Harris on Border

Politics
1

I know and understand Kamala wants to stop illegal immigration on Day One. I also know the evil republicans stopped the comprehensive immigration law the democrats had wanted that would have solved the crisis.

What I am confused about is the 87k additional IRS workers that Biden/Harris wanted. I do know the evil republicans stopped the funding for those positions. Instead of hiring 87k workers for the IRS, why didnt they hire 87k workers for Border Patrol if it held such importance for their administration? Imagine the backlash and the talking points if the evil republicans attempted to stop funding for border patrol positions.

I’m thinking perhaps Biden/ Harris never cared about the border at all. What say you?

Any increases in positions for the border would be in the form of administrative personnel. The job of those new employees would be to speed up the processing of those turning themselves in, so they could more quickly be released into the interior of our country. It isn’t about actually securing the border, it is about speeding up their movement from the border and into our communities.

Exactly. David Muir should ask her if she plans on deporting criminal invaders. But he won’t. Trump might need to aske her directly.

Because turning the screws on the middle class with increased tax audits will always take priority over a secure border.

You know her political convictions she proclaims are bs, when you have to use cue cards to get through an interview.

Kamala says A LOT of things that want to change on day 1, but why hasn’t she and her party done anything over the last 3.75 years? Because they never planned on it… because it’s easier to control people when a country is in ruin… not when prices are downs and the people flourish. Their plan is nationwide domination by inflating everything that creates mass chaos, collect their dividends from it and say “Hey, we are the government and we are here to help… as long as you comply with our mandates and censorship.” Hmmm, sounds much like China and North Korea. Communism seeks for everything to look good on it’s outer shell and wreaks havoc on it’s citizens.

The idea of letting unvetted migrants in the US and funding internal contacts to move them further into the country is to place them in fundamentally conservative regions in hopes that they flourish and become liberal seeds for the future of the party. What they are failing to realize is that many of them are looking to escape the hardships and violence in their own countries of residence. They are hard-working and generally conservative. This migrant mess is going to completely back fire on the leftist party… well because propaganda doesn’t work forever.

Let’s just Vote for DJT/Vance and start taking care of all of this chaos started by opposition.

Of course they cared. The objective is to get these millions of illegal invaders registered to vote and be good little Dimbulbcrat dependents voting for Dims into perpetuity. A one party rule, you know, communism.

The border funding bill that they wanted to pass had funding for thousands of BP agents, asylum processors and other border staff positions.

Not true.

This amount includes $405 million to hire 1,300 additional Border Patrol Agents to secure the border, $239 million to hire 1,000 additional CBP Officers to stop illicit fentanyl and other contraband from entering the U.S., $755 million to hire an additional 1,600 Asylum Officers and support staff to facilitate timely i

Here’s the reality:

The figure refers to all employees, not solely auditors
The 87,000 figure comes from a 2021 Treasury report that estimated the IRS could hire 86,852 full-time employees over the course of a decade with a nearly $80 billion investment – not solely enforcement agents.

And all those new employees can’t be hired overnight. The money will flow to the IRS over a 10-year period.

“The reality is the $80 billion boost would be spread throughout the agency, with money flowing to enforcement, taxpayer services, operations, and modernization,” wrote Janet Holtzblatt, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

The Inflation Reduction Act dictates that about $45.6 billion will go toward strengthening enforcement activities – including collecting taxes owed, providing legal support, conducting criminal investigations and providing digital asset monitoring. But the IRS has not specified how many auditors will be hired.

More than $25 billion is allocated to support IRS operations, including expenses like rent payments, printing, postage and telecommunications.

Nearly $4.8 billion can be used for modernizing the agency’s customer service technology, like developing a callback service.

Roughly $3 billion is allocated for taxpayer assistance, filing and account services.

Many new hires will be replacements
Many of the new hires will be replacing staff that the IRS has already lost or is expected to lose through attrition in coming years.

Last year, then-IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig told lawmakers that staffing has shrunk to 1970s levels and that the IRS would need to hire 52,000 people over the next six years just to maintain current staffing levels to replace those who retire or otherwise leave.

This…today…is day 1 and yet, she is not doing squat. What you’re seeing today, is what you’ll see tomorrow and for four years by voting for her. Just consider her flip/flops on current issues. Do you really believe she’ll follow through? If she’s right about these things, then you have to admit she’s been wrong for years and Trump has been right. Let’s skip the bull feces and simply vote for who it is that’s been right all along. All one has to do is eliminate the TDS from their brain. Now the actual question is, are you mentally big enough to do it?

Any good aspects of the bill were tied with the poison pill of not being able to close down the border until the left DC court agreed it was proven over 4000 illegal crossings occurred in a single day. This would prevent Trump, if elected, from securing the border.
The problem was not primarily the law, but enforcing the existing law. If Biden or Kamala were elected, they could just ignore enforcing the new law.

What the heck would more border patrol have done when the existing ones were used to process and release illegals and to stop Texas from securing the border?
