If you love reading the Daily Caller, [please consider joining us today.]( [JOIN US!]( REAL BIG NEWS As Americans Reel From Invasion, Biden Twists The Knife Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese [has the details]( on how Biden is making the border invasion much worse, even during a tense election year: President Joe Biden’s White House announced new initiatives Tuesday that will protect thousands of illegal immigrants living in the U.S., according to a press release. Biden’s latest move will direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to grant protections to about 500,000 illegal immigrant spouses and children of U.S. citizens, officials told Politico. The president also announced plans to allow “DACA recipients and Dreamers” to obtain work visas rather than temporary work authorization, the White House press release states. The president took executive action June 4 in an effort to address the migrant crisis after claiming for months that he did not have the power to introduce such initiatives. “President Biden believes that securing the border is essential. He also believes in expanding lawful pathways and keeping families together, and that immigrants who have been in the United States for decades, paying taxes and contributing to their communities, are part of the social fabric of our country,” the White House press release states. The earlier executive action pauses new asylum requests after the number of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border hits a daily average of 2,500 over the span of a week. Requests can resume once the average falls to 1,500. “Individuals who cross the southern border unlawfully or without authorization will generally be ineligible for asylum, absent exceptionally compelling circumstances, unless they are accepted by the proclamation,” a senior administration official told reporters about the June 4 executive action. The upshot for conservatives, or just any American who's concerned with the Border, which is basically everyone, is that Biden's plan is likely unconstitutional. [Lawsuits incoming]( Speaking Tuesday at a White House event commemorating the 12-year anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, Biden unveiled his own executive order laying out a plan to give deportation protection, work permits and a pathway to legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant spouses. Those eligible must have lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years, be legally married to a U.S. citizen and be ultimately approved by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The illegal immigrants approved under the order will have three years to apply for permanent residency, allowing them to remain in the U.S. and gain work authorization. But like DACA, the action is set to face legal challenges from conservative groups and immigration hawks, who say the executive order is unconstitutional and inappropriately interprets its underlying statute. “This is nothing but an attempt to create an amnesty by abuse of the parole authority,” Matt O’Brien, director of investigations for the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) and a former immigration judge, said. “Rather than stopping the worst border crisis in history, President Biden has overreached his executive authority to use an unconstitutional process, circumventing voters and their elected representatives in Congress, to send a message that amnesty is available to those who enter illegally into the United States,” James Massa, CEO of NumbersUSA, said in a statement. HOT OFF THE PRESS The Last Laugh: Former President Donald Trump [will have the final words]( in the first presidential debate, CNN announced Thursday. President Joe Biden’s campaign won the coin toss and chose where Biden would stand on the stage. As a result, Trump’s campaign got to choose who spoke last — an interesting decision from the incumbent, to put it mildly. Hopefully, we'll get some fireworks on debate night, June 27. Meat State: The Deep State is now forcing American military members to eat lab-grown meat. U.S. veterans who spoke with the Daily Caller [sounded off]( on the new push from the Pentagon, with one vet slamming the government for turning servicemen into "experimental lab-rats" despite a plethora of national security threats. "I think the government should focus on letting the military protect our nation from enemies, foreign and domestic, sometimes, but you know, that’s what the military is there for,” Martin Bailey, a former U.S. Special Forces member, told the Caller. “They’re not there to be experimental lab-rats.” Oakland Blues: Democratic Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is [facing a recall election]( this November after crime spiked in the city since she took office. The "Recall Sheng Thao" effort received enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, with the city clerk's office verifying 40,000 signatures, meeting the 25,000-signature threshold. Crime in Oakland skyrocketed in 2023, when Oakland lacked a police chief for nearly a whole year, with a city-wide crime report showing motor vehicle theft was up 44%, robbery up 38%, violent crime up 21% and overall crime up 17%. TRENDING [Watch the full video here]( FOR THE RECORD Silent Treatment: After years of working to suppress conservatives in America, Joy Behar and Rachel Maddow are suddenly panicking. If Trump wins in November, they say, he will use his power as president to cancel their shows. Some irony is certainly lost on Behar and Maddow, as the left has been far more complicit in the suppression of speech than any conservatives. Daily Caller reporter Rob McGreevy has more [details](. Carville Collusion: Democratic strategist James Carville is [practically begging]( President Joe Biden to deliver pithy talking points to the media to give them blanket coverage. “This is where I fault the White House ... Tell us what negative to accentuate. And then you can have some kind of enforcement mechanism. Hopefully, we get this in the debate, that there’s a coherent line of attack coming out of Biden against Trump, so that we can all pick it up. But then one segment on MSNBC is in one place, the Times columnist, you know, Krugman, is in another place and E. J. Dionne somewhere else and Eugene Robinson is over there. And it’s ten different people in ten different places and that’s not effective,” the famous strategist said.
