

2. The more publicity this gets the better. I hope it passes.

If it doesn't the GOP House will be shown to be nothing but patsies.

3. Yep. No reason for GOP to be against it, because if Trump should win, he would then have the power to do the same.
