Why do liberals use MAGA as an insult?

The idea is to shut down between the ports of entry.


The numbers are roughly equal.

However, the ones who came in legally and overstayed are much less of a problem because they were vetted prior to entry. Those crossing between ports, particularly on the southern border, are a problem in part because they are unvetted. In addition to the migrants themselves, disease is a concern, and the criminal activity associated with smuggling them across the border.
That reminds me, I heard somewhere that a large portion of the drugs smuggled across the southern border are smuggled across by US citizens, through official ports of entry.
 
Shutting down the border, unless all legal traffic is stopped, will do little to stop illegal immigration. Most illegals already enter through legal entry points.
Don't you think he plans to put remain in Mexico as part of his deal as opposed to tariffs? Trump could work a deal with the democrats. In exchange for shutting down and securing the border, putting up the rest of the fence and deporting the illegal aliens who are known convicted criminals, work on a path to citizenship for many others still here. Trump isn't a stick in the mud never surrender ideologue he's a deal maker.

If the democrats refused the deal...it would show they don't really give a rip about these migrants...they're just political pawns.

Yes, but that doesn't fit Trump's message and will be ignored.

Projection.

But I am curious as to why Trump needs the democrats' help. He has all 3 branches.
 
Sure.


There you go.
Pointing out doublespeak is not doublespeak. Sheesh!

But you are probably one of those people that thinks calling out racism is racist.
We have been down this path before.

If you want to compare the accomplishments of the two administrations, feel free. Quoting a popularity ranking is not helpful.
You said Trump was noticeably better than Biden did you not?

He wasn't.

Trump couldn’t pull a greased stick out of a dead cow’s arse! :D ;)

Oh no, GOP has both chambers AND the oval.

This is on them.

Despite the results of the election where the left had its collective head handed to it, primarily due to the fiasco at the border you're still going to support illegal immigrants over the manifest will of the people? You think that is a smart political move? Do you support governors who say they're going to 'Trump proof' their state or cities? All it really accomplishes is to make it democracy proof.

"democracy proof." That's exactly what Trump and his minions want to accomplish. Have you read Project 2025?
Project 2025: A Christo-fascist manifesto designing a theocracy

This is part of a series offering a nonpartisan counter to Project 2025, a conservative guideline to reforming government and policymaking during the first 180 days of a second Trump administration. The Fulcrum's cross partisan analysis of Project 2025 relies on unbiased critical thinking, reexamines outdated assumptions, and uses reason, scientific evidence, and data in analyzing and critiquing Project 2025.
Christian Nationalists operate with several core beliefs:

  1. America was founded as a white Christian nation.
  2. The founders were Christians who steeped our Constitution in the Bible.
  3. The Bible is the inerrant, infallible word of God.
  4. Because it is inerrant and infallible, the Bible is God’s perfect law and the basis for their definition of morality.
  5. Whenever a human law conflicts with God’s perfect law, it is a Christian Nationalist’s job to overrule the human law and replace it with God’s law.
  6. Many believe God cursed Black and Brown people in the story of Noah, aligning followers with white supremacists. Southern proponents of chattel slavery promoted this idea, and Southern pastors continued preaching it after the South lost the Civil War.
  7. They are indoctrinated to never compromise, making Christian Nationalists dreadful politicians. They believe everyone must follow God’s perfect law to the letter.
Project 2025 is packed with coded Christian Nationalists’ language. For decades, they have learned how to transform their religious zealotry into benign words and phrases that resonate with voters. Americans would be wise to learn this language and refuse to vote for those who speak it.

You identify as a Christian, do you not DrewPaul?

So you are okay with leaving half of illegal immigration in place?

The half that have lived here for 8 years or more have steady jobs and family and haven't run seriously afoul of the law yes. It would be political suicide to root out such and send them to a camp to be deported. They would have to come out from the shadows and work towards becoming citizens. This is provided the border is shut and the criminals deported.

The border won’t be shut though. There will be a constant import of illegal immigrants.

Now look back at your previous post, the one he was responding to.

You just owned yourself.

You are so bad at this that you probably don't even know how.

Americans have an insatiable appetite for illegal substances .

That will not change

Can you tell us when was America last great ?

It's been Trumps slogan since 2015

You bought into the bumper sticker so please give us a year, when America was last great.
 
Hate is a heavy burden, made all the heavier because the target of your hate won't care.

What you see as an insult, we see as a virtue.

So go ahead. Use it. Shout it from the rooftops. We'll be off somewhere winning.
Maybe this is the time he delivers infrastructure, builds a wall Mexico pays for, delivers a more beautiful health care system than the ACA, and has a trade war with China that doesn't cost tax payers $26b? Second time's the charm as they say.
