[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As usual, the globalists at DCUM completely ignored HR2

H.R. 2 includes a laundry list of essential immigration reforms long fought for by immigration experts;

* Plugging loopholes in the asylum system that are currently being exploited by economic migrants by raising the bar for “credible fear” claims and denying entry to aliens claiming asylum at the border who have passed through a safe third country on their way to the United States and failed to apply in that safe country;
* Blocking the administration from continuing its catch-and-release policy by making most illegal aliens ineligible for parole or release from custody other than to be returned to their home country or to a contiguous country to await the adjudication of their asylum claim there (Remain in Mexico);.
* Preventing family units who cross the border illegally from being released into the United States by requiring family units apprehended at the border to be detained, protecting them from exploitation and victimization by the cartels and traffickers;
* Reining in the breathtaking and illegal abuse of parole that this administration has been using to create its own immigration system outside of the confines of the Immigration and Nationality Act; and
* Installing teeth into efforts to deter visa overstays.

Perhaps most importantly, the bill would require employers to check the legal status of new hires through the free, easy-to-use E-Verify system. By making it much harder for illegal aliens to find jobs, the reform would deter would-be migrants from ever journeying to the United States.

and yet Democrats have shown they are not serious about controlling immigration, and it seems that increasing immigration is a policy choice by Democrats.[/quote]
Nobody ignored H.R. 2. We know it's there. We also know it's a messaging bill whose authors understood completely that it was dead on arrival in the Senate.

House Democrats passed the For The People Act in 2019 but McConnell didn't bring it up for a vote. They tried again in 2021 and while Schumer did bring it up, it didn't survive the filibuster. The fact that the bill failed to become law came as a surprise to no one - this was a messaging bill too. Both sides pass them to let the people know where they stand. And if enough voters agree with H.R. 2 they'll elect 60 Republican senators and a Republican president. But we're not there yet.[/quote]

And the Senate’s weak border bill was also a messaging bill that was not intended to pass. It was all of Biden and Democrats policies. It did not secure the border, but it was intended to fool voters into thinking Democrats were doing something to secure the border. It was to deflect blame for the border crisis onto Trump and Republicans. Its authors knew it would never pass the House. [/quote]
Its principal author was conservative Republican Sen. James Lankford. Why would he want to do that?[/quote]

No, the principal author was the Biden admin, Chris Murphy, and Kirsten Sinema, all Democrats. James Lankford got anything for Republicans in the bill. The bill was so bad it had no chance of passing the House. He spoke on the Senate floor about all the good policies Democrats rejected

He's describing the process of negotiation between the two sides, something that's necessary for any bill to become a law under divided government. The House bill was crafted without bipartisan negotiation, which is why it never had a chance.[/quote]

The Democrats side is open borders.[/quote]
The Biden administration has deported more than a million people. That's not open borders.[/quote]
