This illegal border crossing is ridiculous. Either you come legally according to our laws as currently written or you don't get in. If you come ilegally you should be deported immediatley and cannot return for at least 5 years. This lawlessness is the fault of the left, they just want to find votes wherever they can. Get em in the country and give them citizenship, BS. Follow the law as is. If you don't like it, have the Congress do their job and rewrite the law. The democrats have the whole of government right now and yet they haven't touched the immigration laws, haven't done a thing for the Dreamers. They like the controversy, this is how they do business, keep hate and division alive.

Wow, now that's a literal shit ton of projection and miss-characterizations thrown out off the hip. In response to such a simple, straightforward question.maybe republicans should stop lying and claiming the border is open, advertising them to come
To be honest, I don't see it as that big a problem. I'd take hard working immigrants fighting for their family and their lives and braving tough conditions for them, than whiny, racist right wingers who have no empathy and blame all their problems on everybody but themselves while ridiculously claiming to be the party of personal responsibility.
And republicans ask this of democrats, but what the hell is republicans plan? Build a wall? Seriously, how stupid is that? Shoot them? I wouldn't be surprised if many republicans would be on board with that. Lock them up and more punishment? That's all republicasn like to do but that doesn't work for anything. As long as republicans get power and continue to impede government and over no solutions, nothing will get done. So democrats need to bury republicans so things can actually be addressed.
The only probably long term solution is to help the countries they are fleeing from, so the supply stops. And maybe stop messing around with other countries propping up dictators so our companies can exploit them. Creating the shitty conditions that lead to them fleeing
That's a good one, That would help cut off the supply. But the thing is, republicans would never do that. They are all about teh corporations. THey also like the cheap labor that can be exploited and abused for the wealthy. That's why they never do anything when they have power to address it. It's only used to dupe their base into scapgoating illegals for the problems caused by republicans
I haven't read the entire thread so this may be redundant but I would do this...Do you agree there is a problem? How do we fix it?
Same stupid talking points. No facts, just talking points.This illegal border crossing is ridiculous. Either you come legally according to our laws as currently written or you don't get in.

Sounds like a right wing infomercial.Same stupid talking points. No facts, just talking points.
Just damn hilarious... The democrats control all the power switches in Washington, DC but somehow it's the republicans fault?maybe republicans should stop lying and claiming the border is open, advertising them to come

It's all they have.Sounds like a right wing infomercial.
But Grandpappy, It's not a crisis or a problem anymore . It was just a minor inconvenience that Kamala already fixed. Move on to a real problem. Donald Trump was rude. That should be enough to keep liberals outraged the next 50 years.Do you agree there is a problem? How do we fix it?
Is this post a joke?Furthermore, border crossing is self-regulating, based on the economy. For instance, despite his racist blathering, more people were crossing the border to leave than to come in for the 10 years leading up to Trump's election. When the economy was weak, and demand for labor shrank, they left. When demand for labor is strong, they come here.
Democrats are the ones lying, claiming there is not a serious problem here. This is very simple. Trump fixed it and then Biden broke it.Let's be honest, for Grandpappy, the only solution to the border "mess" is to reelect a republican president. Preferably Trump. The republicans have made a living lying about the southern border- claiming it is literally wide open whenever a democrat is in the white house. So no suggestion now that Biden is the POTUS is ever going to be workable.
The solution is LONG TERM. Fix the nations that they are fleeing AND assimilate them into our nation so as to be successful here............... The GOP and Trumpers want only short term/feel good solutions, and they won't work....Do you agree there is a problem? How do we fix it?
You going 60 mph in a 55 zone is a little different than letting 13 million people invade a country illegally.I flaggrantly speed every day in my car and walk my dog without a leash. Who among us is really innocent?
Good points. What I think might work and is consistent with international standards I learned a bit about when working inmaybe republicans should stop lying and claiming the border is open, advertising them to come

In 8 years, Barack Obama did nothing about it. I guess it was the racist half-white part of him we should blame.The system needs to be thoroughly reformed.
We have two barriers to this: a major political party has a base of white nationalists, so it likes to fire them up with fear about replacement, and their business supporters love the cheap, illegal labor.
check this video starting at 3:42, for Biden's own words on it from 2015: watch it quick though, i am sure they will be taking it down soon as they can't allow anyone to see Biden say that.So explain the governments own numbers of 400,000+ in just the past 2 months. We simply have no reason to just allow illegal immigrants into the country without prior vetting. It's expensive, can be dangerous and at some point we have to stop this careless and expensive behavior. We are allowing covid carrying immigrants into the country now.
Do you agree there is a problem? How do we fix it?
What do you think?Do you agree there is a problem? How do we fix it?
Alright, I'll reply seriously.Do you agree there is a problem? How do we fix it?
Seek help.In 8 years, Barack Obama did nothing about it. I guess it was the racist half-white part of him we should blame.
We don't, though.We already do that. So, we'd have to apply increased penalties.
Your post fits your avatarmaybe republicans should stop lying and claiming the border is open, advertising them to come
