00:00Let Biden take executive action to shut down the border.
00:04I think the administration should pursue every available avenue
00:12to bring about a safe and secure border. We also need a humane
00:20for the best path forward as President Biden and the administration has
00:25articulated is a comprehensively agreed upon legislative proposal
00:33that could move out of the House and the Senate. Unfortunately, we
00:36found ourselves in a situation where the extreme mega Republicans
00:41are taking orders from their puppet master down in Mar-a-Lago
00:47who killed a bipartisan bill designed to address border security
00:52in the United States of America because the extreme mega Republicans
00:56don't want to solve the border security issue. They want to exploit
01:02the border security issue in November.
01:06I do not believe that the Biden administration has given up hope
01:10for a different path forward, but all options should be on the table
01:15in terms of executive action. If it becomes clear that the legislative
01:21avenue has been closed off by Republicans preferring partisan
01:28political stunts over addressing the needs of the American people,
01:33including as it relates to border security. Thank you, everyone.
