Bill Maher, host of “Real Time,” criticized President Biden’s recent executive order on immigration, deeming it a last-minute attempt before the election that won’t resonate with voters.
Maher highlighted Biden’s age and handling of immigration as potential factors for his electoral defeat. He mocked the executive order’s approach of setting a cap on asylum seekers, likening it to surge-pricing with Uber and suggesting it pleased nobody.
Maher pointed out the irony of Biden’s resorting to an executive order similar to the one Trump attempted, which failed in the courts.
He emphasized the lack of bipartisan effort in addressing immigration issues, noting that Republicans thwarted attempts at legislative solutions. Maher criticized Democrats for their reluctance to define a limit to immigration, suggesting that any finite number risks being labeled as racist, highlighting the party’s struggle with the issue.

He expressed frustration over Democrats’ inability to address the concerns of voters on immigration, citing polls that showed Trump’s significant advantage over Biden on handling immigration and border security, despite Trump’s unfulfilled promises such as building the wall.
Maher underscored the failure of Democrats to win over Latino voters despite their efforts to appeal to them, citing polling data that showed Trump maintaining a substantial lead among this demographic. He warned Democrats about the political consequences of their handling of the immigration issue, reiterating his previous characterization of the border crisis as the party’s “Achilles’ heel” in the upcoming election.
