    Even if he does have power over the border patrol, as I said with Obama the dea has jurisdiction too and they ignored him.

    As for the border patrol. They don’t have blanket jurisdiction. They operate within 100 miles of the border. So you most definitely aren’t grasping what’s going on nor the bigger picture here.

    The above said, I’m done here because I’m tired of dealing with jokers like you that (hopefully) had a problem with trump and his umpteen executive orders but expect Biden to solve every problem like that. It’s clear some people definitely didn’t learn any of this in school and are just now paying attention and getting enough info or understanding what’s what.

    Have a nice day now.

      The president can start firing people that’s what they can do. Obama letting them ignore him wasn’t a show of their power. It was a show of his unwillingness to do something more.

      RTFA. I’m sorry these thoughts make you uncomfortable or something but it’s absolutely ridiculous to say that the president has no control over Border Patrol and just… idk, pretending they haven’t seized hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal weed grown in NM that never left it? Is there a point to being like that?
