Jake Tapper: "But if you have millions of undocumented migrants coming into the country, how is the border secure?" Tapper later asked.

Massachusetts Democrat shocks reporter by repeatedly insisting the 'border is secure'​

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., claimed in an interview that the border with Mexico is secure, even as she acknowledged that waves of migrants are flowing into the United States.

The state of America’s southern border has become a national news story in recent weeks as record numbers of illegal immigrants cross into the United States. While some Democratic leaders, such as the governor of Massachusetts, are increasingly wary of the crisis, Pressley insisted during a CNN interview on Wednesday that the situation is under control.

Depends on what the definition of "Is....Is".

Biden has to own the illegal migrants, and it's working out o.k. for him, according to his ratings.

It's not the negative political issue that's being imagined by the Magas! Just an observation in the interest of hoping that Americans will deal with reality.

Her position is quite clear. The border is completely secure but for the asylum seekers, who don't count because, well, they are asylum seekers and asylum seekers are not illegals. Even Jake Tapper couldn't believe that.

I would support selling Progs to cartels as slaves. Remember, Progs wanted family members to rat on those who did not get the COVID shot.

But the border is secure. The cartels are keeping it open so their drug mules aren't harmed as they cross into the US.

 

[BluesLegend]

The FACT is millions of illegals have poured in under Biden's watch. The FACT is Biden reversed the progress Trump had made. The FACT is Biden and Dems have blatantly LIED about it. The FACT is over 200,000 Americans have died from drugs pouring across our borders then trafficked in our country by illegals.

At any other time in our history we would have gone to war with the countries doing this and bombed them to rubble.

The answer is "most of them are not getting killed or even injured" as we help them across the final miles of travel.

The number of illegals in the US has been relatively stable for quite a while. While some enter illegally, others are leaving.

And for every border apprehension of Mexicans and Central Americans, there are 30 visa overstays.

A border wall would have a negligible effect on illegal immigration.

The problem is not the lack of a wall. The problem is that we badly need immigration reform.

 

[Kondor3]

Declare a multi-year moratorium on ALL immigration until we get this fixed.

Deport ALL Illegal Aliens, and damn the consequences and counterarguments.

Give them eighteen (18) months to make arrangements and leave on their own.

Otherwise, issue rewards for information leading to the arrest and deportation of an Illegal Alien.

Make it a crime to hire an Illegal Alien or to provide housing or educational or welfare or financial services to Illegal Aliens.

And hire enough new CPB agents and US Marshalls to enforce the new deportation edict(s) and statute(s).

Devise a new Work Visa program and enforce it through electronic GPS-style tracking mechanisms, much like ankle bracelets.

Erect an EFFECTIVE wall along the entire southern border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico - damn the expense.

Invest a $hitload of money in observation and deterrence drones to deploy and sustain along the entire border.

Make Sanctuary City declarations a Federal crime, designed to circumvent Federal law regarding illegal immigration.

Prosecute LibProg mayors and governors and city councils who refuse to comply with rescinding of Sanctuary City status.

Put a test-case before SCOTUS designed to conclude that the birth-citizenship status of the 14th doesn't apply to Illegal Aliens.

Start making air-strikes and gunship and commando raids on Cartel facilities across the border whenever appropriate.

The problem today is the amnesty process. And Biden's coalition seems unable to avoid what is called catch and release.

I'm not sure the number is stable, but a wall is .... short in width.

How Many Illegal Aliens Are in the United States? 2023 Update | FAIRUS.org

As of June 2023, FAIR estimates that approximately 16.8 million illegal aliens reside in the United States. This is significantly higher than our January 2022 illegal alien population estimate of 15.5 million. This estimate is also a 2.3 million increase from our end-of-2020 estimate, meaning...

I would suggest simply ending amnesty, and instead just allow presidents to admit people of specific countries. Over and above levels set for legal immigration. But I won't hold my breath

FAIR is an anti-immigrant organization which is highly biased. Their data is unreliable.

Pew Research estimates there are about 10 million unauthorized immigrants in the US.

And as I said above, for every border apprehension of Mexicans and Central Americans, there are 30 visa overstays.

Key facts about the changing U.S. unauthorized immigrant population

The unauthorized immigrant population’s size and composition has ebbed and flowed significantly over the past 30 years.

www.pewresearch.org

In recent years, immigrants from countries outside of Mexico and Central America accounted for almost 90% of overstays, and in 2017, there were more than 30 overstays for every border apprehension for these countries.

 

[g5000]

It takes an average of 14 years for someone to become a legal US citizen.

When your family is starving or under political duress or constant military violence, waiting 14 years isn't an option.

The problem is not the lack of a wall. The problem is that we badly need immigration reform.

We need to change our asylum laws for starters. We cannot absorb the millions every year who claim they are being persecuted. Many are making these claims because they know it will buy them time. We need to go after employers at all stages, from the private contractor to corporations who knowingly hire illegals.
A well-constructed and completed system of walls would be a very useful tool for our border patrol.
