Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

GOP seeks new line of attack after Obama immigration action and Benghazi report




Moderate Republicans urged the party to “move on” from its fixations on immigration reform and Benghazi on Sunday, as Barack Obama continued to defend his decision to circumvent Congress by use of executive action.

The president’s controversial decision on Thursday to grant legal status to 5 million undocumented immigrants has provoked a storm of protest from opponents who claim he overstepped his executive authority.

But Sunday’s political talk shows brought relatively few suggestions for overturning the decision from Republicans, who are also reeling from a report slipped out by the House intelligence committee on Friday that largely exonerated the administration’s handling of the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack – another once-reliable target for criticising Democrats.


Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, another Republican member of the Senate’s original “gang of eight”, also rejected calls from some conservatives to impeach Obama or risk shutting down the government by blocking funding for the measures.


In an interview on ABC, Obama defended his decision on the grounds that presidents often “exercise prosecutorial discretion”, and claimed Republicans risked stalemate if they tried to overturn his order.

“There’s often a lot of rhetoric coming out of Congress, and in Washington. But it doesn’t match up to what I think the American people expect,” he said.

“One of the habits that we’ve seen in Congress over the last four years since the House Republicans took over is that everything becomes hostage to one disagreement. So a couple of years ago it was Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act. And they decided, ‘We’re going to shut down the government because we disagree with this one law.’”

Lindsey Graham is quoted a lot by the establishment media, but he doesn't represent conservatives.  He's a persistent, pesky neocon we don't pay any attention to.

America put Republicans in charge of the Senate because they want action, not capitulation.  Obamacare is just one law, but conservatives unanimously want it repealed -- now.  We tried and tried over the past several years and we are none the worse for the wear for trying.  We got the Senate not because we failed, but because we kept on trying.  Obama pushed it to the point of shutting the government down to keep that "one law" at the expense of funding all others and Graham has no problem with that.  Graham is a gutless lapdog.

If Republicans lose in 2016 it will be because they didn't come out fighting with both barrels in 2015.
