The Republicans are missing a GOLDEN opportunity

…Be honest.

Now you knew that wasn’t going to happen.

Doesn’t matter, it has to be 5k or more for a week straight. Who is gonna count? And they can only use that authority for so many days. Now tell us how will the smugglers get around the 5k a day for a week? Be honest.

It was 5,000 per day through legal ports of entry. It would have eliminated catch and release and when reached would have cut the number to 1,400. You let Trump kill a bill that would have been an improvement over the status quo all because he desperately needs to be president. That and he scares the crap out of house Republicans.

Can you not understand when it says that the border can only be “closed” like this a certain numbers of days a year? That means all the migrants have to do is time their invasion for days it is mandated to be open. You don’t think the coyotes can’t figure that out?
Further, current law allows for having migrants required to stay in third countries (I.e. stay in Mexico) now. The new law provides nothing as far as closing the border that is not already available. In fact, it would limit the authority of a President who really wanted to close the border to do so.

Which would have done nothing to slow the flow.

Edit - misread.

Which is more important, funding NPR or buying armor piercing rounds for Ukraine. Let them choose.

NPR’s budget is $300M. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.gives them less than 1% of that. So we wet the Democrats choose on less than $3M?

Is 5,000 less or more than 10,000?

That’s the same stupid ■■■■ the senile, dementia addled, blithering idiot is trying with inflation. ‘Look, you are only paying $6 for a dozen eggs now. That’s down from $8 so you should be touting how wonderful it is and how we are making the economy soar. Don’t pay attention to the fact you paid less than $2 just 3 years ago.’

Same ■■■■ different issue. Stop the gaslighting ■■■■■■■■■ We all see it and have rejected it.

Why oppose putting? It is an essential part of golf.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Care to comment on my brilliant idea?

I would end spending on NPR and Ukraine myself.

We have pissed away hundreds of billions on Ukraine border security and refuse to even build a wall on our border.

We are essentially broke ourselves.

I am with you on that.
WHERE is Nato.
This all started because of NATO.
Let them deal with ‘Putting’.

That’s right. If they are so concerned with ‘putting’ let them deal with him.

5000 is more than 1.

Biden doesn’t need a new federal immigration law already gives him the ability to close the border.

Oldandtired · 2024-02-18T02:59:51.469Z

The GOP can hold up the immigration bill the house passed months ago that the senate won’t bring to a vote or even discuss to show the democrats really don’t care about the border.
They are working on passing another immigration bill what’s going to be your excuse when the senate tosses that bill in the trash?
You all own what has happened on the border. All the GOP has to do is hold up the democrats open door bill and say if they can shut the border after 5,000 a day have entered. They can shut down the border so no one enters.

Why do you keep bringing up H.R. 2? From the get-go it had no chance to pass the Senate.

why do WE have to stop him?

We don’t. But why not let the dems decide not to fund him? I personally hope he dies tomorrow and every Russian invader is swallowed up by an Earthquake.

No. I expect you to not make dumb assumptions about things I didn’t say. Do you have a problem with dems vetoing Ukraine aid?

Why do you keep bringing up the democrat senate bill when it had no chance of passing the house. Seems the democrats really do want open borders. Because here we have you praising them for not even discussing the house bill.

I don’t understand what the discussion is here. H.R. 2 had a number of items that were going to be non-starters for the Democrats. So they designed a bill that is D.O.A. with House Republicans. So why discuss any bill that won’t go anywhere as is? Immigration reform has expanded why too far IMHO.
I think that smaller sections might have a better chance of discussion to agreements.

Axxowiz · 2024-02-18T21:38:42.599Z

Neither did the one they tried to just push out it didn’t get out of the senate. The country outside of their base doesn’t trust democrats on border security.
