They lie. The party they are so devoted to, never wants this to be solved. It will remove one of their biggest campaign wedge issues to keep the people distracted from having their pockets fleeced by the billionaire class.
They lie. The party they are so devoted to, never wants this to be solved. It will remove one of their biggest campaign wedge issues to keep the people distracted from having their pockets fleeced by the billionaire class."Open borders" is one of those right-wing rinse and repeat lies they tell so many times people like @Greenman get it implanted in their brains and just regurgitate on demand.
We will not be able to solve the border problem until we can agree on a set of facts.
Dems tried during Trump's term to push comprehensive immigration reform. Remember that clip from a meeting with him and Dem leaders agreeing on that framework. Trump goes back to his people and then reneges.
Also red states are removing age restrictions for work creating an additional incentive. That's how you get 14 year old undocumented working the night shift in slaughter houses.
Proof?2.76 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. in 2022. That's an open border.
The fact is that the GOP donor class is THE importer of illegal labor. The same people cheering Sound of Freedom are the same ones voting for the party funded by illegal labor. Greenman knows this too, but that won't ever stop his apathetic ignorance.They lie. The party they are so devoted to, never wants this to be solved.

Even if we accept that number, which as others have pointed out is probably inflated, there is still 7.88 billion people on this planet. That is not a open border, it is a faucet that drips every few hours.2.76 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. in 2022. That's an open border.
More importantly, those are APPREHENSIONS. He's saying that the number people CBP apprehended is evidence that the border is open. It's literally the exact opposite.Even if we accept that number, which as others have pointed out is probably inflated, there is still 7.88 billion people on this planet.

This is like claiming that the police arresting people is a sign that we don't enforce the law.
I don't know, man. I hear it's gotten so bad here people are moving to Mexico.Even if we accept that number, which as others have pointed out is probably inflated, there is still 7.88 billion people on this planet. That is not a open border, it is a faucet that drips every few hours.
You have to admit it's kind of funny that he decided we have an open border because CPB is arresting so many people for attempting to cross it.I don't know, man. I hear it's gotten so bad here people are moving to Mexico.
Actually, I just noticed I quoted your post by mistake as my reply was meant for SMOGZINN. I was going to answer your post with an admission of wonderment at the fact that the irony of its truth had not actually dawned on me either. As I have suggested before, your logical mind is a gift in my opinion. Thanks to you I see things I would not otherwise.You have to admit it's kind of funny that he decided we have an open border because CPB is arresting so many people for attempting to cross it.
Then again there's a pretty good chance he didn't know what his number meant and/or some right wing source he got it from lied to him about it.
I think for any who are fooled into going and/or sent against their will you're right, it is human trafficking and I'm not sure why nothing is being done. If you prosecute a few public officials for participating in this scheme I bet it would dry up fast.One question on this topic: Why have there been no consequences for shit-headed governors from southern states sending busloads of immigrants to NY/CA/D.C./etc. ?
Not all immigrants in NYC are coming in this way, but this is being done intentionally and out of spite. Why is it being glossed over and ignored? It meets the definition of human trafficking, and is the opposite of finding a solution for the issue.
Sounds like you should tell Republicans to stop blocking immigration reform that includes more border security then.It's not just NY, we are fed up with Joe's 30,000,000 illegal aliens consuming billions in resources we can I'll afford.
Deportation is the only viable solution.
Reform is great so long as it does not include automatic citizenship for 30M illegals here now. We did that back in the 80s and the experiment failed.Sounds like you should tell Republicans to stop blocking immigration reform that includes more border security then.
When will you learn that Republicans are working against everything you claim to care about? More debt, more illegal immigration, etc.
When do you become a registered Democrat?
Great, the proposed reform Republicans blocked didn’t do that.Reform is great so long as it does not include automatic citizenship for 30M illegals here now. We did that back in the 80s and the experiment failed.
They get deported first then we can talk.

Because the cheapest places in the country are full of maga (and mega) racists that also form the core constituency of these grievance/culture war politicians?I think for any who are fooled into going and/or sent against their will you're right, it is human trafficking and I'm not sure why nothing is being done.

It's also super dumb from a policy perspective - why would you house migrants in the most expensive housing in the country?
If we had an open boarder, over 2 million of them wouldn't have been arrested.2.76 million undocumented immigrants entered the U.S. in 2022. That's an open border.
i didn't know congress wasn't part of the federal government.NY Dem Gov is blaming Biden:
Hochul blames Biden as NY migrant numbers swell, calls for more support

Gov. Hochul said Thursday that she had sent a letter to the White House asking for more support for migrants pouring into New York City, placing responsibility for the crisis at President Biden’s feet in her first major address on the issue.
“Barring much-needed changes at the border, there does not appear to be a solution,” Hochul said in a 10-minute speech. “This crisis originated with the federal government, and it must be resolved through the federal government.”
Hochul, who faces growing political pressure to help the city with the crisis, stopped short of making any significant new state commitments in the speech. The state has allocated about $1.5 billion to support the migrants, the governor said.
Her three-page letter to Biden asks the federal government to deliver more funds, expedite migrants’ work papers and provide more spaces to serve as shelters.
