This is a whole new dynamic of immigration to the United States because all these new immigrants are NOT undocumented they are asylum seekers so they are going to be eligible for a variety of benefits from cities, states and the federal government now and in a very short period of time. In the past the vast majority of undocumented workers stayed in the shadows and took jobs almost no one wanted at often wages below minimum wage wage.

This new wave knows their rights and many are very demanding. I was listening to This American Life and was struck by a Venezuelan family who had just arrived in New York City. They were bused to a shelter that was comprised of tents that was free including food and other basic necessities. That wasn’t good enough and they immmediately left and went back to the Roosevelt Hotel because they said they should have been given hotel rooms because they had children.

How many asylum seekers have come in the last three years? Two million, three million? That’s a lot of people who are going to be using a lot of services that poor Americans aren’t going to get.

We created this problem with our broken system. Asylum seekers cannot legally be deported without a hearing. Even though we know 80% plus of them are not going to be found eligible for asylum. Cannot legally work to support themselves until their status is resolved. And cannot get a hearing or have their status determined because there are not enough judges and staff to hold the hearings, and there's a backlog more than 5 years long. And Republicans are not doing a damn thing to change any of that.

Republican defenders keep claiming they have proposals yet where is there a specific proposal to address this? Give a specific citation.

Absolute BS and you know it. Why do you keep ignoring the citations REPEATEDLY posted here? Rhetorical question - we know why you're ignoring inconvenient facts. Republicans are the ONLY people who have come up with specific new border legislation proposals. And who are they waiting on to pass the bill? DEMOCRATS. Get your facts straight.

"A group of Senate Republicans have released their proposal to overhaul border policies from security to parole and asylum changes.

The group, made up of Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tom Cotton (R-Okla.) and James Lankford (R-Okla.), has been meeting for weeks to try and put forth a border proposal with significant policy changes, not just additional funding for Border Patrol.

Border security: The proposal would bring back construction of the border wall and boost retention for Border Patrol agents, including changes to overtime benefits. It would also reimplement DNA testing at the border.

Asylum changes: This plan would make migrants ineligible for asylum if they transited through another country before showing up at the U.S. border, implementing what is called a “safe third country” rule. It would raise the bar of “credible fear” for asylum seekers from “significant possibility” to “more likely than not” in their home country. Migrants would be required to request asylum at a port of entry.

Parole changes: Parole would be limited to one year with the possibility of a one-year extension and would bar the Department of Homeland Security from “using class-based criteria to grant humanitarian parole.” It would codify the Cuban Family Reunification Program and spousal and children reunification for active duty military service members.

Authority similar to Title 42: This proposal would allow the broad suspension of entry for certain types of migrants, referred to as “inadmissible aliens,” if DHS decides it is necessary to “achieve operational control.” This authority is similar to Title 42, which allowed the U.S. to quickly turn back migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border for public health reasons during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The policy would also revive the controversial “remain in Mexico” policy that keeps asylum seekers outside the United States while their cases are processed. Many Democrats have said that if the border measures include that policy then they won’t accept the measures."

Speaking their demands in Spanish while their posters are written in perfect English. It is almost like this is a coordinated invasion effort.

I think the problem is that "advocates" are running around in Latin America flooding and breaking our system with a lot of false promises. I was listening to a radio program where they were talking to a Venezuelan woman who originally went to Chile and was living there but since she had been a lawyer in Venezuela, she wanted to go back to practicing law. In Chile she couldn't manage the process to be admitted to practice law there. Yet for some reason she was told she should go to America where she would be allowed to. So she left Chile where she already had asylum to go to the US. People are being deliberately lied to. But it's not the Biden administration that's out there doing the lying to these people. The ones that are need to be found and held accountable.

You've already posted this. The Biden administration is indeed accountable for LETTING MILLIONS of illegal immigrants into the U.S. That's the issue, here.

So true

It will take years for the Republicans to FIX the border that Biden has totally broken.
It needs to begin with mass deportations of all the migrants who entered illegally under Biden. And, much stricter rules for claiming "amnesty."
A physical barrier would also help.

it was already broken.

OMG, what an absolute joke.

"Migrants were [b]caught crossing the southern border of the United States more times in the past year than in any other year since at least 1960, when the government started keeping track of the data.[/b]

There were more than 2.4 million apprehensions in the 2023 fiscal year, which ended in September. That tops the previous record, set a year earlier, of more than 2.3 million, according to government data released on Saturday. During the 2021 fiscal year, there were more than 1.7 million apprehensions."

What part of "caught" and "apprehended" are you not understanding here?

If Biden wanted open borders we wouldn't even be bothering to catch them. Thus, your narrative fails, even based on your own citations.

Just curious what you think "caught" and "apprehended" means when it comes to Biden's border?

In Biden world, "caught" and "apprehended" means that the migrants transverse through several safe countries, enter the US illegally - not at ports of entry, are quickly processed by our over-worked border agents (who are not patrolling the border because of the sheer numbers of migrants entering), then are released into the US and given transportation to the cities of their choice. A small fraction of those entering are actually deported.
And, these migrants are not really vetted (that is a myth the left promotes) because many of them give fake names or their background cannot be accessed because of the countries from which they come.

"In Biden's world..."
Maybe you don't realize all this happened in Trump's world too?

