Paul, Lake’s case is ongoing and relevant. Trump is not.Quote:

HAPPY SCHWANZA EVERYONE!!! - Nancy Pelosi
The government just reported that 233,740 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the border last month. That doesn't include the at least 73,000 "gotaways" who escaped into the U.S.
That means there have been over 4.2M encounters and over 1M "gotaways" since Biden took office.
Paul: Crickets….until….”But Trump”!
Paul hides whenever he's challenged with facts.
As I've noted before, the border crisis is a big challenge to every administration.
It's a humanitarian crisis, not a political football. These people are looking for work, and many are fleeing persecution seeking asylum.
More than 2 million have been turned back since March of 2020. And yes, many illegals make it through.
We haven't funded the processing of real asylum seekers, so we end up with large groups of people waiting for process.
Meanwhile, we also gripe about restaurants closing because of no workers, so some of these people will actually help our economy.
Despite all the negative and fear mongering of some parts of the press, the migrants contribute more to our economy than they burden it.
If you're still hung up on Trump, you can read this from Scientific American:

It's still on point and it was written almost 2 years ago.
Much more importantly, Merry Christmas to all of you, and I hope you're warm wherever you are.
No one is hung up on Trump but you. You just can’t make a post without referencing him.Quote:

Now, because he’s messed this up so badly they are gonna finish the Border Wall.
Places like New York claim they are Sanctuary Cities, then bitch to High Heaven when a few bus loads of illegals are sent there. Democrat Hypocrites.
How do you think places like El Paso are dealing with this and why do you think Hispanics in those border areas are voting Republican more and more.
No other country in the world has a sieve for a border like what has occurred under Biden and the worker shortage was caused by freebie pandemic money.
Paul, once again, refusing to acknowledge the real problem and hiding behind his “empathetic” face while once again invoking Trump. Your party has been in total power for two years and the border issue has gotten worse in multiples. Not a damn thing done to stop it. Biden won’t even visit it and Kamala has done nothing as the Border Czar.
Get real.
What is the "real" problem? Venezuela oil negotiations are causing the border crisis?
Millions fled Ukraine to Poland, who welcomed and sheltered them.
Thousands are fleeing repression in Central and South America. Should we shelter them?
Catholic charities in El Paso are helping, despite push back from Abbott in Texas:

Perhaps at Christmas, our spiritual leader has the best outlook on the border situation;
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pope-...ugee_n_5508721Quote:
"We believe that Jesus was a refugee, had to flee to save his life, with Saint Joseph and Mary, had to leave for Egypt," Pope Francis said, according to Zenit. "He was a refugee. Let us pray to Our Lady who knows the pain of refugees."
"Let us be their neighbors, share their fears and uncertainty about the future, and take concrete steps to reduce their suffering."
Merry Christmas and thoughts about the meaning of the season.
This might be overly simplistic, but if someone is fleeting persecution in their home country, which is not Mexico, why should we allow them in to the US? They’ve already left their country and should be free from the persecution, right?
Also, as I’ve said before, neither party really wants to “fix” the border crisis. The Republicans can campaign on how the Democrats don’t want a secure border or care about the drugs coming across the border. The Democrats can campaign on how the Republicans are racists and don’t care about the suffering of the illegal immigrants.

If you can’t see how strengthening, unnecessarily, a Communist Dictator in Venezuela to oppress his people even more, then I can’t help you.Quote:

The people fleeing repression, could go elsewhere, or stand and fight in their own countries, or better yet, would never have allowed the bullshit to occur in their own country to happen to begin with. Sorta like the sane people in this country standing up and fighting against the bull shit that your, the Lefty & Progressive side, is trying to perpetrate in the US. Anyway, why are they coming here??? This administration has encouraged them to do so without shame.
How about following the laws of immigration in this country that have been followed for 246 years?
“Push back from Abbott”. Hmmm. The guy is trying to defend his state from this madness. And Catholic charities are overwhelmed.
By the way. Greg Abbott was overwhelmingly elected just last year again. 40% of Hispanics voted for him. Does that tell you anything? Finally, Arizona Senator Krysten Sinema just left YOUR party, partly over this border madness. She proposed an Ammenment in the Omnibus bill to continue Title 42, and supported the Wall construction completion. Seems like she’s fed up with your sides bull shit too.
Stop hiding behind Christmas in an important political discussion. How are you a Xavier graduate?
