False narrative used to provide cover for Trump’s blatant agenda to exploit illegal migration as his strongest issue for the 2924 election. Here is that claim fact checked https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/unraveling-misinformation-about-bipartisan-immigration-bill/ The $118 billion bill (https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/majority/murray-releases-text-of-bipartisan-national-security-supplemental), called the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, sought significant changes in border policy. It included (https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/emergency_national_security_supplemental_section-by-section.pdf) money to build more border barriers, to greatly expand detention facilities, and to hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges to reduce the years-long backlog in cases to determine asylum eligibility. It sought (https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/05/biden-bipartisan-immigration-deal-00139558) to expedite the asylum process, essentially ending — in most cases — the so-called “catch and release” po licy whereby migrants are released into the U.S. pending asylum hearings. And it would have increased the standard of evidence needed to win asylum status. The bill also would have supplied more funding to interdict fentanyl and human trafficking, and it included $60 billion in aid for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel.

I googled abortion during the debate, and it was because Vance started telling lies about Minnesota abortion laws and I wanted to see what he was talking about.

I thought Walz did OK. Obviously Biden's last performance is a very low bar, as that literally ended his campaign. |
Vance is a practiced liar and smooth gaslighter so the ladies fact-checking him really pissed him off.
"Wah you promised no fact-checking!" |
Vance will return to race-baiting demagoguery tomorrow. One more month of delusional fear and prejudice. They know what their voters want to hear. |
Learn American civics before opining |
Yes that was in response to PP’s observation that Joe Klein opined that Walz did nearly as bad as Biden. I think that Walz was awkward here and there but he did better than Biden. Also, he is running for VP not P. |
Who is Joe Klein and why should we care about his opinion? |
Walz did fine and got better as he went along. He is not a smooth talker but he said substantive, thoughtful things and he nailed Vance to the wall at the end about Jan 6. |