Good grief. More deflection when you can't even form a cogent rebuttal to what's been happening for the last three years. Plenty of sources have already been cited showing that illegal immigration has never, EVER been higher than since Biden took office. If you're still denying that, sounds like a you problem.
DP

High-er. Sure. But it was at unprecedented historic highs under Trump, too. You flailing around trying to split hairs on this is like trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. And if you're still denying the fact that Trump and the Republicans don't actually have any coherent solutions to address it, it sounds like you have a problem.

Except that the Republicans' proposals addressing the border crisis have all been posted - repeatedly - complete with citations. You simply refuse to read them and/or ignore them completely so you can continue trolling and making the usual fake claims. Begone, troll.

No, they haven't. I have not seen any links to proposed Republican bills that have any kind of coherent solutions or meaningful support behind them.

You're really going to keep up the gaslighting, huh? Ok. Every time you post this idiocy, we'll just keep reposting what has already been posted, multiple times.

HR2. Passed the House months ago.
The House-passed Secure the Border Act would change current laws governing who may apply for or qualify for asylum, and it would limit the ability of arriving aliens to be released from custody into the United States pending the outcome of their removal proceedings.

He's absolutely right. He made no definitive claim about Iranian sleeper cells - he simply said it's "entirely possible" they exist in the U.S., seeing as 6,000,000 people have entered this country since Biden took office, and almost 2,000,000 are "gotaways" about whom no one has any information AT ALL. Of course it's possible. What is happening at the border is an unprecedented national security crisis, and Joe Biden has allowed it to happen.

It’s the GOP. They like the issue. They need the issue.

Everything he said is true.
Biden is not going to do anything to secure the border. He has proven that. He has had 3 years and conditions have only worsened.
We have had nearly 2 million got-aways enter since Biden took office. In reality, these are only the ones we know about. How many others entered undetected? The probability that some of those entering are terrorists or have bad intentions is quite high.

I agree with Senator Johnson. Even if Congress passes legislation, there is no guarantee that Biden will follow it. He and his cronies will seek some loophole to continue allowing under-educated migrants in. Or, simply continue what he has been doing.

We absolutely need a change in leadership. Biden has broken every record when it comes to our border. Every damned metric. Except deportations.
The most:
Encounters
Migrant deaths
Releases into the US
Fentanyl
Terrorists trying to enter

What else do you need to show that what Biden is doing is a humanitarian disaster, an environmental disaster, an economic disaster, and a national security disaster?

+100
Exactly. I have to (almost) laugh at the imbeciles still throwing out "Racist!! Nazi!!" to anyone who is in favor of reforming the border. Makes it crystal clear who is in favor of allowing millions and millions of unknown, unidentified illegal immigrants into the country.

This is the same woman who said there was nothing "unusual" about the migrant encounters in Dec.

And "the wall" is literally falling apart and is easily scalable by a $20 ladder. It is a total waste of money that doesn't address how people and drugs actually get through the border.

Aren’t you embarrassed constantly trying to deflect blame for this? It doesn’t mean Biden is awful at everything, but if you deflect about this, it just makes it impossible to take you seriously. Np.

Let's see what the Comms Director left out of his posting.....

$1.4 billion in grants to local governments and nonprofit organizations for temporary food, shelter, and other services for recently arrived migrants.

Equipping Southwest border ports of entry with new technology, including non-intrusive inspection equipment to detect drugs, like fentanyl and other illegal substances, as well as the smuggling of humans through checkpoints.

An additional 300 Border Patrol processing coordinators to work alongside Border Patrol agents assisting with the intake of undocumented migrants.

An additional 1,600 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services asylum officers to help hear asylum claims and expedite removals from the United States. And 30 new USCIS officers to process work-authorization requests from migrants.

Additional Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities to hold asylum-seekers.

Funds to transport migrants, including an increase in removal and deportation flights.
Providing non-custodial housing options for asylum-seekers, like community-based residential housing facilities with medical and legal facilities.

An additional 1,470 lawyers and support staff to assist 375 new immigration judge teams to process immigration cases. There are currently 2.6 million backlogged immigration cases — the most ever, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

https://www.borderreport.com/regions/washington-d-c/heres-how-biden-wants-to-spend-13-6-billion-from-congress-on-the-border/

More money will not solve the problem. There needs to be an immediate change in policies. Something Biden will not do.

Here is more.......

This supplemental request is asking to continue failed policies. For example, the $4.4 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection is for processing illegal aliens and transporting them to the American community of their choice instead of deterring illegal immigration and enforcing the law.

Additionally, an undeclared amount of your taxpayer dollars would go to the non-governmental organizations that prioritize offering shelter, food, clothing and other resources for illegal aliens over poor Americans.

Unsurprisingly, there is no money dedicated to building the border wall system that the Biden administration recently declared an "immediate and acute" need to thwart illegal immigration.

Much of the rest of the request is the functional equivalent of an illegal alien slush fund. That includes $1.85 billion in welfare payments to illegal aliens from Cuba and Haiti and $755 million to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a component of the Department of Homeland Security that is supposed to be funded by fees instead of taxpayer dollars.

Rather than dealing with the issue of illegal aliens, this money would be used to speed up the approval of work permits for millions of them whom the Biden administration has allowed into the country.

Furthermore, the State Department would receive $1.3 billion to support and promote "safe, orderly, and humane migration," which is Biden administration lingo for its unlawful categorical parole programs.

Lastly, though the nearly $4 billion to hire additional immigration judges and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorneys sounds good, it does not provide a near-term solution. The time it will take to hire and onboard all these people will do nothing in the immediate term to stop the record flow of illegal aliens coming to the country. And removal orders from judges are meaningless if they are not enforced.
