My God you are dense. There were 1.7 million border encounters in 2021. Nearly 2 million already for 2022. These are record numbers. And, they don't include the record number of got aways under Biden..... somewhere around 800,000. Do you have any idea how many of those "stopped at the border and arrested" have also been released INTO OUR COUNTRY? More than a million.
https://cis.org/Arthur/Disclosures-Biden-Has-Released-Nearly-105-million-SW-Border-Migrants-US This document is a few months old, but has some stats that may help inform you: https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017f-d8bd-d522-ab7f-debd59400000 And, because of the constant surge at the border, CBP agents are busy babysitting, processing, and transporting migrants and are not patrolling our borders. That is how the record amount of fentanyl is coming in along with criminals and other "got aways." You cannot possibly justify Biden's "border policy" because he doesn't appear to have any. He took away everything that was working and replaced it with NOTHING. His administration has been totally inept... unless of course, allowing millions to illegally enter our country is their intent. Which it appears to be. |
+1 million |
THIS. End thread. |
"Border Encounter" DOES NOT MEAN "welcomed in." Your claims of "nothing" are a lie. Nothing would mean he shut down Border Patrol and abandoned the border checkpoints. We obviously did not even remotely do that. Stop with the ludicrous hyperbole. |

Tell us about an action Biden has taken to increase border security. And, you must have missed the part that over 1 million have indeed been welcomed into our country. |
DP. And yet labor shortages are still everywhere. Literally everywhere. Something doesn't add up. |
Biden is doing exactly what Trump did. So you are really saying it’s Trump’s fault. Why is the only crises area border area in Texas? |
Yeah, all time high stimulus and debt balances not to work. And sorry to say, unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal economic migrants are not craftsmen, teachers, aides, nurses, truckers, retail managers, customer service call center types, pilots, plumbers, or even good drivers who know road rules in America. |
Yawn. 372 million people cross the southern boarder each year. The traffic was down during the pandemic year and is now returning to normal. There is no crisis. You people are really weird with your crazy uninformed focus on the Texas border. The only explanation is that you are a racist. You just don’t want poc replacing you. |
One action? There are many. Have you looked at his budget proposals? https://www.dhs.gov/publication/congressional-budget-justification-fiscal-year-fy-2023 1.5 billion dollar overall budget increase to CBP. Increase of hundreds more border patrol agents. Increase in court funding to help clear the backlog of deportation and immigration hearings and cases that for the last decade has been driving "catch and release" due to lack of enough detention facilities. |
Let's explore that thought of stimulus for a minute. There were three rounds of stimulus checks, the last of which was March 11th, 2021 - almost 16 months ago. If you're saying those modest stimulus checks, are somehow STILL driving inflation today, 16 months later, then I'd say they were wildly successful at helping people make it through the pandemic and keeping our economy afloat. Now, exactly how much longer do you think people can splurge and spend on checks that ran out 16 months ago? Hmm? If it was stimulus that is driving inflation, then it should be ending. Second, as for your characterization of these immigrants, clearly you have never looked closely at construction crews, kitchen staff, building maintenance crews, landscaping crews, and so on. They do plumbing, wiring, tiling, framing, painting, masonry, cooking, locksmithing, auto repair, tree trimming, and a great many other trades. |
Exactly! I don't know where the PP lives but in No. VA where I live, pretty much all the jobs you enumerated are done by immigrants and I have personally availed of the services of immigrants performing most of these tasks. I would add to your list: nursing home aides (I am still grateful for those immigrants who took care of my dad in his last days), home health aides, nannies, daycare workers, house cleaners, commercial space cleaners, hotel housekeepers, maintenance workers, meat packing industry workers, agricultural workers, seafood processing workers, and on and on. Our economy could not function without all these immigrants. So eff off PP with your clearly xenophobic toxicity. |
You are either intentionally lying or you are horribly uninformed. Biden undid everything Trump was doing. If Biden had left things in place, we would not be seeing record numbers coming illegally and staying. And, it is not just Texas.... illegal immigration is at a crisis across our southern border including CA, NM and AZ. https://www.borderreport.com/hot-topics/immigration/migrant-encounters-top-2-million-in-calendar-year-2021-on-pace-for-repeat-in-2022/ There are certainly MORE in TX. As to why that might be.... have you ever looked at a map of the southern border? And, most of the wall built during Trump's admin was in CA, NM, and AZ. See for yourself: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-02-07/how-much-of-president-donald-trumps-border-wall-was-built |
His budget proposal..... for 2023? That is in the future, dear..... and is simply a proposal. Once again, what action has Biden taken ..... ALREADY..... to increase border security? |
