What could possibly go wrong??
“Hundreds of thousands of migrants from all over the world are making their way to the Southwest border, with U.S. and Mexican authorities reporting a surge in apprehensions of people from Asia and Africa as human smuggling networks widen their reach across the globe. Arrests at the Southwest border of migrants from China, India and other distant countries, including Mauritania and Senegal, tripled to 214,000 during the fiscal year that ended in September from 70,000 in the previous fiscal year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. Fewer than 19,000 migrants from Asia and Africa were apprehended in the fiscal year ended September 2021.” Migrants Are Flocking to the U.S. From All Over the Globe |
WSJ article today ^^ won’t link for some reason |
What would you have Biden do? Then ask the House to put some legislation forward so he can enforce it. Where's the bill? I'm tired of hearing about this and not seeing any action from the GOP. Biden and the Senate put forth a bill and it was rebuffed. Put up or shut up. |
Biden could enforce the law. And the House has a bill. HR 2. Schumer will not bring it up in the Senate. |
Biden IS enforcing the law. It’s the GOP that is refusing to step it up because their big business donors need exploitable workers. |
Here’s what i see as problems:
-laws that allow to ask for a temporary immigrant status relatively easily (you need to circumvent the Mexican border guards and reach the US ones and ask them - they have to process you) - lack of deportation enforcement (documents aren’t checked and status isn’t checked when applying for services) - free services to anyone regardless of status There need to be an unconditional legislative change (no tying it with legalizing the existing illegals) and a number of fairly undemocratic rules (no services to those here illegally, and no letting in those asking for protection) |
Once again... Republicans have a bill - HR2 - waiting for the Senate to act. Talk to Schumer. He's the one "refusing to step it up." |
Amazing that this has to be repeated over and over and STILL you refuse to acknowledge this fact: the bills put forth by Democrats all include conditional AMNESTY for illegal immigrants already in the country. Of course they were "rebuffed". Maybe get a clue and stop insisting on amnesty for people who have come here illegally. Put up or shut up, indeed. ![]() |
Exactly - especially the bolded. Democrats will studiously ignore that part, and continue claiming they are not to blame for the absolute disaster of a border we have had since Biden took office. |
In 2018, Sheriff Kincaid of Fairfax County cancelled an agreement with ICE to hold illegal aliens beyond their release date in order for the Feds to pick them up directly from the Fairfax ADC: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/sheriff/sheriff-terminates-intergovernmental-service-agreement-ice |
Seriously? I sure wish I had known that before voting for her. |
