    “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,” Biden said in a statement. “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.”

    So Biden wants to give Republican presidents this power too?

    Like, it’s more concerning Biden said he’d do it “day 1”, but every fucking Republican is actually going to do it day 1.

    The only reason I can think of Dems wanting this is so they can say “vote D or Republicans will do this terrible thing we let them do”
