马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。周日，他敦促国会共和党人达成一项全面协议移居今年早些时候一项法案被否决后。
沃伦是美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)连任竞选的国家顾问委员会成员，她为总统拼凑的行政行动进行了辩护，此前她声称共和党人通过阻止加强边境安全的两党立法等方式屈服于前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)。
“现在，乔·拜登正在利用他可以利用的工具，尽他所能去做。但是请记住，有一个协议已经敲定。在我看来，它只有必要的一部分，但它是一个两党协议。我们就差两天就要投票了，唐纳德·特朗普说不，共和党人走开了，”沃伦告诉《本周》联合主播玛莎·拉达兹。
“如果国会和共和党继续阻止他，他就无法应对，”当被问及拜登领导下的边境担忧与特朗普领导下的边境担忧相比有所上升时，她补充道。“因此，总统正在利用他可以利用的工具，既创造边境安全，但他没有资源，因为共和党人正在阻止进入。”
根据美国海关和边境保护局汇编的数据，在拜登任期内，迄今已有超过690万次边境逮捕。根据CBP汇编的数据，特朗普执政四年期间，此类担忧不到210万次。
沃伦的评论来自民主党人仍然指向共和党人拒绝由亚利桑那州参议员Kyrsten Sinema起草的法案。今年早些时候，俄克拉荷马州的詹姆斯·兰克福德和康涅狄格州的克里斯·墨菲。
除其他外，该法案将为加强边境安全和增加移民法官提供资金，同时还允许拜登宣布边境紧急状态，并在连续七天内，如果南部边境每天平均有4000人或更多未经授权的移民过境，将移民拒之门外。
该法案失败后，拜登依靠行政命令和行动，授予他的政府宣布紧急状态的能力，同时也为美国公民的无证配偶提供保护。然而，他不能为边境安全和法官创造新的资金，这些资金只能由国会分配。
“他不能制造更多的法官，如果国会不给他资源，他就不能制造更多的警卫。总统正在尽他所能，不仅仅是在边境，而是为所有的家庭。他上周采取的行动正是乔·拜登的风格。
自由派人士对拜登的行政措施颇有微词。许多人对上周宣布的允许无证配偶留在该国的命令感到高兴，但包括沃伦在内的其他人批评他在6月初允许他的政府宣布边境紧急状态并限制边境庇护申请的举动。
“我理解拜登总统在边境做出改变的紧迫性，但我们可以——也应该——比功能性的庇护禁令做得更好，”她本月早些时候说。
在2020年民主党初选期间与拜登辩论的沃伦也预测，总统将提出他的经济愿景和特朗普的经济愿景之间的对比本周四的辩论.
沃伦说:“他会为工薪家庭着想。”。“他会说35美元的胰岛素，500万人已经看到他们的学生贷款债务被取消。他将谈论取消垃圾费，以及他的政府如何打击油泵和杂货店的价格欺诈者，这与唐纳德·特朗普形成了鲜明对比。”
Warren pushes congressional Republicans for deal on immigration
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Sunday pushed congressional Republicans for a comprehensive deal onimmigrationafter a bill was blocked earlier this year.
Warren, a member of the national advisory board for President Joe Biden's reelection campaign, defended the president's patchwork of executive actions after she claimed Republicans caved to former President Donald Trump by blocking bipartisan legislation to beef up border security, among other things.
"Right now, Joe Biden is using the tools available to him to try to do as much as he can. But keep in mind there was a deal that had been hammered out. In my view, it only had part of what was necessary, but it was a bipartisan deal. And we were just two days short of voting on it when Donald Trump said no, and the Republicans walked away," Warren told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.
"He can't deal with it if Congress and the Republicans continue to block him," she added when pressed on the spike in border apprehensions under Biden compared to those under Trump. "And so, the president is using the tools available to him, both to create border security, but he doesn't have the resources because the Republicans are blocking access."
During Biden's term so far, there have been more than 6.9 million border apprehensions, according to compiled data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. There were under 2.1 million such apprehensions during Trump's four years in office, according to compiled CBP data.
Warren's comments come as Democrats still point to Republicans' rejecting a bill crafted by Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz.; James Lankford, R-Okla., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., earlier this year.
Among other things, the bill would have implemented funding for beefed-up border security and additional immigration judges, while also allowing Biden to declare a border emergency and turn migrants away if unauthorized crossings averaged 4,000 or more each day at the southern border over the course of seven consecutive days.
After the bill failed, Biden has leaned on executive orders and actions to grant his administration the ability to declare such an emergency while also offering protections for undocumented spouses of American citizens. He cannot, however, create new funding for border security and judges -- money that can only be allocated by Congress.
"He can't manufacture more judges, he can't manufacture more guards if Congress doesn't give him the resources to do that. The president is out there doing everything he can, not just at the border but overall for families. And the action he took in this last week is exactly Joe Biden being Joe Biden," Warren said.
Liberals have been torn over Biden's executive actions. Many were pleased with the order announced this past week allowing undocumented spouses to stay in the country, but others -- including Warren -- criticized his move in early June to allow his administration to declare a border emergency and restricting asylum claims at the border.
"I understand President Biden's urgency to make changes at the border, but we can -- and should -- do better than a functional ban on asylum," she said earlier this month.
Warren, who debated Biden during the 2020 Democratic primary, also forecasted that the president would present a contrast between his economic vision and Trump's atthis Thursday's debate.
"He'll be out there for working families," Warren said. "He's going to say $35 insulin, and 5 million people have seen their student loan debts canceled. He's going to talk about getting rid of junk fees and how his administration is going after the price gougers at the oil pump and the grocery store, and that's the contrast with Donald Trump."
