How do you blame Texas? This is a federal government issue. The Biden administration has made it clear that it welcomes undocumented immigrants. What do you expect to happen?

How on earth is Texas to blame for Biden's utter failure at the border? Immediately upon taking office in Jan. 2021, he reversed all initiatives that were helping to control border numbers. This is ALL ON BIDEN, 100%.

Hate to break it to you cupcake, but illegals were still swarming across the border under Trump. They were cutting through his fancy new ridiculously expensive wall with battery powered angle grinders. They were building tunnels. They were smuggling people in trucks and every other way. But do go on blissfully and ignorantly thinking everything was solved under Trump.

I never said "everything was solved" under Trump. I stated that his initiatives were helping to control border numbers, and I stand by that. Only an utter loon would claim that illegal immigration has not skyrocketed under Biden. Don't waste our time with your ridiculous defenses and apologies for Biden's god-awful administration and complete lack of control at the border.

Complete lack of control? You must have missed all of the apprehensions that have been happening. You do know that means "stopped at the border and arrested" don't you? Please stop wasting OUR time with your outright hyperbolic lies like "complete lack of control."

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.

The latest Biden administration disclosures in Biden v. Texas reveal that in May, DHS released 95,318 migrants CBP had encountered at the Southwest border into the United States, bringing the total of illegal migrant releases there under the Biden administration to 1,049,532 — a population larger than the number of residents in the president’s home state of Delaware, at a rate of 2,115 per day.

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.

"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.

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?

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

Because there already was wall in the parts of TX that could have a wall, and there are lots of places in TX that a wall cannot or should not be built. Have you ever been to the border? Anywhere along it?

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.

Provide a citation for this statement. TIA.
And, you really believe there is no crisis? LOL.

The migrants found lots of ways to circumvent the wall, including cutting through it with cheap angle grinders.

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.

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?

You don't understand how government works. And, the budget proposal destroys your narrative.

Not to mention the vast reduction of BP staff actually working the border - many of them have been pulled into processing duties instead of patrolling duties. Thanks, Biden administration!

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?

DP. You must be joking. This has got to be satire. Sorry, you can’t blame Trump anymore. Biden has undone ALL initiatives that Trump had in place. The border disaster is 100% his fault. Deal with it.

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.

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.

DP. I can’t even with the utter stupidity. Nothing about border crossings and illegal immigration during the Biden administration has been “normal.” Nice wishful thinking on your part. Talk about uninformed…

US officials say they are on pace to exceed two million migrant "encounters" in the fiscal year that began in October, the fastest pace in more than 20 years.

How on earth is Texas to blame for Biden's utter failure at the border? Immediately upon taking office in Jan. 2021, he reversed all initiatives that were helping to control border numbers. This is ALL ON BIDEN, 100%.

Hate to break it to you cupcake, but illegals were still swarming across the border under Trump. They were cutting through his fancy new ridiculously expensive wall with battery powered angle grinders. They were building tunnels. They were smuggling people in trucks and every other way. But do go on blissfully and ignorantly thinking everything was solved under Trump.

I never said "everything was solved" under Trump. I stated that his initiatives were helping to control border numbers, and I stand by that. Only an utter loon would claim that illegal immigration has not skyrocketed under Biden. Don't waste our time with your ridiculous defenses and apologies for Biden's god-awful administration and complete lack of control at the border.

Complete lack of control? You must have missed all of the apprehensions that have been happening. You do know that means "stopped at the border and arrested" don't you? Please stop wasting OUR time with your outright hyperbolic lies like "complete lack of control."

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.

The latest Biden administration disclosures in Biden v. Texas reveal that in May, DHS released 95,318 migrants CBP had encountered at the Southwest border into the United States, bringing the total of illegal migrant releases there under the Biden administration to 1,049,532 — a population larger than the number of residents in the president’s home state of Delaware, at a rate of 2,115 per day.

"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.

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.

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.

DP. You do realize we’re discussing ILLEGAL immigration, right? Not those who come here LEGALLY, on a work permit. You morons actually don’t seem to understand the difference.

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?

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

+100
So telling that their default continues to be “blame Trump.” Like children, they seem incapable of admitting their own culpability in Biden’s disastrous border policies.

Who really knows who is legal or illegal? Heck, many employers never check visa status or, if they do, they are sometimes given false information. So the distinction between legal/illegal doesn't matter that much--people from certain parts of the world will try to emigrate, legally or not, due to conditions in their home countries. You were commenting on the quality of the migrants. You said they were: "unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal economic migrants." Well, those "unskilled, uneducated illiterate, illegal economic migrants" perform many essential services that most Americans will not do. And their "credentials" are often the same, whether they come here legally or not.

