You mean when they tried to kill the border wall completion and sell the unused materials for scrap, or when America was overrun by 10s of millions of new immigrants thanks to backwards leftist policies? If you call that beefing up...
You mean when they tried to kill the border wall completion and sell the unused materials for scrap, or when America was overrun by 10s of millions of new immigrants thanks to backwards leftist policies? If you call that beefing up...Daily reminder - the Democrats have spent the last 15 years attempting to beef up border enforcement only for Republicans to torpedo all efforts.
When you say 10s of millions, can you source that? Cause I'd think that the only way to really source that would be via census?
Joe Biden prevented the 2020 census from collecting that information…..When you say 10s of millions, can you source that? Cause I'd think that the only way to really source that would be via census?
Hardworking people that pick the food you eat, because you feel that type of labor is beneath white people, is a mess? Fuck youDecades of open borders and catch and release put us in this mess in the first place. Every other country except America is tough on that crime.

Fact you won't like;
US born citizens commit crimes at a higher rate, than undocumented citizens.Trump is a 34 times convicted felonThe congress is ripe with members with a criminal past, or such poor credit they can't get a credit card.
... immigrants contribute vastly more in tax dollars than they get to use on the other side
https://thehill.com/opinion/immigra...ants-pay-more-than-their-fair-share-of-taxes/This might actually be wrong.
I talked with an illegal immigrant like 3 months ago who stated.. "How can Americans be so stupid?" I get healthcare for free, while my wife an American citizen has to pay a crazy amount for insurance and she can't afford the care I can.
Yes he's married to an American woman, has kids here, been here 25+ years, kids almost in college but he can never get a green card as he's black listed with a pending deportation order.
No, I mean when they repeatedly tried to spend tens of billions of extra dollars on immigration enforcement and processing.You mean when they tried to kill the border wall completion and sell the unused materials for scrap, or when America was overrun by 10s of millions of new immigrants thanks to backwards leftist policies?

Nothing wrong with legal immigrants. They do work hard and usually strive to earn citizenship.... immigrants contribute vastly more in tax dollars than they get to use on the other side
I agree that both sides have taken advantage of cheap immigrant labor for decades.No, I mean when they repeatedly tried to spend tens of billions of extra dollars on immigration enforcement and processing.
You know, spending the money for an actually useful purpose instead of a joke of a wall.
This is of course because they affirmatively do not want to solve the problem. Republicans LOVE illegal immigration as it gives them a campaign tool for other things like tax cuts for rich people or, in this case, an authoritarian takeover.

Hopefully Dems are now ready to approve any immigration reform measures Republicans propose
Hopefully Republicans are ready to approve bipartisan immigration reform that already passed the senate, right?I agree that both sides have taken advantage of cheap immigrant labor for decades.

The issue is they aren't able to be honest with what they want as it's hideously unpopular. Like @FelixDeCat they claim to have no problem with legal immigration, only illegal immigration.That's really the issue, isn't it? They've never really been able to define (with specifics) what exactly the "border/immigration crisis" is. Hint: it's because there really isn't a problem at all when you look at (and can understand) all the statistics.

But you can't crash the border and just whatever willy nilly.
Fuck off, lying Nazi.You mean when they tried to kill the border wall completion and sell the unused materials for scrap, or when America was overrun by 10s of millions of new immigrants thanks to backwards leftist policies? If you call that beefing up...
The funny thing is that liberalizing immigration policy would probably poll really well after being implemented (but poll very poorly beforehand), because it would provide clear and easy paths for people to follow for residency and/or citizenship, instead of the harsh morass that exists today.No, I mean when they repeatedly tried to spend tens of billions of extra dollars on immigration enforcement and processing.

In theory it means everyone gets what they want - as I said though the problem is conservatives aren't honest about what they want.The funny thing is that liberalizing immigration policy would probably poll really well after being implemented (but poll very poorly beforehand), because it would provide clear and easy paths for people to follow for residency and/or citizenship, instead of the harsh morass that exists today.
Stop lying, you don't support legal immigration and that's why republicans torpedo any bill that would actually fix our shitty broken immigration process.Nothing wrong with legal immigrants. They do work hard and usually strive to earn citizenship.

As McConnell would have put it "To fix immigration is a power grab by the democrats".Ding ding ding!
I seem to remember under Bush there was an agreement on immigration reform in 2005 but the Republicans themselves tanked the bill!
We had porous not open borders. Dems put forth a good solution that Trump shot down by making phone calls. When that failed Biden took too long to take action.Decades of open borders and catch and release put us in this mess in the first place. Every other country except America is tough on that crime.
