          LOL. We had border security BEFORE the biden regime came into power. But WAIT now we need a new law to stop it. How did that happen? Gee I don’t know. But the media told me so. Better believe it. I’m too busy getting fucked with inflation to think for myself. Though way way back in my brain I have this thought of what ignorant tools the media must think of those that believe their lies.

            So you’re saying we had border security during Obama too or are you trying to pretend we had border security for only the trump years?

              Yes Obama was certainly not a dumb guy and DID NOT allow millions to cross the border illegally just as biden has been doing

              The White House doesn’t write checks. Congress issues money. For the first 2 years Republicans controlled Congress and did nothing to get the wall built. When Democrats then took over Congress of course they did the same. Check out some books on how the US government works regarding the various branches and what they can and cannot do.

            The problem is neither side has taken the border seriously. Both sides want to ignore it.

            If you want to end the border problem, go after the companies that hire illegal aliens. With no jobs, they won’t come.

            Personally I would like to see immigration reform but neither party wants to do that either.

            If we need millions of uneducated people who don’t share our culture to work jobs, fine. Just do it illegally instead of the wink wink nudge nudge method we are doing now.

                What sort of reform would you be interested in?

                Eliminate h1b. Create a visa for anyone who wants to work a job with a 5 year renewal. Stronger enforcement iof immigration violations. Quicker process for processing visas.

              There have been times when Republicans controlled both the presidency and the congress and THEY never addressed this. So I totally agree with you. It’s an easy fix. All claims for entering the country are considered before you enter. End the joke of Asylum. If things are bad in your country too bad. Stay there and make it better. Have a real ID system in this country. You have to have a real ID proving that you are a citizen to get hired (and to vote). This would also apply to real green cards. If you hire an illegal alien there is a minimum jail term of one year for the person that hired them along with everyone listed as the owners of the company. Also a large fine, not sure what the amount should be for the company that hired the illegal alien. The problem would end instantly if this was the law and the fucking justice system actually fucking enforced it.

                I hate the asylum claims. Many are bogus. The left claims we are a racist hateful country. As such we shouldn’t be letting people come In

    If you haven’t, I’d recommend the three part series by Channel 5 regarding the border. I think it adds some context that MSM glosses over.

    He interviews some locals, migrants, and coyotes (the people who escort migrants through the border and get them to a nearby town). He gets the coyotes to help him hop the border, and gets arrested by border patrol and spends days in confinement.
