We don't need a new law. It's completely unnecessary. The laws we have in place already are sufficient.

No idea what percent of encounters DO become crossings, but the narrative out there right now is just manipulation of the low-curiosity sheep.
Let's say this is all true.
Why? Why is the number not 0?
Any number higher than 0 is unacceptable. There should be no threshold number of encounters to enforce current US law and allow zero migrants into the country.
I'll also add another reason that I oppose the bill. Why is aid for Ukraine in a border bill?

And Democrats dont pat their selves on the back?
Sure they do, look at the post I was responding to...he thinks anything that doesnt benefit or isnt 100% supported by the MAGA wing of the Republican party or helps Trump get elected is evil. Im sick of the partisan bullshite as well. Both parties are beholden to an increasingly radical base. On the immigration issue I put far more of the blame on Biden and the Democrats but it when folks like OogaBooga flat out say they dont support any legislation that gives Biden a win or the perception of bipartisanship working to solve a problem ...well I'm sick of that too. Sounds like you probably agree.

And? It shouldn't be in the same bill.

Chicken vs Egg
Republicans demand they won't give money to Ukraine unless something is done about the border.
Democrats demand they won't do anything about the border unless money is given to Ukraine.

Link? Ive read nothing but the opposite since before Thanksgiving.

But the negotiations hinge on Republicans’ efforts to substantially overhaul the US immigration system. Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, say they will not approve more funding for Ukraine without significant concessions on border security.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected Tuesday to visit Capitol Hill to speak to senators and meet with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who has endorsed the GOP demands to block Ukraine aid unless Congress pairs it with tougher immigration and asylum laws.

Enforce current laws…..end of conversation. We don’t need to negotiate money for other purposes when we have existing laws that can stop illegal immigration.
Posted on 2/2/24 at 1:32 pm to Ag Zwin
Why does Ukraine need to get money. They getting more then border protection. Here is my answer to board , no new bills enforce laws on the books. Crooked Dem commies.

My guess: It doesn't go far enough in dealing with those already in the country. If so, that's probably valid.
It literally codifies into law that 5000 illegals a day are allowed into the country and offers no actual border security at all.
frick. That. Noise.

I have yet to find an unbiased summary of what the bill does. Until I see that, there is no way anyone should support it.
I am happy to read links that provide information.

Roll tax increases (or tax cuts) into a veterans' benefits bill. Then when your opposition votes against it, you can tell their district its' because they hate veterans.
That's the Washington D.C. way.
As screwed up as Baton Rouge and Louisiana government can be, that kind of shite isn't allowed in the State Legislature.

Describe them however you wish, but 5,000 individuals per day crossing our border uninvited is not acceptable. With any other country on this planet, 1 uninvited person is not allowed to stay.

Hey azzhole, DEMOCRATS ARE SEXUALIZING CHILDREN and urging them to CUT OFF THEIR FKING GENITALS.
How in the FK do you not define that as "evil"?

Yep.
No one should support a bullshite, trojan-horse, unnecessary election year law that will hurt the country just to give Biden a win.

republicans are not demanding that a Ukraine provision be included in a border bill, nor are they demanding that there be any funding for Ukraine at all, they are saying before they fund any more for Ukraine the Democrats must first enforce the U S own border and a bill is not even required for the Democratic president to enforce the border
not the same as saying the issues must be coupled

If Trump said he was for it, they would all be tripping over themselves to defend it and calling anyone opposed a pedo, baby eating satanic, communist traitor...
Discussing the issues in today's political world is pointless. It's all about grandstanding and parroting what your candidate says, real or not and calling anyone that disagrees the devil...
