For three years, Biden, Mayorkas and the Democrats insisted the border was secure. Still, when that lie became unsustainable they tried to find a way to blame Republicans for the mess this White House intentionally created on day one:
Karine Jean-Pierre (@PressSec) ~ You’ve heard from the President, we must act. Speaker Johnson and House Republicans should provide the Administration with the authorities and resources to secure the border. @Morning_Joe

"The White House can't enact new policies without funds," NBC News reported not all that long ago:
NBC News (@NBCNews) ~ President Biden and Republicans are locked in a standoff over the border.
The White House can't enact new policies without funds, and Republicans are unwilling to provide money after blocking a bipartisan bill that would boost resources at the border.

Nah, the drooling moron just needs to reverse all of his idiotic executive orders he instituted in the first few days of his term.
Biden's numbers on the border (and everything else) are still dismal, so the White House must recognize that it's time to pretend they care about border security. As a result, a pivot appears to be taking place:
NBC News (@NBCNews) ~ The Biden administration is considering taking action without Congress to make it harder for migrants to pass initial screening for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border and quickly deport recently arrived migrants who don’t meet the criteria, officials say.

We won't count on the media to point out that Biden could have done something whenever he wanted, but nobody at the White House wanted to.
Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) ~ Did you ask Joe what happened in January 2021 that caused border patrol to start releasing huge numbers of aliens into the United States???
Biden, day one, January 20th, 2021:
Proclamation on the Termination Of Emergency With Respect To The Southern Border Of The United States And Redirection Of Funds Diverted To Border Wall Construction
Brandon threw out the "Welcome Mat" to illegal foreign invaders on the very first day of his term and has left it there ever since.
If this White House returns to any measures that were in place under Trump they most certainly won't phrase it that way.
Frieza, Most Powerful Being In the Universe (@haz_beard) ~ That thing he said he couldn't do, he suddenly can, eh? 🤔
Funny how that works, right?

It's just maddening.
Well, Democrats and their enablers in the lamestream propaganda media are shameless liars, so ...
