[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The details of the compromise are scant.

Let me guess, it entails more money for bigger govt to hire more judges to hear cases in order to receive the backlog...

Lol, that ain't no border deal. It does nothing to solve the problem. Dems will never get it through their thick skulls that MORAL HAZARD matters. More judges and a bigger administrative state will just encourage more to come. You never addressed the root of the problem. Reject any deal calling for money for bigger administrative state. It solves nothing. [/quote]

Exactly this.  So no.  Not a fix.  And Republicans actually want to influx to stop.  We don’t want more funds to help the migrants while they are here.  No more migrants.  I will support funding for a wall and razor wire and border patrol agents.  Nothing else.  Once we get that, then we can talk about figuring out how to deal with the people here but not even interested in that until the influx stops.  Over 800 people have died at the border under Biden’s watch.  How does that sound?  Humanitarian?  Services in Chicago for actually residents are being closed to enable funding for illegals.  Good?  Colorado offers free health care to illegals or families of illegals but regular poor Coloradans get buttkis.  This is what the Democrats want the money for and I and tons of other Americans are DONE.  Stop the crazy. [/quote]

+ a million
And the idea that "the GOP" is somehow trying to blow up this deal to "save it for Trump" is patently false.  GOP senators are furious at the thought of Trump derailing the border bill.  The OP's link even states as much.  [/quote]

McConnell literally said Trump wants this blown up so immigration remains an issue. I guess you don't want to believe him. Either way, it doesn't matter because Johnson has already refused to bring it to the House floor, eventhough it would pass there by 200 votes.[/quote]

I'm not disputing that this is what Trump wants and said.  The point is that whatever nonsense Trump is up to has nothing to do with the GOP senators trying to pass this bill.[/quote]

Most of the GOP is going along with Trump's demand that we don't do anything about the border until Trump wins.   With the GOP going along with that scheme, both Trump and the GOP want to make the immigration and border problem continue until then.

That proves the Republicas only care about the border and immigration because it riles their base, and can be used as a political wedge, not out of any genuine altruism or principles.[/quote]
Correct. And if right wing media stopped fluffing the issue today, in under a week Republicans would cease being angry about it.

So here we have the GOP openly talking about not working on this and still the sad sacks on this board won’t admit it. Poor little lambs.[/quote]

The border is a huge issue for people across the spectrum and has been for a long time.  This bill effort doesn’t suddenly erase 3 years of history or the reality of migrants inundating cities and neighborhoods all over the country.  Yes, the asylum rules need to be fixed but there are tons of policies Trump put in place that slowed the migration and reduced the number of parolees that Biden did away with.  People don’t forget the many times he made in plain that the we welcome everyone… and him sending Kamala to find out the “root causes” which lead to exactly no changes.  And we don’t forget the sanctuary cities all suddenly freaking out because now being a sanctuary city is NOT a good thing.  And Biden has burned his street cred in this by installing a DHS secretary who will barely acknowledge that there are issues and never firing him.  He could fire mayorkas and say “wow, he did  a terrible job” but he won’t because he likes what Mayorkas is doing.  We all see it and nothing that is happening right now can erase what we all see Biden has done.  He has cooked his own goose on this one.  [/quote]
