    Here we are at a time in our history when the sovereign state of Texas is attempting to prevent illegal aliens from many countries from crossing their southern border with Mexico by deploying buoy barriers and the U.S. president is threatening to sue Texas for not removing the buoys. I'm glad I didn't vote for Biden and I'll not vote for him a second time.

    So your ignoring the fact that the reason is because Mexico is objecting to the buoys.

    How about we defend our borders for once?

    They say they want immigration reform, do liberals. But their actions scream open borders.

    Ronald Reagan - the hero of the right - gave amnesty to 3 million illegals and set the stage for this. Many of grandparents voted for Ronald Reagan.
    Ergo ...

    What is their objection? Are the buoys in our territory, or theirs?

    I believe that the Rio Grande is considered international waters.

    Who cares? Mexico is letting these illegals travel through their country, in some cases giving them rides to the border.

    My neighbor has huge dog in his yard. If a an uninvited guest tried to enter his property would you say owning a dog is now barbaric?

    Their idea of having no illegals is to make them all legal. yes, Kamala Harris actually proposed that idea.

    If a small child wanders into your neighbors yard, would you try to stop the dog from chewing on the child, or would you cheer it on?
    Do we really want a young mother carrying a small child to get tangled in barbed wire and drown with her child?

    And these Mother****** call themselves "Christian". Whatever.

    one of a few things i didn't like about Reagan. also thought his gun stance was ****. thought the same of trump on that issue as well.

    pointing out past shittiness doesn't excuse current shittiness. letting cartels traffic children into our country is the most shameful legacy of Biden. Obama deported them.

    Biden doesn't want them to have amnesty he wants them to be a lower caste. granting amnesty was the best option at the time but also during Regan's terms there wasn't funded caravans' trough an entire continent created just to destabilize our country.

    If I saw a mother carrying a small child into the backyard with a big ass dog who could bite her, then I'd try to stop her, it would be the Christian thing to do. Are you OK with Mexico saying 'go ahead and risk your life traveling through our country in 100+ degree heat and then hitting a razor wire barrier. We only care about you getting there and staying the F out of Mexico."

    BTW, do you know what a border is and means? It means this is my property and you're not allowed on it unless I invite you in.

    Remember when the left said to use technology instead of a wall? This is the technology you guys wanted.

    Yup, dude - I know what a border is ... but I also understand the concept of "mercy".

    Hopefully he is. Mexico is more than motivated to dump the illegals to the other side of the river.

    You sound to me like someone walking into a Nazi concentration camp and in their haste to help, tosses so much food at the starving Jews he inadvertently kills them.

    That isn’t merciful. It’s irresponsible stupidity.

    Likewise, there is nothing merciful about cartels getting billions of dollars. There is nothing merciful about immigrants dying to get here. There is nothing merciful about the drugs that are flowing across our border killing and addicting Americans. There is nothing merciful of the child and sex trafficking.

    Your way is disgusting inhumanity disguised as mercy.

    Because they are illegal.

    The Justice Department today filed a civil complaint against the State of Texas because the state has built a floating barrier, consisting of buoys strung together, in the Rio Grande River without the federal authorization that is legally required under the Rivers and Harbors Act. The complaint seeks to enjoin the building of the barrier and to require the state to remove it.

    Biden should be the one putting the river barriers in but he's for open borders.

    The decent hard-working Texans' taxes are helping to pay Biden's salary. The illegals, druggies, and criminals crashing our southern border are being given some of that tax money by Biden. Is this a screwed-up administration, or what? I'm glad I didn't vote for that democrat bozo.
