David Brooks: Biden Should Take Executive Action on the Border, He Did on Issues Like Student Loans

EXCERPT:

BROOKS: “And he made the point that, in the early days of the Biden administration, Biden wanted to be anti-Trump on the immigration issue. Everything Trump was for, he was going to be against. So there was a moratorium on deportments — deportations, there was all sorts of other measures. They was going to — get away the remain-in-Mexico, so where they had the hearings in Mexico and not in the U.S. And so they really went sort of in a leftward direction. Mayorkas was trying to fight this the whole time, and now the administration's is pinioned, and he's left hanging out by the Republicans. So, ideally, I agree with Jonathan, that Congress would do — pass that bill that gave Republicans like 60 or 70 percent of what they wanted. But, in absence of that, since Donald Trump's against it, it's not going to happen, I just think it's imperative politically for Joe Biden to do something and see what happens in the courts."
