+1 Waaaaaaay too little, too late. Especially with the refusal to even entertain the possibility of a wall while Trump was in office. Zero foresight. This administration is a disaster. |
where are the protests?? This is terrible. And besides a wall is worthless! sarcasm of course Trump will eat this up! 😊 |
Totally hands trump a victory in this issue. But I also glad he has woken up and is changing course. Completely open borders is not sustainable and not something anyone really wants. It has been such a puzzling position by this administration. |
Yes, it’s puzzling that you and every other right winger believes that to be the case despite all evidence to the contrary. |
During the Trump administration, about 450 miles of barriers were built along the southwest border between 2017 and January 2021. Texas Governor Greg Abbott renewed those efforts after the Biden administration halted them at the start of his presidency.
The DHS decision on Wednesday contrasts the Biden administration's posturing when a proclamation to end the construction on Jan. 20, 2021 stated, “building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.” |
Maybe because the alternative has been such a failure that even Democratic mayors of sanctuary cities are against the Biden immigration policies. |
Fans' hotel reservations for Army-Navy game at Gillette Stadium canceled due to migrant influx
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A number of people who booked hotel rooms in Massachusetts months in advance of the Army-Navy college football game at Gillette Stadium in December are now learning their reservations were canceled due to the recent influx of migrants to the state. Mark Mansbach, owner of the Hillsdale Travel Agency, said he booked 400 hotel rooms in the Foxborough area for clients, most of whom are veterans. According to Mansbach, he was recently informed that 70 of those reservations were canceled in order to make room for migrants now staying there. "They pretty much said: 'Listen, we can't help you with rooms for your clients. We're just going to cancel the rooms.' And that was it," Mansbach said. "It was a done deal. I mean, they'd already started taking in migrants." "I was very concerned and troubled to hear that any veteran may have had their rooms canceled," Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said Wednesday. Healey said she has directed her secretary of veterans affairs to help those veterans who had their hotel reservations canceled. But for many of them, the damage is already done. "As I understand it, those were decisions made by area hotels," Healey said. "Some people have booked into my other hotels. A couple have just said: 'You know what, we'll just skip the game this year and maybe do it next year,'" Mansbach said. Giri Hotel Management, the company that manages the Comfort Inn in Foxborough and Best Western hotels in Sharon and Franklin, confirmed it is providing shelter and support to refugees. "We consider it a privilege to offer a safe haven to those who have been forced to flee their homes due to challenging circumstances, and our enthusiasm stems from our belief in the fundamental values of compassion and unity," a statement from Giri Hotel Management reads in part. Some Massachusetts legislators, however, say it is time to change the state's decades-old right-to-shelter law that requires the state to house migrants. "How ironic. One of the biggest football games in America at Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, that we can't find rooms for people that have fought for and sacrificed for our country because we have people living in rooms that are not from this country," said State Rep. Steven Xiarhos, a Republican representing the 5th Barnstable District. Some Massachusetts legislators, like Xiarhos, say this is a prime example of why they want to change the right-to-shelter law that requires the state to house migrants. https://www.wcvb.com/article/hotel-reservations-canceled-army-navy-game-gillette-stadium-make-room-for-migrants/45449184# |
Absolutely pitiful. |
I am a lifelong Democrat and I am disgusted by the border situation, there is NO way I will be voting for Biden. His administration is a disaster. |
You are not a lifelong democrat. |
Actually, this person is one of millions of lifelong democrats who will silently vote for Rs in 2024. |
The way I see it, country will be lost anyway. With Trump I take a chance on autocracy and maybe proven wrong, with Biden I subject my country to so much illegal immigration that by the time they are done with it we won’t even recognize it. I will be voting for Trump. People like you PP are horrible at reading the pulse of the nation, many Democrats are NOT happy at all by border situation and looting/crime. I never thought I would write this as I hated Trump so much but I can’t vote for Biden in good conscience. Signed - A POC and a lifelong Democrat. |
Another Dem voting for Trump.
Can’t take 4 more years of this BS with crime, border. I have family in NYC and it looks like the 3rd world there with migrants all over the streets, sleeping outside. Illegal scooters. And the problem is set only to get worse as more people keep coming. How can the city keep spending 3-4 billion a year on this as the. Roads/subways/schools crumble? |
And yes, I’ll take my chances with Trump. |
Biden’s Border Disaster Is Hurting Ukraine It has become a constant refrain on the anti-Ukraine right: President Biden cares more about securing Ukraine’s border than our own. Here’s the problem: They’re not wrong. Biden has enabled the worst border crisis in American history. In the 2021 fiscal year, officials reported more than 1.7 million encounters at the southern border, which was a record … until 2022, when it rose to more than 2.378 million. The numbers for 2023 are just in, and the record was broken yet again — reportedly reaching an unprecedented 2.388 million encounters. Since September 2021, at least 260 migrants on the terrorism watch list have been arrested trying to cross the border, while more than 1.5 million known “gotaways”— migrants known to have evaded our Border Patrol agents — have slipped into the country. And last year alone, more than 106,000 Americans died from an overdose, many of them involving deadly fentanyl coming across the border. That’s the equivalent of an airliner crashing every single day. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/10/05/ukraine-aid-border-crackdown/ |
