Remember when they voted against a border bill they wanted just so Biden wouldn’t get a win?
They don’t want it fixed. It’s more important to them to use it as a talking point to attack democrats.

Interesting that Bartiromo actually pushed back. The border has been a problem for decades. It is well past time to try something different instead of simply rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. We need to host a summit and bring in the presidents of Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. We can build the tallest walls, place thousands of troops along the border, and use drones and cameras to track those trying to cross illegally and it still won’t be enough. We have to get the other countries involved and incentivize them to stop the caravans.

Border crossings are currently at lows not seen since the Covid era. Biden and Harris have worked to improve the situation with compassion, and they didn’t need a pandemic or family separations or a trillion dollar wall to do it. And they did it despite Trump torpedoing bipartisan legislation to strengthen the boarder all so that he could stoke xenophobic sentiment from his racist base.

Because they already lost the ability to campaign on roe v wade, they can’t lose another campaign staple.

GOP killed immigration reform that had bipartisan support until Trump told them to kill it so he could continue to rail against what we could have had but for Trump’s interference.

Honestly- you simply cannot use falsehoods as justifications for your actions for an unlimited time. The natural progression of history is just to complicated to manage, when operating from a false premise, you must constantly invent new falsehoods to keep up with the natural progression of the truth. At some point it becomes impossible, the lies compound into an unmanageable mess that simply makes no logical sense. It’s why the GOP sound completely insane when they talk, there is no logical narrative that goes from A to B to C, just a spiderweb of various manipulations and falsehoods.

>The congressman added: “But the only border bill we should be talking about right now is H.R 2, which actually passed the House last year. That bill, unlike the fake Senate border security bill that [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer couldn’t even get all Senate Democrats to support,
which strikes to the heart of the matter, they can’t work in a multi party democracy to pass compromise legislation, only the legislation their donors wrote word for word.
How do you counter the firehose of falsehoods from the GOP?

Republicans don’t actually have a plan to fix anything, they want the problems of the country to win them the votes of the uneducated.
They want to rip the scabs off our weakest areas and point at the wound so they can feed off the contributions.

These asswipes have managed to make THE BORDER a constant fucking talking point. It’s exhausting. Most of the country doesn’t live on THE BORDER. I’ve got other very real problems, like childcare.

“Most voters blamed the Biden administration’s “lack of enforcement” for the situation, with 71 percent placing a great deal or some blame on the current administration. However, a clear majority also holds former President Trump’s administration and [Senate](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/senate) [Republicans](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/republicans) responsible, with at least 57 percent assigning a great deal or some.”
Quite a headline.

I don’t get how everyone doesn’t see that if the border is a problem and dangerous as they say then they’re getting people killed by torpedoing the bill. Or it’s not dangerous and it’s all a big show. Either option should dissolve any trust they have in their party.

Just because the Republicans sit on their hands, and do nothing…
That seems a little harsh, don’t you think? Being judged by their lack of action, while they yell about border security.
themightychris on
The Republican talking points on the border are all rooted in such bullshit mischaracterizations and the media never challenges the most basic facts they get wrong and even repeats them
This fking guy “the bill we were faced with was only going to ignore the first 5000, it was going to ignore the numbers”
If by “ignore” you mean detain and process legal asylum claims that are required by law to be examined before we straight turn people away in violation of current law
And then the other big lie they constantly spew unchallenged is that we have “open borders” and that the record numbers of border crossings under Biden are proof of that
Except… the record figure they’re citing is the number of people apprehended trying to cross the border. If Biden did nothing but tighten border security, that number would go up. They could make the claim that some Biden policy is encouraging more people to attempt to enter the US, but more people being arrested trying and failing to cross is the exact opposite of proof that we have “open borders”

Considering that the MAGATs tanked the toughest border bill in decades at the behest of Convicted Felon, there is no question that the GOP is to be blamed.

What’s funny is, something like 75% of all illegal immigrants entered the country legally. The southern border isn’t the pressing issue when it comes to illegals.

Oh but conservatives are being clear; this all democrat’s fault because they purposely gave the GOP everything, knowing they would reject it per Trump’s orders.
Otherwise, the democrats would have never agreed to everything.
This is what we are dealing with in our country; deplorable weirdos.
Both sides are not the same.

Foxnews: Republicans are blaming you for the border crisis.
Gop hack: And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler, and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler, then I’ll set the building on fire…

The border bill was going to pass with overwhelming bipartisan support.
If the media was doing its job the voters would realize it’s Trump that should be blamed the most. He’s the one who doesn’t want it fixed, who prevented it from being passed because he’s a selfish POS who doesn’t give a fuck about this country.

The Trumpist GOP is a populist party, and it’s a staple of populism to create a perceived crisis that you can then convince the common people that they need you to solve.
The crisis doesn’t have to be real, and it usually isn’t. But that explains a lot about GOP attitudes towards immigration – they’ve spent a lot of time exaggerating the real issues with immigration until Trumpists think it’s *the most important* issue. So the last thing they want to do is help curb immigration under a Democratic administration. It *has* to be a Republican who fixes immigration, or their entire populist message falls apart.
