Irrelevant. He can say anything. He said he would close the border the day he got the authority, but you made clear you didn't believe him.

The reality of the law is that he couldn't do anything. He actually extended Title 42 as long as he could. And he tried a stunt similar to Trump, and the courts shot it down (just like they did with Trump). The executive is powerless without the legislative giving them the power to do something. And that just died.

Whomever is POTUS next year will face an unlimited number of asylum-seekers without any tools to limit it. You were concerned about 5K per day. Now there will be no limits ever. If it's 50K in a day, nothing we can do. Trump promised a lot of things, and kept almost none of those promises. He's now going to say "I'm going to fix the immigration system", but that's a lie. He can't. Not without congressional action, which will never happen now.

But it does give you a campaign issue for the foreseeable future. And you made the day of the progressive wing (whom wants to address the immigration issue by addressing the problems in the source countries, not at the border). They hated this bill.
