Politics Thread

Had to laugh on this one. Is he saying this bill drafted by both democrats and republicans is worse than the current state of affairs on the border?

In all seriousness, if people cross the border, they should be detained and deported back to their country. Crossing illegally should be met with strong and swift action. Not sure why this is so difficult for these politicians to understand. Put the funding and enforcement in place to fix this problem moving forward. I agree that there are to many loopholes and added language within this proposed bill that are not needed and won’t fix the border.

1) The truth of the matter is that they're allowing this to happen on purpose. And I think we all know why.

2) This so-called border bill isn't needed - the president already has the power to shut down illegal entries. Biden has chosen not to enforce any of the laws on the book.

3) Moreover, since Biden won't enforce the current laws, why in the hell would anyone think that he would abide by or enforce a new set of laws?

Pesky facts allude Lou. When are you going to learn that just because Trump says it, doesn't make it true?

So Ingraham doesn't understand the 5k number either. Now it makes sense that you don't.

XVille - paywall

Lou - If someone came here and posted a Rachel Maddow video, do you think there's any chance it would ever persuade you? I'm pretty sure the people you're tring to convince are going to have the same issue with Laura Ingraham that I'm guessing you'd have with Maddow.

From your article. It seems like Trump is taking a HUGE risk on this dynamic with his stance here. Could pay off big for him, or it could completely blow up in his face. But it's clearly political as opposed to actually trying to solve a problem.

BIG NUMBER
52%. That’s the share of voters who trust Trump more than Biden (30%) to handle immigration, according to a Bloomberg-Morning Consult poll released Wednesday. The survey found 59% of voters rate immigration as a “very important” issue in the presidential election.

We are officially less than 9 months from election day, by the way.
