Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emphasized that President Joe Biden has the authority to address the border crisis without congressional legislation, suggesting that Biden could take executive action to stop the crisis immediately, including completing the border fence.
Kennedy’s viewpoint aligns with conservative lawmakers who argue that Biden’s executive orders have contributed to the surge in illegal immigration and that reversing these decisions could resolve the situation.
“I don’t need legislation. If President Biden wanted to stop this, he could stop it overnight. He could complete this fence,” Kennedy said. “I’m not going to need legislation. I’m going to do this by executive order, and I’m going to do it on day one.”
Several Republican senators and candidates have echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need to utilize existing laws and reverse executive orders to secure the border.
“Go back to those executive orders – the laws that are already there – and secure the border,” Kari Lake said.
“President Trump could do this in a week or less but this is a … problem that was created by design by Joe Biden and the Democrats. And I hate to constantly do that and say, ‘Oh, it’s Joe Biden’s fault,’ but it is,” she said.
Polling indicates that a significant portion of Americans support border security measures, with 50 percent in favor of building a southern border wall.
