Tell me the full list of EO your turnip did to undo his effective plan?
Here's a review of your turnips f-up
From DAY ONE:

The list of ordersincludes reissuing protections established under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, halting further construction of a border barrier and rolling back interior immigration enforcement priorities put in place by the previous administration.The actions come the same day Biden will reportedly send to Congress a comprehensive immigration bill that, if passed, could provide a legal path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants, including more than 1.7 million in Texas.
“These actions are bold, begin the work of following through on President-elect Biden’s promises to the American people, and, importantly, fall within the constitutional role for the president,” the transition team said of the executive orders, which also include actions addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, eviction moratoriums, student loan debt and the environment.
The day-one order on DACA will instruct the homeland security secretary and attorney general to preserve the program, which as of June included about 645,000 beneficiaries, including about 106,400 in Texas, according to federal governmentstatistics. Trump announced an end to DACA in 2017, but the program has endured after series of court challenges, including a 2020 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that ruled the administration did not act properly in its order to end the policy.
But the Biden administration will also face a lawsuit from Texas Attorney GeneralKen Paxton, who filed a separate challenge that questions the legality of the program.
A separate Biden executive action seeks to roll back Trump’s interior enforcement initiatives and allow federal immigration agencies to “to set civil immigration enforcement policies.” In 2017, Trump quickly ended the Obama-era Priority Enforcement Program, which instructed federal, state and local agencies to focus theirlimited resources on the biggest threats to public safety, such as convicted or wanted felons and repeat offenders. The Biden transition team generally described Wednesday’s order as a way to return to “policies that best protect the American people and are in line with our values and priorities.”
On construction of a border barrier, Biden will end an emergency declaration that allowed Trump to divert billions of dollars in military construction and payroll funds for construction of the barrier. Last week in the Rio Grande Valley, Trump made his final visit as president to the border to celebrate about 450 miles of new barrier along the nearly 2,000-mile southern border. But according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, severalprojectsare under construction or in pre-construction phases, and the fate of current or pending contracts is unclear.
Joe Biden knowingly and purposely blew up the border in 2021 — don’t believe his blame game now
The new president set out in his initial days and weeks in office todestroy what President Donald Trumphad built, most consequentially in the Feb. 2 executive order.
By then, mind you, there had already been significant action to loosen up on the border, including on his first day in office.

The sense of it was that there’s nothing we can or should do on our own to control illegal immigration; rather, we had to fix deep-seated social, economic and political problems in Central America instead.
It called for getting more refugees into the United States, using parole to let more migrants join family members here, enhancing access to visa programs and reviewing whether the United States is doing enough for migrants fleeing domestic or gang violence, among other things.
And it put on the chopping block numerous Trump policies that had helped establish order at the border, from Trump’s expansion of expedited removal, to his termination of a parole program for Central American minors, to his memorandum urging the relevant departments to work toward ending “catch and release.”
Most important, it targeted two of the pillars of Trump’s success at the border: the Migrant Protection Protocols, better known as Remain in Mexico, and the safe-third-country agreements with the Northern Triangle countries that allowed us to divert asylum seekers to Central American countries other than their own to make asylum claims.
After a few fits and starts thanks to legal challenges, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas indeed ended Remain in Mexico.
Although he’s now attempting to portray himself to sympathetic journalists as an innocent bystander to Biden’s border policy, he killed the policy knowing exactly what he was doing.
“After carefully considering the arguments, evidence and perspectives presented by those who support re-implementation of MPP, those who support terminating the program and those who have argued for continuing MPP in a modified form, I have determined that MPP should be terminated,” he said in an October 2021 memo.
He acknowledged, by the way, that the policy “likely contributed to reduced migratory flows.”
For his part, Secretary of State Antony Blinken moved expeditiously.
On Feb. 6, 2021, he announced the end of the asylum agreements.
And just like that, the carefully crafted suite of Trump polices that had given us control of the border were demolished.
It didn’t require esoteric knowledge of border policy to realize how this would play out.
During the transition, Trump officials warned of a catastrophe if Biden followed through on his promises, and in April 2021, the Washington Post ran a piece headlined “At the border, a widely predicted crisis that caught Biden off guard.”
Now the Feb. 2 memo feels almost like an artifact from another era, as the open-borders orthodoxy begins to show cracks.
The White House sent Biden to visit the border and is considering measures to curtail illegal immigration and calling on sanctuary cities to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Mayor Eric Adams criticizes aspects of New York City’s sanctuary regime.
The executive order, though, is a stark reminder that the current chaos is the product of deliberate policy.
It’s all there in black and white, a prelude to a disaster that has roiled the country and could well play an outsize role in Biden losing the presidency.
