I guess you are missing the part about other than a 6 billion dollar wall that has already fallen into disrepair and separating kids from their mothers - many of whom are still not accounted for, the Trump years were basically no different than the time before or the time since. The only thing that has changed is the fire breathing in the media ecosystem. |
That and the 500% increase in illegal crossings. It’s almost like Biden is doing something different with his strategy? |
Oh, that was amazing. Baited the GOP into taking Social Security and Medicare cuts off the budget cutting table. |
How are we getting these numbers? Normally people committing crimes don't register them with anyone. |
You’re right. The numbers are much higher probably. These are just the increases in apprehensions. |
The right is willfully misconstruing different data to create the hysteria among its ranks. That is not to say that it isn't an issue. It is, but it has been an issue for 40 years and the GOP refuses to do anything about it at every turn. This time, right now, is no different than 2013. And the GOP sure didn't do anything about it when it controlled both houses of Congress and the White House. |
Wait. More apprehensions? That can't be right. We have open borders. |
You know what "apprehension" means in Biden talk don't you? Migrants enter illegally. Are processed by CBP. And, released into the country within hours. And, "processed" does not mean "vetted" since many of these migrants cannot be vetted and many use fictitious names. That is why passports and IDs are scattered before they are "apprehended." |
Don’t forget Afghanistan, Iran, Hamas and more! |
lol. You’re ridiculous! |
No we just let an inordinate amount of false asylum claims into the country while ignoring large swaths of our physical border. Then there are known gotaways. On top of that, 80% of people apprehended for illegal crossing (millions) are released. Yeah ‘leaking like a sieve’ is more appropriate than ‘open.’ |
The separation of kids from their parents is terrible. And there is no defending that. But it must be made clear that having millions of unvetted, undocumented, mostly young men from 160 countries, streaming across the border every single day is unacceptable. There is not a country on Earth that would accept that. Why the Biden administration has rolled with this is absolutely bizarre to me. It's certainly not doing working class Americans any favors. The Biden administration's indifference to this is going to cost them the election. I find the stupidity of White House advisors breathtaking. |
And here I thought the Biden administration wasn't doing anything. But now it turns out they're arresting a shit ton of people and busily administering the asylum process.
Beef up the asylum administrative infrastructure so we can adjudicate these claims efficiently! |
Because there is no place to keep them and they aren't allowed to just send them back without going through a removal procedure. That's what the bill that the Republicans are refusing to support is trying to address. |
Millions have been released into the country after giving fake addresses and a note to appear. How do you get these people back? Does the democrat bill allow for same day processing because once you let them go, those some 80% fake claims aint coming back. How about we skip ahead to just implementing e-verify across the country? |
