    • Failure to meet thread creation guidelines
    “Democrats and some Republicans are not listening to the American people, Johnson said Wednesday, adding:

    They’re crying out to the Biden administration to secure the border. This is not a Republican issue. It’s an issue for every single person, and everybody knows it.

    We know the stories of children being poisoned by fentanyl. Cities [are] being overwhelmed by migrant surges. House Republicans have shown we are listening to and holding the administration accountable for this catastrophe. We’re listening to the people, taking action to holdBiden accountable.

    Last night, the House voted to approve articles of impeachment against [border chief] Secretary Mayorkas. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We had to do that. He has abdicated his responsibility. He’s breached the public trust and he’s disregarded the laws Congress has passed.

    But much more has to be done, of course, to secure the border and what the Senate produced this week [the $95 billion aid bill] is silent on that issue…


    …The Republican House will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign aid bill that was opposed by most Republican senators and does nothing to secure our own border.

    It’s time for Washington to start showing some love to Americans. Valentine’s Day is a good day to point this out.

    We need to listen to the American people and their needs and take action. And that’s why House leadership will continue to govern with Americans’ interests at heart…

    The speaker is right. Government should pay attention to the needs and desires of ordinary Americans. The big news is that no foreign aid will be approved by the house until the regime agrees to control the border to the satisfaction of the House majority.

    The House needs to stand firm and make sure that Biden doesn’t get a dime for Ukraine until he meets at least some of the wishes of the house majority that passed HR2

    Well, not those Americans who are poor, have student loans, are LGBTQ+, or want an abortion. Those Americans need to be exiled.

    The House passed its border bill long ago and if Biden wants what he wants in foreign aid, he’s going to have to compromise and give something the house wants in return. Biden and Schumer thought they could jam the house. They are wrong.

    There is nothing Biden could do that would get republicans to say he’s strong on the border.

    The House rejected the Senate border deal after they themselves, including Crooked Donnie, insisted that the Senate work on (for 4 month) a bipartisan deal to fund the border in order to get Israel and Ukie aid passed. Then when a deal was eminent, the did the Trump 3 Card Monty and made up impossible excuses. You seem unable to process what's actually happening?

    Biden has done nothing to make anyone say that he’s been strong on the border.

    That proposed “deal” was a disaster.

    Says you, the Senate deal was at the request of the House in October or November and when the deal materialized, Trump wanted the border as a campaign issue and instructed the House to kill it, national security and border funding be damned. IOWs, he, again, put what he thought was best for him over country.

    Own it!

    "We know the stories of children being poisoned by fentanyl."

    Ah yes, the children.



    'The Truth About Fentanyl Trafficking'
    April 12, 2023

    snip:

    'Fentanyl Trafficking Is an American Crime'


    Republicans want voters to think that undocumented immigrants are running across the border with backpacks full of fentanyl.5 But here are the key facts:




      • United States citizens comprised 86% of fentanyl trafficking convictions in 2021.6 1,322 of the 1,533 charged fentanyl trafficking offenders were US citizens.7 Even the CATO Institute, a libertarian think tank, acknowledges this point. In fact, just 0.02% of people arrested by Border Patrol for illegally crossing possessed fentanyl.8
      • More than 96% of fentanyl seizures along the border since the start of fiscal year 2023 have been at legal US ports of entry.9 Fentanyl is rarely carried over the border through the desert. It’s being smuggled across legal points of entry inside seat cushions, car batteries, even inside the metal frame of a walker.
      • Fentanyl deaths have been on the rise for the past decade.10 Overdose deaths from fentanyl aren’t new or a unique Biden Administration problem. Fentanyl deaths have been increasing since 2014, with significant increases during the Trump Administration. From 2016 to 2020, fentanyl deaths in the US increased by 191%, compared to a 25% increase from 2020 to 2021.11
      • 90% of fentanyl seized by CBP was at U.S. border crossings into Arizona and California.12 While Texas Republicans point to undocumented immigrants in their state as fentanyl drug smugglers and traffickers, almost all fentanyl seized by CBP was at legal points of entry in Arizona and California.

    Bribed Joe doesn't care what Americans want, he wants folks who disagree with him to shut up.

    The core provision in the Democrat / RINO Republican border bill would have allowed 5,000 illegals to cross the border every day before the president would be obligated to close it. That translates to 1,825,000 illegal crossings per year which is little improvement over what we have now.

    Furthermore, many of us do not trust Biden on this issue. He has ignored the immigration laws since he took office. There is no reason to believe that his administration would enforce the law now.

    Pass all the legislation in the world, it’s meaningless if the morons in power choose not to enforce it.

    We don’t have a lack of laws problem. We don’t have a money problem. We have an unwillingness to actually stop illegal immigration problem. And that lands squarely on decrepit dipshit in chief
