Open Borders bill

Axxowiz · 2018-10-10T01:32:09.545Z

If you have an estimated 12+ million illegals in your country you have no borders or at the very best they are worthless.

Something like 30 or 40% of undocumented people in this country are visa overstays.

So Trump said there was a bill in congress that is backed by democrats in congress right now. Can some Trump support please link to this or explain why crowd would cheer him on when it was a lie?

PolitiFact | Donald Trump falsely claims there's an 'open borders bill' backed by Democrats

I kinda hope it is an outright lie. Then Libs will be put on notice that if they are gonna lie about us, we will fight fire with fire. There is no high road when fighting vermin.

I believe this is an MLK line.

In other words, fat donald lied again.
Hyperbole= lies.
The truth isn’t the truth.

Trump-hating = Trump-hating.

Any criticism of trump no matter what it is=trump hating.

Pretty much, if you don’t do something to assure they show up. Interior enforcement is meager, so if you make it past the border you can just disappear. California will at that point consider you a valued member of the community and help you avoid law enforcement.

Is that different than what we currently have? Does that mean that doing nothing is ensuring “open borders”?

Does not enforcing our immigration laws equate to “open borders”? Absolutely. If you don’t enforce your laws then you might as well do away with immigration laws…i.e. open borders.

Yep but the number from coming south of the border dwarfs the rest.

Just a few months ago CNBC of all places were showing how big of a problem we have on the border.

Only when it’s politically expedient. Remember a few weeks ago when they were whining about kids being in ICE detention camps? Babies dying in captivity? Because Republicans hate foreigners. Obviously.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-10T05:45:01.022Z

Mindless criticism of Trump absolutely. The man can be an idiot at times. Even a broken clock is right twice a day though.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-10T05:57:45.442Z

If you also notice, the article is pointing out failed border crossings resulting in apprehensions. In other words, they’re up from the prior year because we’re actually enforcing immigration laws now so more people are being apprehended when attempting to cross the border illegally instead of merely turned around at the border like the previous administration was doing to make their numbers look good. It also shows that attempts to cross the border illegally are up from a year ago, not down. Another lie from the liberals trying to do away with enforcement of immigration laws.

Would you consider the current immigration enforcement and past enforcement “open borders”?

wiley8425 · 2018-10-11T00:06:04.357Z

You seem confused. The “past enforcement” was lacking. The law is actually being enforced now. Hence the huge difference in the number of apprehensions on the border this year vs. last year as illustrated in the article that was just posted.

What? Where does the OP state that? I’m confused?? Pffft.
Your statement seems very false to me.
Apprehensions in 2016 - 611,689
Apprehensions in 2017 - 341,061

What specifically do you think that Trump’s team is doing differently than Obama’s. I know they started this zero tolerance program but that practice of separating families has been widely shunned. What else is Trump doing to enforce the laws differently.

Before you answer, don’t forget that Obama still holds the moniker of “Deporter in Chief”

kingarthur65 · 2018-10-11T00:23:27.368Z

Just noticed you referenced earlier article, not OP. My mistake on that part.

Damn edit button, where are you?

wiley8425 · 2018-10-11T00:45:46.575Z

The article I’m talking about was using numbers from THIS year vs. Last year. Not surprised you had to go back to the year before last though. And yes Obama was the deporter in Chief. Probably the result of turning around people at the border and calling that deportation to make the numbers look better, kind of like I just mentioned.

Trump was President LAST year too. Obama, the year before that.

Can you provide how laws are being enforced differently than they were during Obama’s term?

I want to stay on my point here Which is that the Dems are backing an open borders bill. According to @DougBH statement. You state that the laws we have a fine and now being enforced appropriately. What do you see is being done differently.

wiley8425 · 2018-10-11T01:29:48.430Z

Apprehensions at the border for one. There’s also been more interior enforcement, hence the uptick in ICE raids in metro areas and the uproar from liberals about how unfair it all is.

I’m aware of when Trump was elected. Do you think Obama’s changes went into full effect the first year he was in office too? And I never said the laws are fine. Clearly, they’re not, or we wouldn’t have so many getting caught trying to cross the border illegally. But stick with the Dems narrative. Obviously the real numbers don’t matter.

How long did it take to enforce the zero tolerance policy of separating families?

Apprehensions at the border are down, year over year. I don’t see any policy change that has affected that. Do you?

Interior enforcement? What was the policy change? Stop targeting criminals and go after anyone?

You were just shown they are up this year from last year. CNBC was trying to point that out as a failure of current policy. Oh the irony.

The article you cited compares one month (march 2018 to march 2017). Both of which are under Trump. Try looking at the annual data.
