    And this was accomplished how? BTW did Mexico sign an agreement? And it appears it was a legal quagmire

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remai...icially Migrant,across the border with Mexico.

    This is why it needs a legislative bill - like the one the senate just wrote

    In showing their contempt for the U.S. Border Patrol Union, Trump toadies have effectively aided and abetted all undocumented immigration in the foreseeable future.

    They now own it.

    Biden could have fixed this emergency that is killing Americans on a vast scale with fentynal and other drugs, human trafficking, and general cartel murders and gang violence, (and hopefully not terrorists/other foreign agents with intent to subvert or attack), with a simple proclamation, as is his authority to do, for his entire presidency.

    Take that $75B and massively upgrade our artillery shell and drone production capacity. Build a few million shells, here, with US jobs. Keep 95% of the shells here in the US. The same for drones.

    The purpose is twofold: (1) replenish our stockpiles of weapons that are clearly needed to conduct modern warfare at scale, and (2) Putin needs to know that we can match Russia's production, so that we can use our new capacity, and growing stockpile, as a chip at the negotiations that must occur over Ukraine (if Putin thinks that he doesn't have absolute dominance in 155M shells, he will be more likely to negotiate, and offer more).

    The above would be a much better use of the money for America. No more direct money to Israel or Ukraine. Fund the weapons with a bill now, and vote on different bills down the road as to whether to send the weapons, and how many.

    But Ukraine and Israel are separate issues from securing the US border!

    Lollers how about the left gets it out of their controlled chamber in the senate before they start blaming republicans for not passing it lol

    Cause as of now, they should have the votes as long as all the democrats agree. Oh but they're not all agreeing are they?

    So tell me how the republicans own it?

    That "left" that festers in your noggin is a pip!

    Why do you suppose it tries to enact bipartisan legislation that addresses border security?

    The border bill just expedites the process for those who want to come. Up to 5000 a day. o_O

    IT DOESNT DISCOURAGE. AT ALL.

    Not in the least bit.

    I guess I thank it for being mask off though.

    It is remarkable that Trump lickspittles would kill bipartisan legislation enhancing border security, endorsed by the Border Patrol Union, sabotaging the national interests, to placate the Cry Baby Loser.

    What will the Loser order his quislings to try next?

    You don't need the republicans to get it out of the senate. So what's the problem?

    Cause that appears as tho your Dems are going to sink it.

    maybe you need to get Menendez and Padilla on board before you start blaming republicans lol

    My understanding of this, the border closes at 5000 per day, all above 5000 are turned back. The 5000, which they can handle and process in 24 hours are not released, 95% (especially single males) will be deported in 24 hours under the new proposed law as it's really tightens up on "amnesty", etc.. These new legal (Trump was using a "covid/pandemic" statue) "power" will discourage in time more migration. Lots of media source have reported on this even the head of the Trump supporting border union whom I saw speak specifically of this on Ingram. I have not read the actual bill however :)!

    I tell y'all what. Make that 100 illegals a day and yall will have a deal.

    How bout it?

    And for the record the border union will take ANY proposal that makes their lives easier, even if it's only slightly given that they've been defunded and vilified by the left for decades now.

    If that's where your "mind" takes you as a cogent rebuttal, I'd suggest you are looking for a comfort goalpost as this, your comment, seems like it's unrelated to the current proposed bill and simply trying to get a silly rabbit chase on deck.

    Wait I don't understand. Why 5,000?

    Why not 100? Or 500? Why do we have to wait for 5,000 criminals to be addressed before we shut down the border?

    Why? Because the democrats have NO INTEREST in shutting down the border. They want to make it APPEAR as though they care about the border so they don't get slapped around in the election.

    If they ACTUALLY cared about stopping the border crossings the number wouldn't be 5,000 per day. It would be 100 or 200 or MAYBE 500.

    It should be zero. Why don't we just shut down the border? If we can do it at 5,000 why can't we do it at zero?

    ******n bro, 5,000 per day is 1,825,000 illegals in a year. And that's just the ones we CATCH.

    That's the bill and the Senate agreement. If I was applying logic vs wanting the border issue only as a election cudgel ( Trump had the WH, both branches of Congress and much more migration than Obama to deal with and Covid shut the border down), I would say that the border agents and the courts are able to actually process 5000 asylum claims/deportations daily, hence the number agreed on. Covid shut down more than the border, it shut down the economy, closing the entire border even just to letting in supplies and commerce would also affect the economy.

    However, we are straying to that comfort zone that is not in my post you quoted which was addressing the comments of the border patrol union claims about the proposed bill and how it actually helps them.

    lol it's unrelated? Explain why we have to address 5,000 illegals before we shut down the border. If we can shut it down at 5,000 why can't we shut it down at zero? Or 100?

    The proper number of nation rapists penetrating our border without consent is 0. That is a zero. Nada. None. Nix. Nil. Zilch. Zip. Zippo. Goose Egg.
    This violence against the USA must stop. But that is not what the powers that be want.
    Example explanation of what is really happening.



    But this "compromise deal" was so strange. Usually, you give and get in a compromise. This one? "Let us rape you or we won't rob you blind, take your money, send it to foreign governments to fund wars that put your children's lives in danger." There is NO upside to this.

    Even extremist Chip Roy is dismissing the Loser and his Congressional Trumphumps' fraudulently targeting the President, noting Trump's four years of impotence in security the border.

    Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) took a dig at former President Trump in a House floor speech on Tuesday, denying the former president’s claim that any executive could unilaterally close the southern border.

    Trump’s comments in a social media post Tuesday came after House Republicans shut down a bipartisan Senate border security bill, claiming that President Biden should instead unilaterally stop all migrants from entering the U.S. using executive orders.

    Screen Shot 2024-02-07 at 9.17.20 AM.png

    “No, we’re not just going to pass the buck and say that, ‘Oh, any president can walk in and secure the border,’” Roy said, referring to Trump’s post. “All a president has to do is declare the border’s closed, and it’s closed. Well, with all due respect, that didn’t happen in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. There were millions of people that came in the United States during those four years.”

    Based off the bullet points it doesn't do any of what you are suggesting. And I don't see how any of this policy would discourage over time. In fact it would absolutely INCOURAGE. "they accept up to 5k a day! You could be one of them!"

    See their argument for not just shutting down the border is "oh but amnesty".

    If you are requesting amnesty you do so at a registered port of entry. If you are not at a registered port of entry you do not qualify for amnesty. Case closed.

    Hence there is NO justification for the 5,000. NONE of them qualify for amnesty because they aren't at a registered port of entry. There's no reason to "process 5,000". They are ALL illegal and NONE of them qualify for amnesty. Not a damn ONE of them should be allowed to come in or even be considered for "processing".

    The border should be closed for ALL illegals who don't request amnesty at a port of entry. Not only closed if we reach 5,000 of them. What the actual ****.

    Trump relentlessly maintained that he had Covid "under control."

    Again, this rightwing border obsessive nailed the Cry Baby Loser:

    Trump’s comments in a social media post Tuesday came after House Republicans shut down a bipartisan Senate border security bill, claiming that President Biden should instead unilaterally stop all migrants from entering the U.S. using executive orders.

    Stop reach for a strawman to rail against and go back and read my post that put you in the place you are trying to get to. You can't. I simply added context to another poster's post. If you don't like it, run for office.
