We need to be ready for the next elections in 2022 and 2024. We need to send liberals with automatics to any close races to make sure we are also being represented. In 2000 republicans rioted and got the recount stopped. Google brooks brother riots. Because republicans cared more they got their way. We need to match that intensity. If republicans are ready to riot maybe we should be ready too.
If republicans storm the capitol we need an equal force to go represent biden.
2021 is the second time republicans have rioted because they didn’t like how things were going for them. Us liberals need to defend ourselves the next time republicans try it.
After four years of the Biden/Harris shit show I doubt you Dems will have to worry about an election as none of you will get elected for anything.
Right now we are being over run by illegals at the southern border. Your boy Biden stopped construction on the fully funded wall. He handcuffed ICE and invited all those illegals to come to the US.
Guess he didn't care that most Americans want all illegals out of the country. His immigration policy won't earn him any votes.
Oh and once his EO's and green shit kick in I doubt a Dem could get elected to man the back of a garbage truck.
We do need to shut the border down. I can’t argue. By allowing them to come we are also allowing South American countries and Mexico to continue not doing a good job for their citizens. Anyone who doesn’t like it in Columbia Mexico or quatamala can just come to the USA. If pissed off people couldn’t leave they’d be forced to fight their corrupt governments and fix them. Or overthrow them. No one from such a beautiful warm climate should want to move to chicago. People in chicago should want to go there.
But you CHEERED when Trump cut funding to stop the gangs in El Savador. You complain when your government gives money to "shithole countries", or allow "leftist" governments into power in Central America. The USA hasn't encouraged "good governance" in Central America. It's encouraged right wing dictators, who are getting kickbacks from the Cartels.
Last but certainly not least, your obsession with the Southern Border completely ignores that the majority of your illegal immigration comes in through your airports. Bleating like a lost sheep about the Southern Border is the Great Republican Deflection, against their do-nothing attitude on illegal immigration.
Governments at every level benefit from illegal immigration. The Feds pocket their 15% withholding payments, knowing that these people will never have "entitlements" they'll be paying out on. They conThe states get their sales taxes, gas taxes, and the benefit of their labour. The cities get their property taxes, and other user fees.
Then there's the loss to GDP:
This statistic shows the estimated GDP loss if all illegal immigrant workers were removed from the United States.

"Enforcement" is an "all of government" response of which the Southern Border is only one small part of solving the problem of illegal immigration. "Enforcement" needs to include a strong and robust judicial attack against employers but Republican governments refuse to do ANYTHING other than attack refugees on the Southern Border.
Enforcement needs to include:
- Follow-up by the IRS on withholding payments to non-existent or deceased social security numbers;
- Employers must see the original social security card on hiring and verify the name and the number;
- Vigorous prosecution of high profile employers including Tyson Foods, Koch Industries, and the Trump Corporation, and not just right wing employers, so if you know of any liberal corporations caught hiring hundreds of illegals, you can include them too
- pass sane and reasonable immigration legislation - that takes into consideration that this is 2021, not 1821.
- Restore funding of programs in Central America to deal with gang violence, and governmental ability to keep their citizens safe.
- Deal with Climate Change;
- Stop locking people up and leaving them in custody with no due process. These people are guilty of a misdemeanor. You don't lock people up for jaywalking. In carceration at $700 per day is ridiculous and expensive. Either deport them or let them go, but don't lock up non-criminal and otherwise productive people at taxpayer's expense.
I realize you fools want bumper sticker solutions and cannot comprehend complex problems but the real world doesn't work that way. You've spent the last 40 years creating your own problems on the Souther Border, so don't think that unravelling the current mess will be cheap or easy.
Trump spent hundreds of billions of dollars on the Southern Border, and accomplished NOTHING. Illegals continue to overstay their visas and will continue to pour in through your airports, seaports, and across the Canadian border as long as you continue to provide illegal immigrants with jobs.