For the record, my FIL, an immigrant from Ireland, had only basic farm skills, a grade school education, and was barely literate when he came here. Ditto my European grandparents who immigrated here. They ALL came as economic migrants. What else do you think most people come for?

The “DP” in front of my post indicates I’m a different posted. I didn’t say any of the things you’re attributing to me. And the fact that you’re so blithely unconcerned with who is here legally vs illegally is very telling. There is a legal process to come to the US - as there is for ALL countries. However, here in the US, we’re actually rewarding those who come illegally. No thanks.

A new report from a United Nations organization found that, with deaths of would-be illegal immigrants soaring during the Biden presidency, the U.S.-Mexico border is now the “deadliest land crossing in the world.”

According to the report, from the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Missing Migrants Project (MMP), more than 1,200 people died while migrating in the Americas in 2021. That’s a significant increase from the 854 deaths reported in 2019 and 798 deaths in 2020.

Of those deaths last year, at least 728 occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even before COVID-19,” said report author Edwin Viales. “Yet, this number remains an undercount due to the diverse challenges for data collection.”

This new report comes as the number of would-be illegal crossings at America’s southern border continues to hit record highs — 239,416 alien encounters last month alone. And documents recently released as part of a lawsuit show the Biden administration has released more than 1 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. population. As Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies noted, that’s “a population larger than the number of residents in the president’s home state of Delaware,” and they’re “being released at a rate of 2,115 per day.”

The death toll for 2022, according to the IOM, is already 493, due in part to the recent horrific deaths of 46 migrants locked in the back of a tractor trailer.

DP. You do realize we’re discussing ILLEGAL immigration, right? Not those who come here LEGALLY, on a work permit. You morons actually don’t seem to understand the difference.

Who really knows who is legal or illegal? Heck, many employers never check visa status or, if they do, they are sometimes given false information. So the distinction between legal/illegal doesn't matter that much--people from certain parts of the world will try to emigrate, legally or not, due to conditions in their home countries. You were commenting on the quality of the migrants. You said they were: "unskilled, uneducated, illiterate illegal economic migrants." Well, those "unskilled, uneducated illiterate, illegal economic migrants" perform many essential services that most Americans will not do. And their "credentials" are often the same, whether they come here legally or not.

For the record, my FIL, an immigrant from Ireland, had only basic farm skills, a grade school education, and was barely literate when he came here. Ditto my European grandparents who immigrated here. They ALL came as economic migrants. What else do you think most people come for?

The “DP” in front of my post indicates I’m a different posted. I didn’t say any of the things you’re attributing to me. And the fact that you’re so blithely unconcerned with who is here legally vs illegally is very telling. There is a legal process to come to the US - as there is for ALL countries. However, here in the US, we’re actually rewarding those who come illegally. No thanks.

You cannot tell by looking at someone if they are here legally or illegally. And that fact that most American employers don't check visa status for the types of jobs that many immigrants perform, tells you that it is, in fact, US employers that are unconcerned with who is here legally. Why don't you take it up with the people who actually hire undocumented workers? That would be a good start.

A new report from a United Nations organization found that, with deaths of would-be illegal immigrants soaring during the Biden presidency, the U.S.-Mexico border is now the “deadliest land crossing in the world.”

According to the report, from the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Missing Migrants Project (MMP), more than 1,200 people died while migrating in the Americas in 2021. That’s a significant increase from the 854 deaths reported in 2019 and 798 deaths in 2020.

Of those deaths last year, at least 728 occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even before COVID-19,” said report author Edwin Viales. “Yet, this number remains an undercount due to the diverse challenges for data collection.”

This new report comes as the number of would-be illegal crossings at America’s southern border continues to hit record highs — 239,416 alien encounters last month alone. And documents recently released as part of a lawsuit show the Biden administration has released more than 1 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. population. As Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies noted, that’s “a population larger than the number of residents in the president’s home state of Delaware,” and they’re “being released at a rate of 2,115 per day.”

The death toll for 2022, according to the IOM, is already 493, due in part to the recent horrific deaths of 46 migrants locked in the back of a tractor trailer.

Wow… I feel like I shouldn’t be shocked anymore by this administration’s gross ineptitude. And yet, I continue to be shocked and disgusted.
