Actually house conservatives. They killed the last immigration reform bill.If you’re looking to blame somebody Senate conservatives over the past 20 years is where you’d want to head.
As I said before nothing is 100%.
Why do you think the truck managed to get through with a trailer full of illegal's?
(hint: The border patrol is stretched too thin to properly protect the border.)
Do you ever tire of not knowing what you are talking about?B. S.
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?
I had a friend in CBP at San Ysidro and they encountered human smuggling like this all the time. This is certainly bigger than what they saw usually but this sort of thing is not uncommon.hint: they can't actually check every truck. it will slow down the border to the point it causes economic damage and you are completely wrong. In fact something like that was recently attempted, I don't even think it checked every commercial truck, but more than usual. And it backfired. Can you admit you don't know what you are talking about?
See what the fascist governor of Texas did recently, Abbott. He was being pissy about something and he asked the Border Patrol to start examining way more vehicles and trucks than they had historically. Guess what happened? It slowed the border crossings down to a crawl, causing tons of losses in produce and food products stuck there. Abbott actually caused supply chain issues for Americans by being a douche and doing what you think is smart.
Not only were Mexicans pissed, but some of Abbott's allies:
"We are supporters of Governor Abbott, but unfortunately we weren't taken into consideration," said Ernesto Gaytan, chairman of Texas Trucking Association, who said he'd been fielding calls from frustrated drivers since the order took effect.
Gaytan said migrants rarely tried to cross the border illegally via commercial trucks at legal ports of entry.
"Slowing down trade isn't the solution."
A Texas DPS spokesperson said that since Abbott's order was issued, the agency had inspected nearly 2,400 commercial vehicles and taken 552 vehicles out of service for "serious safety violations" such as defective brakes, tires and lighting.... [but no migrants apparently]
....Dante Galeazzi, president of the Texas International Produce Association, said the delays at the Pharr bridge alone had, since Friday, prevented an estimated $30 million of fresh produce from reaching the U.S. side.
"There are very likely to be store shelves devoid of fresh produce items this Easter holiday weekend," he said, warning that prices would rise for consumers if the delays continued.
Anger mounts along Texas-Mexico border over long delays to commercial crossings
Mexican truck drivers blockaded two busy bridges at the border with United States on Monday amid rising tensions on both sides over an order by Texas Governor Greg Abbott that has slowed commercial crossings between Mexico and Texas.www.reuters.com
But this was your metric? Why are you saying your own metric is bad?No. Just because they are arresting more doesn't equate that it is more under control when the numbers have gone so high.
Just for numbers say 100 people a day are attempting to cross illegally and the patrol are arresting 20 of them leaving 80 getting in illegally.
Then it goes up to 200 a day are attempting illegal entry and they are catching 40 of them leaving 160 getting in illegally.
Maybe you should send that information to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. So far what this Admin has / is doing isn't working and seems to be making it worse.
If you’re looking to blame somebody Senate conservatives over the past 20 years is where you’d want to head.
Obama and senate republicans came to a bipartisan deal to both improve legal immigration and border security. House republicans refused to even bring it to a vote because they were afraid it would pass.To be perfectly honest Congress, Senate and the Presidents have failed in this regard without passing legislation to correct the immigration problem / crisis.

My recollection is that Sessions and company sank the last deal prior to Trump (who magnificently screwed his own deal later).
edit: looked it up and you are correct, House that time.
Are you claiming trucks like this didn’t get through before? That seems very unlikely.

I didn't say to check every truck, did I?

When I asked for what your basis was that’s what you supplied.I never said the border is out of control because the border patrol is arresting more people. That was not my metric. That was a statement you pulled out of your buttocks.
I just refuted it with the post you responded too.
Sounds like Obama and the Senate were all ready to fix the problems at the border. House Republicans refused.As I said they have all failed to correct the problems at the border for decades...

What a killjoy, you want to take away one of the few semi-legitimate platform goals away from the GOP. They got abortion out of the way. Can't take another wedge issue from them. Must have THE OTHER to run against.Sounds like Obama and the Senate were all ready to fix the problems at the border. House Republicans refused.
It’s okay to put the blame where it lies.
