Here are 2 people who opposed closing borders via executive order: Donald Trump and Mike Pence
This is awkward.

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he would declare a national emergency to get his wall built on the southern border. But his decision to take executive action flies in the face of what he said as a candidate in 2016, when he assured people he would not be “opening our borders or closing our orders based on executive orders.”
During a January 2016 Fox News interview, Trump said:
All I’m saying is I’ll make great deals and we’ll get them done and we don’t have use to executive orders and all the stuff that Obama is using which at some point, I would imagine the courts are going to overrule in one form or another. But we’re not going to be opening our borders or closing our orders based on executive orders. We’re going to do it. We will get along well.
After a months-long fight with Congress over whether he would receive funding for his proposed border wall, Trump announced at the White House on Friday, “So we’re going to be signing today and registering national emergency and it’s a great thing to do. Because we have an invasion of drugs, invasion of gangs, invasion of people and it’s unacceptable.”
