What if the Republicans grow a pair and say "Until the southern border is secure, NOTHING HAPPENS in DC"

"Until the southern border is secure, NOTHING HAPPENS in DC"

Translation:

“Until you give into conservatives’ ignorance, fear, bigotry, and hate, nothing happens in DC.'

You believe in "open borders" and unrestricted migration. That's insane.
Stop name calling, I want immigration LAW enforced.
It has nothing to do with fear, bigotry, or hate.
I want merit based immigration, like the AFG translators who earned their green cards.

I was not part of that movement.

That was democrats who opposed all things Trump, so turnabout is fair play.

Only if you are a 15 year old kid.
If Republicans won't do their job, they should be replaced by people who will.

 

[colfax_m]

Didn’t we like build a wall or something?

 

[Leviticus]

I'm not sure what it is about it that Republicans don't understand. experts on border security and immigration have said time and time again that a border wall would not solve anything. Money and Manpower it would take to secure a border wall would force immigration officials and the border patrol to take resources away from other entry points which would leave them open. and there are too many entry points to the country not along the Mexican border that a border wall would do next to nothing to stop you illegal immigration


there's also the fact that a good portion of illegal immigration actually comes from legal immigration people who simply overstayed their visas after coming to the country legally. Republicans Focus completely on illegal border crossings and they don't look at any other aspects of illegal immigration.

If democrats don't do their job, protect the borders, they should be replaced by people who will.

I voted yes.

But it will never happen.....the process of destroying America has not ended.

It's sad I know.

The border is an absolute nightmare, you all are just seeing the tip of the iceberg on national news. Drug cartels are now fully active ON OUR SIDE OF THE BORDER running people and drugs to drop points.

badger2 Yep, the Open Borders Democrats are screwing us 9 ways to Sunday.

 

[Resnic]

If they did that then the democrats will set the msm on them and have every news outlets painting them as destroying america by refusing to help america, say they are stalling things to push their agenda, blame covid on them, call them racists, basically drag their name through the mud.

Democrats have media on their side right now and will have them report what they want how they want.

If democrats don't do their job, protect the borders, they should be replaced by people who will.

as of June, this fiscal year’s apprehensions had topped 1 million for the first time since 2006. Still, this only seems high because of a sharp contrast with the previous 14 years. Apprehensions were unusually low during that period, as Princeton sociologist Douglas Massey, an expert on immigration patterns, showed in a 2020 study. Apprehensions exceeded a million a year for most of the period from 1983 to 2006, but they declined significantly during and after the Great Recession of 2007-2009. This year’s increase is at most a return to normal.

But it may well be a temporary uptick. “My guess is that [the 2021 increase] shows the effects of the COVID epidemic,” Massey told Truthout in an email. Economic hardships created by COVID may have pushed more Mexican workers to cross the border, he noted, and these conditions might also explain the increase in asylum seekers from Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

In addition, stepped-up border enforcement itself accounts for part of the increase. The number of apprehensions is inflated because of the Title 42 policy, according to a fact sheet from the American Immigration Council, a nonprofit advocacy group. By simply pushing migrants back across the border without formally removing them, the policy makes it easier for migrants to attempt repeated crossings — and to be apprehended more than once. From 2014 to 2019, before Title 42 went into effect, only 15 percent of the migrants apprehended by the Border Patrol had been apprehended previously in the same year. In May 2021, recidivists accounted for 38 percent of apprehensions.

Let’s Call the “Border Crisis” What It Is: Another Big Lie From the Right

Republicans and right-wing media claim there’s a huge crisis at the border but the numbers don’t support that narrative.

Your misuse of the word "apprehensions" makes your post nonsense. No one is arrested, they are "processed".
The migrants generally surrender to border patrol agents knowing that they will be released into the interior of the US, even if they have covid.

Video shows hundreds of migrants try to force way past Texas border agents

The violent confrontation began when U.S. authorities, including state troopers, started admitting select migrant families through the gate and into the U.S.

nypost.com

Trump had the border secure, with migrants returned to Mexico until their hearing date made a decision on their case.

So your bullshit response does NOT hide the FACT that the Xiden admin is NOT enforcing immigration law, an impeachable offense.

So when the GOP gets elected in 2022 and 2024, the mass deportations can resume.

 

[citygator]

Border is the same as ever. Just like under Trump except family separation is not the strategy. It’s like suddenly the deficit is something you care about. I can’t believe how partisan you guys are. It clouds your facts. Who won the election? What’s up with the deficit? Are vaccines effective and safe? It’s all crazy positions from you guys just to have a team to root foe. Get into sports if you want to root without thinking.

Unpacking your post:
1. The border was more secure under Trump with the border wall nearly complete, and migrants returned to Mexico instead of released into the US, i.e. "catch and release", even if they have covid.
2. The "family separation" bullshit was court ordered since children cannot be held with adults, so said the judge.

Family Separation Not Trump Administration’s Fault

The furor over the family separation issue – children not being kept with their parents who have been detained for illegally entering the country – is odd. This is not some new phenomenon suddenly imposed by the Trump administration. It happened during the Obama, Bush, and Clinton...

3. Agree on the deficit, BOTH parties spend like drunken sailors, and that will come home to roost.
4. Who won the election? Apparently Joe Xiden by about 43,000 votes in AZ & WI. But was there ANY voter fraud?
5. Yes, vaccines are safe and effective, except maybe JNJ's for women.

Not sure how you can say Republicans are "partisan" after democrats went full rabid on Trump for 4-years.

You really are dumber than a box of hammers. The wall was working. To claim otherwise is lying or stupidity.

 

[sartre play]

Because Everything is now a political talking point, Seems almost impossible to get any factual information about goings on at the border.

Democrats have media on their side right now and will have them report what they want how they want.

If we learned anything during the last 4-years, its how to ignore the MSM and their fake news.
We also know that the hi-tech oligarchs control the online media and censor what they don't like.
Watch how many Republicans get elected in 2022 and 2024.

 

[MarathonMike]

Democrats have media on their side right now and will have them report what they want how they want.

If it weren't for Fox News, the Democrat controlled media would have a total blackout on the ongoing nightmare of our Southern border. It would be bad enough if Delta variant wasn't on the rise, but this is just total insanity.
