Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s executive action on the border as “meaningless,” telling Newsmax on Tuesday that it’s nothing more than a “public relations executive order” with the election five months away.
“He’s poisoning our country,” Trump said on “Greg Kelly Reports.”
Biden issued the order earlier Tuesday, a move that takes effect at midnight Tuesday and shuts down the southern border once illegal crossings reach 2,500 a day, which is already above the threshold. However, it was reported that the written exceptions in Biden’s action would still allow almost 1.8 million migrants into the U.S. per year.
“First of all, it’s a nothing that he did and allowing massive numbers of people still to come in, and it’s just misinformation, disinformation, and just another hit job,” Trump told Kelly.
Further, it lacks the teeth of his executive orders that Biden undid in 2021 and that of the House border legislation called H.R.2.
“And frankly, this should have been done 3½ years ago, but something meaningful like the one that Congress passed or we wanted Congress to pass, which was basically my things, having to do with the stay in Mexico, called Remain in Mexico, and catch-and-release in Mexico, not in the United States,” Trump told Kelly. “No, this is a public relations executive order, and it’s meaningless, meaningless.

Published June 5, 2024
- President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced an immigration authority that will allow the administration to ban asylum seekers who cross the US-Mexico border illegally.
- The new executive action bars migrants who cross illegally from seeking asylum – a departure from decades-long protocol – once a daily threshold is met, unless individuals meet certain exemptions. The measure could be turned on and off and would be lifted when there’s a daily average of fewer than 1,500 encounters between ports of entry, officials said. The action is set to take effect at midnight ET.
- The ACLU said it intends to file a lawsuit to stop the executive action from going into effect.
- The move was an attempt to address one of Biden’s most urgent political problems in his reelection push. It comes just weeks before the first debate between the president and his opponent, former President Donald Trump. It is the same authority Trump tried to use in office.

Published June 4, 2024
President Joe Biden announced an Executive Order related to people seeking asylum at the southern border on Tuesday during a White House ceremony.
Of course, the actual plan had a lot less teeth than what was previewed, and Biden’s announcement was mostly rhetoric with a bit of policy mixed in.
While announcing his plan, Biden blamed Republicans in Congress and Donald Trump for the inaction at the border and acted as if he’s been trying mightily to secure it for his whole presidency.
