THE STATESMAN - THE SHOWMAN AND THE BORDER CRISIS - WHERE IS CONGRESS?

Watching the current President and former President at the U.S.-Mexico Border, in different locations and with different people, but on the same day, highlighted how different Biden and Trump are. Biden is a Legislative Nerd. After years in the Senate, that's how his mind works. And Trump is Marketing, thinking about his Message. The two presidential candidates have different approaches to solving the border crisis. Biden is working to get the Comprehensive Bi-Partisan Border Bill passed. Trump wants no such thing. But he is refining his "catchy border slogan." Experts agree that "Executive Action" to "Close the Border" by President Biden would be challenged in the courts, as it was under Trump and overturned. So when you hear critics say, "Biden just needs to take action." Remember, it would just be a waste of time. We need Congress to do its job! Here's why. Legally, Congress is in control of the Budget, "The Power of the Purse," Workers on the Border say they need staff to handle the flood of immigrants and to handle potential threats from Cartels. It's up to Congress. Period.
