Which would have done nothing to slow the flow.

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

5000 is more than 1.

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

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.

Yes…you should run with this. People always have sympathy for the hostage taker.

Well. If this bugs the libs, I Know I’m on to something good!
Tanks a lot.

See what I did there?

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.

You expect Putin to invade the US? When?

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?

Putin must be opposed. If we don’t stop him in Ukraine, then where?

You didn’t? Who is “we”?

No, why would I? “Vetoing”?

All over the page here. Try breathing into a paper sack.

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.

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.

The dems want a permanently open border with a clause in there to prevent Trump from being able to reverse it.

They sure do want to destroy this country!

False statement and you know it. It is becoming such a weak talking point but I hope the Republicans stick with it. The voters know the difference.

Stop him when he gets to Mexico.

DougBH:

I prefer a bill that ends the massive migrant invasion, not a bill that encourages it the more.
Nor is a few Republican dupes “bipartisan”. If it were truly bipartisan, it would be law now. A bad law, but law.

Why a bill? Biden would veto it. The only thing needed is for the next president to restore the Trump policies.

Back on topic:

There is zero chance that the democrats will support a budget neutral Ukraine package. Let the republicans offer it and the democrats reject it.

Oldandtired · 2024-02-19T02:31:00.686Z

The voters know that the democrats don’t want to shut down the border. Your problem is the bill the democrats in the senate wrote proves to the voters that the democrats want open borders.

So Schumer and McConnell work together as never before. And the Democrats ask Republicans and Independents to weigh in on the contents of the bill. And now it is being reported that Trump wants the border to be a campaign issue and for Republicans not to do anything to support a bill.

Oldandtired · 2024-02-20T03:46:12.600Z

Your problem is trump has no say. So you can stop trying to blame trump for the democrat’s mess.
Every GOP senator and house member has to answer to the voters who elected them. If their voters hate the democrat open border bill then they better listen to them. Or they can join liz.
Maybe Schumer needs to really pass a bill to shut down the border instead of passing a bill to legalize allowing millions to cross the border.
The democrats own what is happening on the border. Seems from what they have tried to pass they are fine with bidens open borders.

It’s weird. Current immigration laws would put allowable illegal entry at 0 if it was enforced.

Why is 5,000 more law breakers a day more desirable than 0?

Because the left wants open borders and more illegals.
