Yeah, and? Just because a person makes it across our border, doesn’t mean they automatically get to stay. [/quote]

So let’s spend hundreds of billions of dollars - more than Israel’s entire defense budget - to lock them in cages in a humid, malaria-infested, hurricane-prone swamp and make it into a big joke and sell T shirts on Amazon?

This is a manufactured crisis.[/quote]

No, this is the correction to actual crisis that Biden/Harris created. [/quote]

No, it’s a crisis created to distract from the real problems in this country.  We have aging infrastructure, growing income inequality, drug addiction in rural communities, unaffordable health care, not enough housing stock, increasingly deadly storms. No money to address any of that, but endless money for war and military equipment and prisons.  Once your dream comes true and all the bad brown people are gone, do you actually think they’re going dismantle the camps? Or are they going to follow the standard M.O. of autocratic regimes and keep going?  Historians will tell you it’s the latter.  Once you’ve dehumanized and rounded up one group, it gets easier and easier to do it to others.[/quote]

I thought Biden's infrastructure bill was supposed to correct most of that. 
Just a few points...... drugs coming across the border is at an all time low.  Thanks, Trump!
Airport infrastructure, which Mayor Pete did nothing about - is addressed and funded in the Big Beautiful Bill.  Thank you, Trump!
Unaffordable health care?  I thought Obamacare was going to correct that... the "Affordable Care Act."  He lied too.

And, "brown people gone?"  You are ridiculous.  It is hard to take anything you say seriously.  [/quote]

And yet you just did  :D [/quote]

Given all the fallacies and hyperbole in pp's post, it was imperative to correct the record. 
Lies and hyperbole seems to be the only "weapons" that the Democrats have right now.  
Oh, and there's the singing too.  Very effective.  /s[/quote]

Except you didn’t correct anything, and there were no lies, other than you lying that they were lies (MAGA projection “logic” at its finest).  Also, you misused the word “fallacies”.

But, thank you for pointing out that the ACA and infrastructure bill were introduced by Democrats. At least Democrats are trying to address some of these problems.

As for drugs coming across the border, Trump pulled one third of the National Guard counterdrug forces to aid in his illegal LA militarization scheme, and now there are MORE drugs coming across the California border.  Thanks, Trump![/quote]

Interesting that the "Affordable Care Act" actually INCREASED the cost of health insurance. 
Also interesting that the infrastructure bill has done virtually nothing for our infrastructure.  
And, add to that the "Inflation Reduction Act" which actually INCREASED inflation.

Democrats are good at one thing.... naming bills that do the exact opposite of the name.  [/quote]

If you look at the cost trend for employer paid health insurance premiums 2000--present it is almost a straight line, so that is false.

One thing that did happen was plenty of people without employer coverage had "policies" that were barely health insurance at all. When I was applying for work through a temp agency in 2009 I was offered a "policy" that seemed really cheap, but it covered up to 3 days inpatient care and had a cape on ER care of around $5000. And if you had pre-existing conditions, you could not get private individual health insurance, you would have to go through the insurance pool in your state, pay higher premium, and (depending on the state) be excluded from your existing conditions for 6 months to a year, have a much smaller cap on coverage (before ACA most policies did have a lifetime cap). Yes, it was a shock when they could no longer buy those "policies." But I had worked in insurance before and had met many people who faced a grim surprise when they were diagnosed with cancer and discovered what their "insurance" actually paid for. [/quote]
