Immigration Bill A Secret No More

[j-mac]

Lankford defends bipartisan border security bill after attacks by Trump, GOP​

“This bill focuses on getting us to zero illegal crossings a day. There’s no amnesty. It increases the number of Border Patrol agents, increases asylum officers, it increases detention beds so we can quickly detain and then deport individuals,” Lankford said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“It focuses on additional deportation flights out. It changes our asylum process so that people get a fast asylum screening at a higher standard and then get returned back to their home country,” Lankford added.
Lankford called out his colleagues for bowing to political pressure, noting that four months ago Republicans refused to grant funding for Ukraine, Israel and the southern border until there were policy changes.

“So we actually locked arms together and said we’re not going to give you money for this. We want a change in law,” Lankford said. “When we’re finally going to the end, they’re like, ‘Oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it’s a presidential election year.’ We all have an oath to the Constitution and we have a commitment to say we’re going to do whatever we can to be able to secure the border.”

This is extremely straight forward. The bill goes a long way to addressing the issues at the border Repubs have been highlighting. Trump doesn't want to take immigration off the table as a cudgel against Biden so he told House Repubs to block the bill's passage. Full stop.

So, why can’t we have stand alone bills?

 

[ColonelAngus]

WE HAVE BORDER LEGISLATION.

THE SECURE FENCE ACT OF 2006.

HILLARY, SCHUMER, AND BIDEN ALL VOTED FOR IT.

ENFORCE THOSE LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.

IT IS NOT COMPLICATED.

You assholes wave "bipartisan" as though it's supposed to be a silver cross in the face of Dracula.

To the thinking world (which obviously excludes you shitlibs) it just means that Murica is going to take an ass raping from both parties.

 

[Oddball]

Again, we’ll see if Republicans actually want to address the border or do nothing so they can use ‘the border’ as a partisan wedge issue.

It will likely be the latter.

The laws say if you cross the border it’s a misdemeanor and you have a right to apply for sanctuary as a refugee. We are enforcing that. Glad you like the current laws.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Look, it has funds for state border guards and police!

Pro-4
vided further, That funds made available in the preceding5
proviso may be made available to support the State Border6
Guard Service of Ukraine and National Police of Ukraine

Priorities, Comrades!

Yeah, it's all legal and shit....That's why criminal Meskin cartels are making $5,000 per "refugee", to get them across the border.

This is a draft. Nothing prevents them from saving the worst of it until 11:58 PM, so they can sign it at 11:59, and scoff at accusations of a midnight decision.

You are not being honest.

The law says if you are seeking asylum you go to the US embassy in your country, or the next closest nation.

If you are fleeing Mexico or Canada, you enter through a port of entry….NOT SWIMMING ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE.

These are not asylum seekers. They are seeking free living on the US taxpayer dime.

WHY ARENT THEY ALL GOING TO PORTS OF ENTRY? BECAUSE THEY ARE CRIMINAL ALIENS.

ENFORCE THE SECURE FENCE ACT OF 2006. That law was fine until Biden entered office.

 

[the watcher]

$118 billion in bill, $60 billion to ukraine, $15 billion to Israel, $4.4 to pester China, $20 billion to "secure US border" most of which slated to be used to expand illegals' facilities, possibly facilitate dispersal into the interior. allows more scrutiny in applying for asylum, supposedly limiting illegals to 5000 per day. Where did that number came from, no one knows. Calling it an immigration bill is a big enthusiastic stretch seeing where the money goes. Money we will have to borrow, I might add. More shell game in Washington, watch your wallet.

It’s a misdemeanor to be in the US. It’s a law subservient to amnesty claims.

You are brainwashed.

Federal law is not being enforced.

You know it.

 

[citygator]

Yes it is. Federal law protects Amnesty claims but doesn’t have the bandwidth to handle. GOP has people like you convinced you can legally shoot misdemeanor crime and ignore amnesty claims. You can’t.

 

[ColonelAngus]

The only open border on earth is TRUMPS FAULT.

You EXTREME BIDEN CULT FUCKS never disappoint.

How did you live before 2015?

Senate Negotiators Unveil Bipartisan Legislation To Fix The Border

"If it’s good for the country but bad for Donald Trump, what do you choose?" Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said in urging Republicans to support the legislation.

www.huffpost.com

And it is as we have been saying. The most forceful immigration bill in decades.

Will Republicans sign on to this? They claim they want the border “fixed”. Well here is that fix.

Yes, it lets in 5000 illegals per day, which adds up to close to 2 million per year and gives incentives for more to come. On top of that, the biggest number of illegals coming here are now Chinese, basically, one of our biggest enemies. How many of those are Chinese spies?

/---/ Why doesn't Dementia Joe use the power he already has, as outlined in the Constitution? Why does he need a separate bill?

Biden Has The Power To End The Border Crisis. He Doesn't Want To

With one stroke of a pen, our commander-in-chief could authorize the return of law and order to our border by shutting it down.

It does no such thing. Read the bill

/----/ Senate border deal would allow 5,000 illegal immigrants a day

 

[ColonelAngus]

The Biden admin swore there were no criminal aliens just walking across the border.

They just lie right to your fucking face. 81 million of you dumb fucks supposedly voted for this.



Weird, what does this video show? PEOPLE WALKING ACROSS THE BORDER.

Are these ports of entry? Is this legal immigration?

 

[Lesh]

It’s clear that Republicans don’t really care about the border .

If they did they would support this bill
