The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What is this BS Biden is going through proper channels to close the border? LOL.

As I've asked before, what "channels" do you believe exist to "close" the border that Biden could avail himself but isn't? Again, none of those migrants are illegally in the U.S. Since asylees are permitted legally to remain in the U.S. pending the resolution of their claims, and since Congress hasn't authorized the resources either to speed up the immigration courts or to keep all of the adult asylees in detention camps for years (while also housing and keeping track of their minor children outside of that system), there's not a ton of things that can be achieved administratively. The administration lacks the legal authority to use force to physically repel asylees from the border, or to construct physical barriers in many (most) of the places that such barriers don't currently exist, or the funds to do any of that.

But I'm curious what you think are the channels that should be exercised here?
