Biden gets heat from both sides over border security executive order

President Joe Biden received criticism from both Republicans and Democrats Tuesday as the White House announced a new executive order that will shut down the border once the number of illegal migrant apprehensions exceeds 2,500 per day.

The average number of illegal, daily border crossings remained above 4,000 in April, and for months, Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and former President Donald Trump, had called on Biden to use executive authority to close the border.
