But there really is no evidence of that. It's just rhetoric. It might feel good but as far as I can tell there is no substance to those kinds of claims.
It isn't perfect. Nothing is. The border wall along with electronic monitoring, the Border Control patrols, remain in Mexico policy etc... All these work together to reduce illegal entry and allow a regulated controlled legal immigrant entry. And also reduces the flooding of illegal entry and the drugs and the trucks left abandoned in the desert packed full of smuggled dead migrants.
As it stands now we are aiding the death and drugs along with who knows what else. The border is out of control and we have no idea what is coming in.
Are trucks full of migrants off roading across large swaths of borderland or are they coming through roads and checkpoints that are already monitored?
If you want to make the argument of more of a border presence, checkpoints, personnel, etc...fine. But how does a wall stop a semi truck that I assume is likely coming through already established roads and points of entry.
I guess you didn't get the memo where Trump surrounded himself with Trumper SS personnel. That whole organization should have had a total housecleaning when Biden got in office.Just "a source" but this case needed to already be airtight given that they're going on sworn testimony only...and now this gives the RW ecosystem another get out of jail free card...
Put up or shut time, geek.OMG, really you are asking this?
Do you think it is under control?
She identified several actual witnesses to these events. Watch who gets subpoenaed or shows up for depositions next.Well, some guy reported that some guy who is close to some other guys said those guys are willing to testify.
Really, this account that was told to Cassidy Hutchinson is just a wild sideline to the meat of her testimony. It really should be ignored unless someone with actual first-hand knowledge testifies.
I'm was again shocked beyond belief.
the vast majority of so-called Shocking Reveals thus far have not been shocking and not really a reveal.
I am disappointed in the commission but not really surprised either.
I would say that it's pretty commonly understood that the term "leftist" is used for people who are DSA-types, anti-capitalists, communists, and other radical-left types, not those that would fall into the center-left/progressive camp. If you didn't mean it that way, well, it's not my fault you're using language in non-standard ways.

It's not my fault you are using the word in opposition of the dictionary meaning.
You might have had a point IF I had said Extreme Leftist, but I didn't.

I’m asking what facts and figures have led you to your conclusion. You don’t need to dig up specific ones, just interested in the general categories.
But there really is no evidence of that. It's just rhetoric. It might feel good but as far as I can tell there is no substance to those kinds of claims.
It boggles my mind that anyone could have voted for Trump in 2020 because at that point it was obvious he was a mentally I’ll criminal.
For people who say they couldn’t vote for Biden because he was too liberal my only thought is they need to grow up. I would have voted for ANY Republican not directly complicit in Trump’s criminal activity if they were the only alternative, even though I would totally hate their policies. Sometimes you have to put country first and that meant voting Biden.
Well what we are doing now isn't working at all.
So you tell me what does work?
Big emphasis on your last suggestion.I have some ideas:
Increased legal immigration, especially from Central/South America
A fairly liberal jobs based visa program for migrants from the same area
Ending the drug war to increase regional political stability and safety
Investments in climate adaptation for the Southern Hemisphere to reduce mass migration events
Encourage or even subsidize business expansion in these areas to create greater local economic prosperity to dampen impulses to migrate
IMO is if there is one truck with 50 dead migrants locked in the rear and many others on the edge of death that is too many. There are so many coming across that the border patrol do not have enough people to properly vet and monitor any areas properly. The administrations policies are encouraging the illegal crossings and human smuggling by the cartels. This administration is basically an accomplice to human and drug smuggling.
He should be put back of active duty and court marshalled.

Possibly.I’d like to see him stripped of all stars if that happens. Run him back down to 2nd Lieutenant before dishonorable discharge. Wasn’t sure if that could be done.
^ Liar spreading lies. The Border Patrol is a bloated agency with more overpaid agents than they know what to do with. Previous administrations and Congress turned it into a jobs program for veterans returning from America’s foreign adventures with no thought to mission. The agency needs a house cleaning top to bottom.IMO is if there is one truck with 50 dead migrants locked in the rear and many others on the edge of death that is too many.

It's a little odd to say the border is out of control because the border patrol is arresting more people. Wouldn't that mean it was more under control?Do you think the Border is under control?
Nearly 1.06 Million CBP Encounters at Southwest Border Thus Far in FY 2022
The president may indeed have a border plan. It’s just one that focuses on the interests of the migrants themselves — not on the consequences of unrestrained illegal migration on our national security and sovereignty, or on the illegality that follows in its wake.cis.org
Even more illegal migrants expected in 2022, record 2.1 million - Washington Examiner
Having already set a record for illegal border crossings in 2021, the Biden administration is expected to invite even more to cross this year, setting up a bigger crisis along the Mexican border with Texas, Arizona, and California, according to a new analysis.Last year’s 1.7 million border...www.washingtonexaminer.com
The problem on the southern border is one of the nations own making. Both Republicans and Democrats have failed because they fail to see the bigger picture.
We need real immigration reform. I would suggest putting several Ellis Island type facilities down there. You get the word out that the only way to enter the US legally is through one of these facilities.
Then regarding the border you install more surveillance equipment and drones. You post signs that crossing this way is illegal if you are going this way then it is assumed you are dangerous criminal and border patrol can shoot to kill.
