This comes down to his character. He just isn't a good dude. People would respect him more if he went down swinging on his way out.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This comes down to his character.
Yes it does, but not how you think. Grit and character can be at odds.
Why not just really say fuck and pardon anyone for any crimes committed in the act of crossing a border?
Like, even if Bidens only course of actions is pardons (it's not, the article gets into options) why isn't he pardoning more people?
There are things he could be doing, he's just not...
But there's a very slim chance he might if people make enough noise.
I really don’t think Biden cares enough.
A huge portion (33-48%) of illegal immigrants did not cross the border illegally. They just overstayed their visas.
an immigration lawyer told me that more come through LAX airport than the entire northern and southern borders
That used to be true. It's less true now. I thought so too, but looked it up to verify before posting and it's now about a third to a half of them
interesting update thanks
any executive order can be undone by another executive order, by design, he can do any damn thing he wants and be immune from prosecution (as long as it can be construed as an official action) by executive order but you have to know that someone, probably the snake Miller, will be tracking them and be writing the order to cancel it asap.
A pardon cannot be undone.
He's focused on the more important things, like ensuring Israel continues to get weapons and pardoning his kid (not that I particularly care about the latter)
