From Bill

Anderson Cooper is extremely concerned, and so is Donald Trump. There's a new border security bill being formulated in Congress, and the former President is skeptical.

Anderson dismisses Mr. Trump's concerns as "political," saying on CNN that conservative dissenters don't want to solve the massive chaos at the border so they can use the issue against President Biden, who is seeking reelection.

One problem with all of this is that nobody knows what's exactly in the border bill. It's hundreds of pages, but details are not yet public. So, how could anyone be for or against it?

How?

So, let's look at the facts, even though they will probably upset the ideologues and media distortionists. President Biden single-handedly caused death and destruction on the border with Mexico by failing to enforce immigration law. Not debatable; that's what happened. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says the border trek through Mexico is the deadliest migration route in the world.

Biden ordered the Department of Homeland Security to release most of those claiming asylum into the USA unsupervised. That's illegal. You must apply for asylum at a designated "port of entry," and, under Trump, you had to wait in Mexico or your home country for adjudication.

More than ten million foreign nationals are very grateful to Biden for ignoring the law, and so are the Mexican drug cartels, which have reaped billions smuggling narcotics and human beings into the USA.

It is obvious that President Biden does not care about the destruction he has caused. He's been to the border once. He put Kamala in charge. She's been to the border once. When was the last time Mr. Biden addressed the crisis in any meaningful way?

Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas publicly stated the border is "secure." Then admitted about 80 percent of border jumpers are let go. Is Mayorkas an idiot, a liar, or both?

The House is set to impeach him shortly.

Joe Biden's dereliction of duty on immigration is one of the worst presidential actions of all time. It is beyond belief that he has destroyed security at the border, leading to public and fiscal disorder all over the country.

One more vivid example of Biden's dereliction.

During the first three years of the Trump presidency, about 208,000 people died from drug overdoses in America.

The three-year number under Biden is 323,000, according to the National Center on Health Statistics. On Biden's watch, border authorities have seized 2,118,000 pounds of illegal narcotics. The three-year number under Trump:1,656,000.

It is estimated that about 20 percent of all drugs smuggled across the border are interdicted.

Thus, America is awash in opiates with the killer fentanyl destroying a record number of lives. Meanwhile, President Biden doesn't even try to solve the problem or alleviate the suffering.

It's a lock Mr. Biden will get the cartel vote.

So why is Trump against it?

Because the White House does not need new laws to close/regulate the border. Also he doesn’t want to authorize more aid to Ukraine which is in the bill, apparently.

Lets say I agree with with everything Bill said....whats stopping Republicans from compromising on the bill, getting some marginal results that they want and still hammer Biden on the issue if the results arent good enough. Then if Trump gets elected, pursuing a better solution?

Exactly! That would be Leadership. Get what you can now to secure as much as possible to protect Americans, and once in power do more.

Instead they want to "play politics" just to get re-elected.

I think almost all Americans are getting tired of both sides playing
"point the finger" games like children. (other than the extreme die hards on both sides that just want revenge on each other and don't actually care about our country)

the public not knowing anything about doesn't necessarily mean a former president hasn't gotten some info on what is in it.

The Republicans want the cheap labor, the Democrats want the cheap labor and the votes. Neither one is really trying to stop it. It's all theater

We dont need another law. We just need to follow the ones that are on the books.

If you are here illegally you should be deported. You should be finger printed and your dna taken (as is done with all criminals). If you are not in the system as a person of interest in a crime you should be deported immediately.

If you reenter again illegally you should be put in prison for life. It would be expensive at first but most of these criminal invaders would not be willing to spend their life in a jail cell so the numbers would drop drastically.

Everyone should be against it since we don’t know what is in it . This includes people that supposedly represent you and me . Does that not bother you?

why do we need this huge "bipartisan" bill that's hundreds of pages long? why are we passing new laws? why is ANY of this with congress right now? what could POSSIBLY be introduced that is going to suddenly solve anything?

we are a country.

we have a border.

it's already illegal to cross, well, illegally

we have agencies in place to deal with those law breakers.

Because the law will legalize the revolving turnstile at the southern border.

If half of the states are willing to breach the Constitutional Contract with a state by not living up to the obligation of providing common defense,

why is any particular state obligated to remain in the contract?
