False. They are here seeking asylum. That is legal. The problem is, not enough administrative judges to hear their cases in an expedient manner. This requires a legislative fix to hire the judges and fund their courtrooms. There was a bi-partisan bill to address this and Trump told the GOP not to pass it. Harris said she would sign it. Trump has made no such claim.

But keep bleating on with the nonsense.


They entered the country illegally, fool. That makes it - and them - illegal.


No matter how much the right wing media tells you otherwise, seeking asylum is legal as a matter of international and US law.

What would help is money and authority legislatively to build the legal infrastructure to adjudicate these case more expediently. This has been needed for 30 years. Yet, when there are GOP majorities, the party does not prioritize this. On three occasions when there was a Dem president and a split congress, a bi-partisan bill was offered and on all three instances, it was killed by the GOP. So the right can just sit down when it comes to complaining about the border and immigration.


If they weren't legally seeking asylum, they would disappear into the woodwork. But they are legally seeking asylum, and often, rejected.



Who is paying for all the structure and support to manage these cases? Who is planning for adding the hospitals, schools, police, fire, ambulance (with a set of Spanish speaking providers) in all of the above? Be it legal or illegal - the country has no short term adjudication process or long term infrastructure plan to support the massive numbers of asylum seekers. "Sit down"? yes - when you get out your wallet, PP, and pay the bill.

Republicans lost so hard on gay marriage that they've gone quiet about it. That doesn't mean they'll stay quiet if they start winning more power again.

+1 They and their plans Project 2025 want gay people back in the closet.


project 2025 is not associated with trump. He has disavowed it many times

The man lies so much, you don’t know when he is telling his truth or another lie. How do you know he is speaking truth now. What we do know is that the architects of Project 2025 are former members of Trumps White House, the far-right Heritage Foundation, and the republican vice president nominee. So you want people to take the word of a habitual LIAR when the proof is in the pudding that he is for it. We also know that trump agrees with the last person in the room and is easily persuaded by flattery and money.



Trump privately supports Project 2025 because his followers support it.

He also support QAnon because it helped with the white, suburban housewife vote.

He’s lying again. He still supporting Project 2025.


Uh huh. Kamala was Biden’s immigration Czar.

Exactly. What a disaster Kamala is.

Democrats create jobs. Republicans give the rich tax breaks.


Businesses create jobs. Democrats raise company taxes and raise wages for low skill jobs meant for teenagers, which cause businesses to close and jobs to die. Watch and learn.


Let’s not forget how lawless Dems have allowed teams of shoplifters steal from stores until they are forced to close. Tell me how this creates jobs or improved society?

Plainly stated, any party who allows what we’ve seen over the past few years is an agent of chaos.


That data has been questioned. The stores that closed wanted to close. The data has rebunked.

Will you be willing to accept the tax consequences of processing and supporting these folks? You okay when you child does not get the quality education or health care they deserve because your local government wanted to take in as many migrants that they can without a plan?

Since the Cold War, Democrats 50 million jobs created versus republicans 1 million. Donald Trump actually had a deficit in job creations. That is, Donald lost jobs during his tenure in the White House as he raved about Clorox to defeat Covid. Biden brought manufacturing jobs back to the USA and Donald gave billionaires a tax cut and a tax hike to the middle class.

And yet MAGA believes that the convicted felon is better for the economy.
Nobody ever said MAGA suffered from too may brain cells, did they?

You won't get an answer to that question. And if you do, it will be a blatant lie.

What about HR2? Why not bring that up for a vote?


Because it doesn't address any of the systemic issues that need a legislative solution. It was a performative bill that was dead before it reached the senate.

"these folks" have been coming to the country since long before you, me and any of our families have been here (unless you are a native American) - any new immigrant is going to have more grit and work harder than most of the lazy a$$ Americans born here. Process? Happy to pay for it. Supporting? They won't need our support because they are yearning to do any work to support themselves and their families, even the worst jobs that native born Americans won't do. Our education system, if properly supported and not raped by "charter schools" and the rip-off Christian schools that are supported by tax dollars, can more than accomodate English as a second language and assimilation programs to give immigrant kids from any country, a chance.

Please come sub or better yet, enter a career switcher program to be a teacher. We need you. You have an unrealistic view of what’s going on and obviously want to help. Come help us in the schools. Yes, all kids deserve a chance but it’s not at all like you describe and they are not all here with grit and ready to work. Some are almost adults and have had little to no education in any country. - a current teacher

Here’s the info on how you can start right now. https://www.fcps.edu/career-switcher

We have been watching for decades.

“Trickle down” is 100% bullcrap.


What’s causing the economic problems today?


What economic problems?
Biden inherited a dumpster fire in COVID and the follow on supply chain issues. Under his leadership, he managed to get the economy re-started, and with the CHIPS Act, managed to get meaningful repatriation of manufacturing jobs in the US.

Sure, there is inflation, but that is a worldwide phenomenon and it is not as bad in the US as it is everywhere else.

But compared to everywhere else in the world, the US economy is the envy.

There are 2 million open jobs in the US that need to be filled.

So, what problems?


+1

This is all true.

Very true but let us not forget that the children of the immigrants were subject to the choices made by their parents and while in our hands, any and every child deserves all the love and attention we can possibly give them. As a teacher, I'm sure that's exactly what you are giving them. Thank you for your service. If our lawmakers could spend a day in your shoes, they's be more willing to do their jobs.

I have watched and learned. Since I graduated from high school, businesses have created fifty times more jobs under Democratic administrations than Republican administrations.

The big issue with our public schools is that our society does not adequately value education. The teaching profession should be better respected. We need to give teachers more time and support to do their jobs. Bring in more specialists and support staff. Give adequate planning time. All of this requires money that Republicans are unwilling to shell out. Some are even trying to sabotage our schools to make the case for vouchers. They want taxpayers to subsidize their kids’ private school education.

You get what you pay for.
