Border Bill Is National Disaster

Biden could revert back to Trump policies of remain in Mexico, stop abusing the parole process and several other policies that worked, period, full stop. The rot in Biden’s handling is very apparent.
I think the courts said the stuff repubs saying what could Biden to do now is illegal. trump policies, especially the cages, severely traumatized children that will last their lifetimes

It was never “almost a done deal.”
Not after trump weighed in
 
Look what the folks on the other side are reduced to arguing. Because republicans have no legislative accomplishments to speak of since taking control of the House, their failure is now hailed as some sort of accomplishment. Sheez. 🙄
We are living in the upside down.
 
I can’t recall in my lifetime a democrat scuttling his own proposed bill. I’ve now seen Marco Rubio do that and Mark Lankford get censured in his home state for trying to do his job and produce a bipartisan bill. Is it a coincidence that this happened to both upon dealing with immigration? To Lankford’s credit, he has brushed himself off and knows how to pivot towards a winning Republican issue. Here he is just yesterday:

The amount of fake finger pointing by the progressive left in this thread, for nothing more than political gain, is amazing.
 
Not getting off topic but…
“Preborn babies”?????

Ok. I’m done here. Icanhelp1 I hope you manage to not be too much more racist today.

Democrats follow the party line whether it’s right or wrong. They know Biden’s border policy is a total disaster and yet they follow party lines, they’re cowards and this will reflect in 2024 elections. More national security advisors are screaming Biden’s border security strategy will result in terrorist strikes. Need to stop inflows of illegal migrants crossing our border period. If they claim they can close the border, stop asylum seekers when numbers reach 5000 they can stop at zero, it’s all smoking mirrors, bunch of crap.

I just listened to a Border Control official who is currently on the border and he totally disagrees with you.

I'll believe him instead of your histrionic trump water-carrying ass.

Yes, Biden can shut off asylum claims temporarily... But it's subjective.... And not doing so isn't ignoring the law., as you keep suggesting.
 
The “border bill” didn’t fall. Biden’s supplemental spending bill failed. It failed because despite his 36 years in the Senate, Biden didn’t remember how Congress works. He insisted that aid to Ukraine, Israel, and the border, (an issue that Congress has failed to resolve for decades) be linked together. Putting 2 Democratic senators and one GOP senator in a closed room to secretly negotiate a a comprehensive bill packed objectionable provisions the GOP would never accept, releasing on a Sunday night, and expecting it to pass just days later was nuts.
The border bill was more of a Ukraine bill.

The President is full of shit as usual. The Speaker read to his face the words of the statutes that give him all of the authority he needs to close the border. He was just as full of shit in Las Vegas the other day when he said he had recently talked to a French President who has been dead since 1996.

He can shut it down temporarily. The right wing dream of completely shutting down between ports of entry permanently will never happen..

The Senate bill would've shut it down for an extended period of time automatically on day one. It would also have expedited deportations and severely restricted catch and release.

Those cages belong to Obama. 85,000 migrant children missing under Biden’s watch.

Guy who would've not let children across the border is concerned about children who claimed asylum after they crossed the border.

Guess you maybe wouldn't shoot them to prevent them from crossing the border.... Maybe.

Let's deal with some facts. The majority of those "children" were teen males (and still are). Our law, and society, allows them to be counted as "children" but they are anything but "children." They are very much street wise autonomous individuals. We will be dealing with them under our criminal laws soon enough. There were some pre-teens in the mix but they were the minority.

If congress, the senate in particular, is serious about patching up our immigration laws, and they should be, especially the democrats, they should send a clean bill not tied to other foreign aid packages to the house. (Upwards of 70% of the US population are pissed off about what's happening at the border.)

Further, the various politicians need to go before the public and make their case pro or con concerning the flood we're experiencing at the border. None of the "it's the 'right' thing to do" bullshit. I CAN make a case for increased immigration to this nation, I CANNOT make a case for uncontrolled and illegal immigration.

Here are some interesting facts regarding asylum seeker's.

So our law.

Got it.
Glad you believe in the enforcement of the law and so you agree that they are children.

Republicans said it needed to be tied to foreign aid and Democrats obliged.

Either they can claim asylum or they can't. The current law says they need to have their case heard in immigration court. Biden has enacted a policy that claims be submitted online prior to getting here. The Senate bill gave more power to CBP and border immigration officials to swiftly deport those who are rejected.
 
Bipartisan Border Bill Update: Five Democrats voted AGAINST advancing the bipartisan border bill. Four Republicans voted in FAVOR of advancing it. It never had a chance of passing. Needed 60 votes to pass.
 
They just voted down a standalone foreign aid bill. Schumer should have submitted the border bill as a standalone bill first.
 
So the Senate bill, which expanded HR2 is DOA. HR2 is DOA.

Apparently the President must temporarily take action to kick the can down the road again.

One of the expansions was the 5,000 illegal crossings per day provision. Nonstarter.
 
What was wrong with Trump's plan of shutting off the border completely and having fire trucks to lift all the cattle over the wall so they could drink from the river?

Either you accept that legal asylum claims happen outside of ports of entry or you reject actual reality. Any law or policy that stipulates otherwise has been struck down. Putting a cap on that and increasing border patrol will reduce those claims and will survive court challenges.
