Trump doesn't seem to have much of a border policy

[j brown's body]

1. Build a wall. That's going to cost a lot of money and take years to build. Hardly a solution.
2. Remain in Mexico. Mexico has ruled this out. But even then, it just allows people to try in sneak in other ways.

He apparently has no plan for dealing with asylum seekers, which is the source of the crisis at the border.

Strong on clichés, weak on effective policy.

Am I missing something?

Wait, unclear policies? I thought that was what they were attacking Vice President Harris for?

He opposed the bipartisan compromise legislation, his position is that the border should remain an issue for as long as needed to benefit him politically.

Look. You don't even need a border policy if illegals choose to quit coming. In order to do that we need to send a crystal clear message that you're not welcome here and we will hunt you down if you choose to still come. (R) know how to do that, (D) choose not to because they have a political interest in keeping this going.

Nonsense. (R) hasn't gotten shit done for a decade.

Did you conveniently forget the last four years of Trump?

Nope. He failed at the few things he attempted to do.

He was worse than useless.

The law says they can come and make a claim for asylum.

Beyond that, that was Trump's message for 4 years and the number increased.

Oh right. This wouldn't even be a hot issue if Biden and Harris has it under control. But...you already know that.

That's exactly what happens when you put out the 'welcome' mat.

In true authoritarian mode.

You feel Trump put out a welcome mat after arguing Trump cut back immigration?

You're arguing in circles.

No I havent forgotten.

The last 4 years of trump were just as shitty as the first four years of trump. Exactly as shitty really.

How does this relate to the fact they can come here and make asylum claims?

You didn't really look at that chart, did ya?

Republicans know how to do that? Tell that to red state meat packing plants that employ them and look the other way.

 

[j brown's body]

Is there a rare consensus here?

 

[Sidd Finch]

As apposed to all of his other policies? "I'm gonna make the best deals, and make everything great." Has never been a policy.

 

[uptower]

He doesn't have any policies at all and can't even fake it:



As I said from the start back in 2016 - No ideas, no vision, no plan. He wants to BE president, not to DO it.

LOL But they are welcomed by employers that can't wait to give them a job. There needs to be prison time for employing illegals but that will never happen. The truth is we need the workers and it is R's" that employ them too. This is all a scam to demonize foreigners while keeping a steady supply of workers that boost profits.

WaPo: ‘My whole town practically lived there’: From Costa Rica to New Jersey, a pipeline of illegal workers for Trump goes back years​

The Washington Post spoke with 16 men and women from Costa Rica and other Latin American countries, including six in Santa Teresa de Cajon, who said they were employed at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. All of them said they worked for Trump without legal status — and that their managers knew.

Too Long;
How does the even reverse this border situation
based on everyone’s historical revisions?

Mine go all the way back to 1871 and the United Fruit Company
joining with the radical republicans I blame for Lincoln’s death.

Lincoln’s out of the way after sending Teddy R. west to Yellowstone,
Grant is in his first term, and GOPs stole the 1876 election.

Imagine this country today had Tilden been the rightful president.
1877 saw the end of Lincoln’s Reconstruction, the kkk taking over in the south,
and the beginning of ‘slavery’ in the western hemisphere for peasants and coloreds.

The next 76 years are now called the beginning of modern history,
the oil age, world wars, nuclear, land exploitation with RW militias,

The GOP, CIA, RW dictators, UFC, and IKE/Nixon destroyed the western hemisphere.
The great northern migration really cranked up from 1953 to 1992.

Reagan’s amnesty helped elect both Bush presidents.
But, the GOP half-flipped in 1994 with noot’s contract on America.
TEAts finished the GOP transformation with REDMAP 2010, Senate 2014,
and finally trump, all based on the border cudgel LIE.

Thanks for listening.

Yeah, they went up under Trump lmao. According to that, half of the increase occurred on Trump's watch, including the start of it all. If anything, that chart shows Biden taking over after Trump left behind a disaster, slowing the crossings down, and finally reversing the upward trend that started under Trump.

What did Trump do to curb the increase in crossings that occurred on his watch? Separated kids from their parents and then lost track of who their parents are, that's what.

You're missing the fact that Trump doesn't care about actual policies. All he cares about are optics, blaming his political enemies, and mashing the White Grievance button.
