If the fbi stopped attending pta meetings and churches and went after the cartels operating at the border, the invasion would be cut 50%.

There was a bipartisan border control bill that would have added more border patrol agents. Trump decided to kill it personally because it passing would hurt his campaign.

This isn't my opinion, it's what was stated by the Republican Senator from Oklahoma who wrote the bill, after Trump killed it.

Well... quite clearly you didn't actually understand the bill. Perhaps we DID understand what the bill actually did... and that was the problem with the bill.

They want more BP agents to process, then release, more people into this country, not to stop them from entering.

I'm about to step away from politics completely. It's enraging how brainwashed these people are. There is video proof from the 2020 debates where Kamala clearly raises her hand in support of decriminalizing illegal immigration. She also has publicly advocated for illegals to get free healthcare, which is a serious incentive for more illegals to come here. Her base of political support forced Joe Biden to apologize for calling Laken Riley's killer an illegal. But yet VOR and BamaAtl think she's tougher on the border than a guy who spent his whole first term trying to build a border wall and who has called for mass deportations. It's as if these two freaks stepped right out of a Kafka novel.

What good is more agents when the administrations policy is to just let them in?

They all know exactly what to do. There’s a playbook. Go to the border, turn yourself in, claim asylum, and get released into the country.

But this is coming from the assumption that Kamala and Dems in general want the border closed and the only thing left that stops it being closed is some more agents, neither of which are reality.

Kamala and Dems literally ran on open border policies

They could have secured the border without “more agents” through this bill. More border patrol agents under this administration would have just been assigned to watch the open border and the flow continue to come in.

This is what’s so annoying to me about Democrats, you have clearly stated policies but then act like you aren’t for said policies. It’s so disingenuous you can’t even debate it.

Biden, Kamala and the Dems proudly want the border open, just own it and say it.

Lol, so trump was playing golf and torpedoed the president and vice president's plans?

They’ve been programmed to believe that since their ideology has no mortality it’s ok for them to lie, cheat or invert reality but since we believe in morality we have to adhere to their most rigid interpretation of our morality. This is how they think and it’s why they have no self awareness and do not acknowledge their constant hypocrisy.

Why did they wait until over 3 years in office with the worst illegal immigration in history to try and pass a bill to supposedly fix illegal immigration?

Why didn't they just reinstate all of the Trump admin policies that had reduced illegal immigration to historical lows?

Why did Biden claim he couldn't do anything about the border without a new bill when Trump clearly showed that not to be the case?

It’s just pure coincidence that Trump was in the middle of building a wall, and Biden came in signed all these executive orders, one of which immediately halted construction of the wall costing the taxpayers more millions b/c supplies had to sit there. And then all these millions of illegals came over. But it’s Trumps fault? The border wasn’t a problem under Trump. It became the problem under Biden.

You really have to be an idiot to not understand this. Or just a head stuck in the sand voting liberal that doesn’t care and agree with the lies.

And now Kamala wasn’t the border czar? These people are just outright liars and evil.

Probably the twisted logic of “Trump opening his mouth killed the “border bill”. The one which didn’t actually secure the border and set a legalized cap on illegals allowed per day in order to shut the border down, which didn’t exist before.”

So Biden found funding for hiring 87000 new IRS agents but couldn’t hire a few more border patrol agents? That’s your argument?

When you lead a cult, and you direct your cult members to do something, they do it.

Generally.

Exactly. They had 4 years to pass a bill unimpeded by strong Rep opposition to Dem demands if they cared so much.

It's like RvW. If they actually cared, Dems had 50 years to make RvW into law the proper way (since the 'right to privacy' to murder babies is no where in the constitution). Dems knew it was coming if originalists ever got a say, but they didn't do anything about it except use it for fearmongering and fundraising. They're perfectly happy to screech about the horrors of returning abortion to the states as a way to try to snatch more power.

Evil manipulative pos's, the lot of them.

Because the GOP for once didn't bend over and take on that ridiculous border bill. So it's Trump’s fault.

I do believe he may have come out against it. But it's not like the swamp rats actually listen.

It’s typical irrational claim. They claim Trump went full dictator to close the border—while claiming Joe and Kamala have no power as the executives.
