The POTUS already has this authority:
“suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate” if their entry is deemed “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”“… During times when new arrivals were few, the amount required to be released from detention on bond was high; during times when there were many new arrivals, bond amounts were reduced or set at zero…” (Denise Gilman)
”… the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination; a full closure of the southern border …”
“… closure of nine ports of entry for several days after the abduction of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent in Mexico in 1985 …”
“ … restrictions imposed by President Richard Nixon as part of “Operation Intercept” …”
“… George W. Bush in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, both of which “consisted primarily of
extensive inspections that brought border traffic to a standstill…” “… Trump’s travel ban, which restricted certain nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and North Korea from obtaining visas to travel to the U.S., and which was ultimately
upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court…”
None of those executive actions, ...
prompted legal challenges
that required federal courts
to assess the Executive’s authority
YET !!!!!A federal District Court judge
in California temporarily halted Trump’s effort, after concluding that barring migrants who enter outside of designated ports of entry from seeking asylum violated federal immigration law, international law and “the expressed intent of Congress.”

… let’s be very clear, President Biden could use his executive authority now to stop it, but he refuses.”
