The Issue: Reports President Biden is weighing an executive order to shut down the US-Mexico border.
What good would President Biden’s executive order be to limit the number of migrant crossings to 4,000 per day (“Overdue order on border,” May 16)?
That comes out to almost 1.5 million per year! Since he reversed Trump’s immigration policies, millions of unvetted migrants have entered the country.
All Biden has managed to accomplish as president is to leave an abhorrent challenge for the next president.

What happens if the number of migrants crossing the border holds back at 3,999 a day? We end up feeding, clothing, schooling, housing and paying the doctor’s bills of millions of people a year anyway.
I cannot fathom why the Biden administration thinks this is a good idea.

Our president has already allowed millions of illegal immigrants into America. No more should be allowed until those who immigrated here illegally are deported, and those who came legally become American citizens.

I cannot believe Biden. He is losing because of two issues. One is inflation — which is annoying for the rich and poor. Biden needs advice from a former Trump official to figure it out, since when Trump left office it was lower than today.
The second is immigration: If Biden had brains, he would close the border completely with the military. Problem solved. He shouldn’t hold off if the number of crossings winds up below 4,000 a day.

Now there are rumors of an executive order to partially close the southern border and limit the migrants to “only” 4,000 a day.
Biden is basically admitting his border policies have ruined our country since he took office.
The polls forced his hand. His action won’t work at this point. It will only give Trump more ammo.

President Biden sees his cratering ratings. So now to up his popularity after three years he wants to only let 4,000 migrants per day cross the Mexican border into America.
He lied about not having the power to relieve the border crisis.

Only 4,000 per day — or 1.5 million annually? It’s better than nothing, I guess.

The Issue: Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s musical turn during a recent visit to Ukraine.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken went to Ukraine and played Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World,” apparently without paying attention to the lyrics — as it’s really an anti-American song (“Rockin’ Blink is ‘tone-deaf’,” May 15).
Then he effectively gave support to not hold elections, since President Volodymyr Zelensky has suspended certain political opposition parties, taken control of the media and shut down Russian-affiliated churches.
Another stellar effort at saving democracy. I guess I need somebody to remind me exactly what “democracy” is. We are so intent on protecting it we’re willing to canceling elections.

In Kyiv, Blinken bounces around a stage in a bar playing a steel guitar at a time when the world is in turmoil — politically, militarily and economically. Imagine Secretaries of State John Foster Dulles, Colin Powell or Jim Baker pulling such a “Guitar Man” stunt.
