[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn’t a crisis at the border.

There is a crisis in Central American countries of intense and undiscrimating drug cartel-fueled violence and deep poverty.

What we are seeing at our southern border are people fleeing crises. When we address the crises in Central America then and only then will we stop the wave of immigrants.[/quote]

Republicans would prefer that they all just die, thanks.[/quote]

[quote]Texas Senate Republicans passed a resolution Tuesday declaring a crisis at the Texas-Mexico border and requesting that Congress fully fund "all means necessary" to secure it.

[b]The resolution sparked ire from Senate Democrats, who said the first time they saw the measure was on the Senate floor. Senate Resolution 535 passed in a party line vote, 19 to 12, late Tuesday afternoon.[/b]

The resolution doesn’t prescribe a specific border security solution but asks Congress to deploy agents, implement technology, and “erect barriers where needed.” It also states that the “Texas Senate supports the President in his efforts to move forward with emergency action” – a line that angered multiple Democratic senators.[/quote][/quote]
