Biden will shut down the border the day Congress authorizes it. Biden might have to use executive orders if Congress continues to do nothing, but the courts will limit what can be done without Congress doing something.
Statement from President Joe Biden On the Bipartisan Senate Border Security Negotiations, January 26, 2024
"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."
