Well, maybe not, LOL:
Top advisers to President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday they will not immediately roll back asylum restrictions at the Mexican border and other Trump immigration policies, tamping down expectations for the kind of swift reversals Biden promised on the campaign trail.
Speaking to reporters on a conference call, several members of the Biden transition team said the incoming administration would “need time” to undo “damage” to the U.S. immigration system and border enforcement policies that have severely limited the ability of asylum seekers to qualify for humanitarian protection.
The transition officials echoed statements made by Susan E. Rice, Biden’s incoming domestic policy adviser, and Jake Sullivan, his pick for national security adviser, in an exclusive interview published Monday with the Spanish wire service EFE urging patience with their immigration agenda.
Rice told EFE that Biden will use executive authority to implement his immigration agenda, but her cautious statements appeared to reflect the incoming administration’s worries that easing up too quickly on Trump’s enforcement system could trigger a new migration surge at the border.
“Migrants and asylum seekers absolutely should not believe those in the region peddling the idea that the border will suddenly be fully open to process everyone on Day 1. It will not,” Rice said, according to a translation of the interview transcript. -

I expect they are already lining up at the border
Maybe Mr. Trump will fling the door open as Mr. Biden promised
Then let's see how Mr. Biden deals with the huddled masses

On an NBC Special Report a few minutes ago they were taking about how he is going to DEMAND Congress do something..not sure what. In any event, I have never ever heard a president or president elect say he's going to demand Congress do anything. It doesn't really work that way.
Just more fellating.

Did Trump use the word demand? Not in the piece I saw. Joe did. Huge difference.

So Trump never demanded Congress allocate money to build the southern border wall?
