Kamala Harris is set to visit the Border

Well it must be what she means. So when she goes to Guatemala..and says..DON.T COME

It means we have open borders...Fox News says so..and they are never wrong!
That was her statement at a photo op - and one that she knows will be ignored. The issue is the policies and other communication, which says differently.
 
"None of them say anything about opening the borders"
Of course not. That would set off the tinderbox over this issue, and no media would dare declare what is blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention to the situation.

None of that changes the fact that it was the Biden administration policies which instantaneously changed the Southern Border under control to a Southern Border under siege.
None of that changes the fact that it was the Biden administration policies which instantaneously changed the Southern Border with reduce human and narco trafficking to their present historical high points.
None of that changes the fact that it was the Biden administration policies which instantaneously changed the Southern Border with reduced cartel profits and earnings to what appears to be record cartel profits and earnings.
All that even though your own links show the opposite of the opinion you're expressing.
 
How is that nonsense?

When someone tries to argue that the administration has an open borders policy and does it by posting t wo links showing the exact opposite of that, then I conclude that it's nonsense. Do you have some proof that it's anything else?
 
It's funny how Democrats couldn't stop whining about Cruz leaving Texas for a day or two during the deep freeze, even though it's not actually his job to deal with local issues in Texas, but when Kamala Harris is actually given the job of dealing with the border crisis, doesn't hold a press conference on the issue for months, and finally decides to go there after even more delay and enormous pressure to do so, the excuse is that it would just be a photo op.
Nothing was going to change as a result of Cruz skipping town, either. The difference is that, when a Democrat has to stage a photo op to make the political opposition shut up, it's the Republicans who initiate it. On the other hand, when a Republican has to stage a photo op to make the opposition shut up, it is the Democrats that initiated it.

Politics is all about appearances, regardless of the party of the politician.
 
It's. never worked
Caravans of people came while Obama was president. IT CONTINUED UNDER TRUMP...and continued under Biden.
This is due frankly to the republican inability to deal with the immigration issue. They have placed themselves firmly under a rock and a hard place and so can do nothing.but wait for the democrats to fix it and then complain about the fix. Much like healthcare.
I’m not sure you understand what the MMP program was about.
Under the protocol, asylum seekers who attempt to enter the United States at the US-Mexico border can be sent to Mexico and made to wait there for the duration of their US immigration court proceedings.
Biden ended the policy which effectively sent the message of “Come on up! We won’t turn you away!” And now we have a crisis that his Administration won’t acknowledge and Harris won’t even look at. Why else do you think she’s avoiding visiting any of the hotspots?

Dude the crisis was still there under trump. Do you think the children trump lost in the system while separating families..came from CANADA?
the policy never worked.
And still doesn't work as Biden is STILL sending folks back to MEXICO.

I gave you a link that wasn’t exactly favorable to Trump’s policy and if you had read it you would see why Biden ended it. As a means of keeping immigrants in Mexico while seeking asylum it was working but at cost to the asylum seekers. The “crisis” of the immigrants was shifted upon the shoulders of the Mexican government. They either had to step up to the plate to address the problem at their own southern border or face the consequences of not doing so under Trump’s policy. A policy that Biden ended. So now there are no stop-gaps for immigrants coming to the U.S. That’s called an “Open door” policy.

That ridiculous to claim that we now
have an open door policy.
If that were true there would be no crisis on the border.
There would be no camps..no droppi g children over border walls..no children in detention
Just come across and go to work.

Not only is Biden allowing them to freely cross but he’s supplying them transportation to their end destinations. And some governors are giving them cash incentives to come to their state. If that’s not an “Open door” policy encouraging illegal immigration I’m not sure you understand the concept of why it’s a crisis.

Naw..I understand that it's not an open door policy.
In fact one of the reasons these immigrants are surging to the us..is because despite the Biden administration say don't come..sending people back to Mexico..still detains kids.
Republicans keep going on television telling them that we now have an open door policy!!
 
Where did I say it was? Either provide a link or stop lying.
Sorry You implied that he opened the border
Joe as a candidate told his supporters that the US could ”Easily take 2 million more immigrants in…”

And, then on day one cancelled the policies there that were stemming the flow. ( implying that he opened the border)
Have a nice day

What I said was truthful…unless you’re saying Joe didn’t say or do those things?
 
Of course they aren’t going to say that the border is open, but when it open in some areas and thousands are pouring through, it’s an open border.

So in other words trump had an open border as well.
 
The border was not overwhelmed then as it is now.
The border was more overwhelmed under trump than it was under obama..
And now more overwhelmed under Biden. Its an ongoing trend.
The conditions of thousands of people coming over the border illegally has existed ..pretty much as long as there has been a border and laws on immigration.

First off you’re wrong. Second, the issue is the current situation. I know it’s hard not to insert Trump diversions.

We have had periods in our history we had virtually no immigration.

Hmm well you are welcome to provide some evidence .
No trump diversions..nor Obama diversions.. nor Bush diversions..nor Clinton diversions.
Your definition of an open border is some areas open some ares closed and thousands coming over the border.
That condition has existed for several decades if not longer.
In fact Reagan signed into law amnesty for 3 million illegal immigrants..in 1986.
I fear your understanding of illegal immigration is woefully inadequate. How about you do some studying up on it and then come back to the group?
 
Next week, when Trump visits the border where the bulk of the problems actually are happening, it will be exposure that Biden/Harris will still have to answer for.

We have?

Would you care to name one or two of these periods?

Nobody's actually going to give a shit.

Trump is cold product.

Oh, millions of Americans give a shit about illegals invading our country, and Biden holding the door open for them.
Midterms are coming. Tick tock.

We have paused immigration with the intent of assimilating massive influxes. This isn’t exactly an unknown thing.

Heres something you may find interesting. There’s much more info out there.

 
All of Trump's visits over 4 years were nothing more than a photo op. You guys are getting really boring.
But at least Trump tactics, whether you liked them or not, got the results that reduced the number of people sneaking into the country.
Isn't that the objective of border control?
Biden/Harris will never do what it take to stop the flow of illegal migrants into this country. They are cowardly and afraid of blowback if they try anything that equals the results Trump and his policies achieved.
