Again, this wouldn't even be an issue if the president would just do his
legally mandated duty and SECURE THE BORDER.

And how's he supposed to do that when the Rs in the House are not

In his first month in office, Biden issued 94 executive orders
facilitating mass illegal alien entry into the country and prohibiting
the Border Patrol from preventing any illegal from entering the U.S.

I don't necessarily disagree, but Trump abused Title 42. It was

He could start with rescinding every one of those executive orders. He
didn't need any Republican cooperation to issue those EOs in the first
place and he doesn't need any Republican cooperation to rescind them now.

Second, under existing law, including the Immigration and Nationality
Act of 1952, the president of the United States has the authority to
turn every single foreign national away at the border if he determines
it's necessary to safeguard the country, to include refugees. There is
no requirement in law or in the Constitution that we entertain millions
of fraudulent asylum claims (or even legitimate asylum claims, as rare
as those may be).

Asylum creates a right in law for a foreign national to claim. I
certainly don't agree with you. Those have to be adjudicated.

There is, nevertheless, an exception in the law that allows the
president to close the border even to asylees if an emergency exists in
his discretion. I'd ask if this current unmitigated chaos doesn't
qualify as an emergency, what would?

   Okay, that made me laugh out loud.

If it was an emergency, they wouldn't have just taken a week off (from relaxing and doing nothing) to relax and do nothing.
Nothing says EMERGENCY!!! like taking ANOTHER tax payer funded vacation.
