Alabama's Republican caucus slammed the White House on Tuesday after the administration's announcement. New administrative measures To address the border crisis, which many argue President Joe Biden's policies have helped create, Biden has issued a new executive order that he says will “help control the border.”

“These steps I'm announcing today will not alone fix our entire immigration system,” Biden wrote in a post, “but they will go a long way to helping us better manage our difficult challenges.”

I wanted to solve our border problems through bipartisan legislation because that's the only way we're going to actually fix our broken system.

But Republicans in Congress gave me no choice.

So today, I am announcing measures to stop migrants from crossing our borders… pic.twitter.com/ScZ2urgoG9

Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said it's a “trick” that doesn't actually solve the problem.

“President Biden's proclamation today confirms that he has had the authority all along to issue executive orders to address the border crisis of his own creation,” she said on X. “It's also a gimmick that includes broad exceptions, including for migrants who use the CBP One app, his administration's one-click entry system. It's past time to end every piece of Biden's mass immigration policy, rather than enabling it.”

It's also a device that includes broad exceptions, including for immigrants who take advantage of the administration's one-click entry system…

“Every community across Alabama is feeling the impact of Joe Biden's open border policies,” Britt said on “Capitol Report.”

Mass immigration has always been an issue for President Biden.

Today’s proclamation, coming as the President does on his 1,231st day in office, further intensifies the use of the same types of loopholes that the current Administration has knowingly and blatantly exploited to fuel and facilitate the Biden border crisis. pic.twitter.com/nSFXL73Rsp

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) told Fox Business it was a “sham show.”

“They think we're stupid,” Tuberville argued. “This is a war against America… This is stupid. The American taxpayers need protection. The people need protection. This is out of control… This is all about the polls. They're going to get killed at the polls. They know it, and they're trying to trick the American people into doing something that's not true.”

Make some popcorn and drink some coke.

This is another dog and pony show. @JoeBiden During an election year.

We need to actually secure the border, not give out mass amnesty.https://t.co/D84oORyCB0

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saxon District) called it “Biden's grand reelection plan.”

“Step 1: Create a massive crisis at the southern border,” Rogers explained on X. “Step 2: Try (and fail) to pin the blame for the crisis on President Trump as hundreds of thousands of Americans die from fentanyl coming through the border. Step 3: Try to put lipstick on that pig with (probably ineffective) executive orders before the election.”

Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said this is just “election season advertising.”

Biden's “border security” executive order is nothing more than election season hype.

He signed 94 executive orders repealing President Trump's border policies, and could have reinstated them all right now, but chose not to. https://t.co/nmI71QsJnK

Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) called on President Biden to pass H.R. 2 if he is serious about border security.

President Joe Biden's executive order to “secure the border” still allows nearly 2 million illegal immigrants into the country each year.

This administration's attempt is simply a pathetic tactic to garner votes in an election year. If Biden truly wanted border security, he would pass HR2, our strongest border bill yet.

Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) noted that Biden has only taken some action on the crisis “five months after Election Day.”

President Biden has finally acknowledged that the situation at the border is a crisis. It's been almost five months since Election Day. It's been a crisis since January 2021. https://t.co/RF5UPggBe4
