Republicans wrote a border bill which democrats supported. More money, more border guards, can close the border (Biden said he would) but your god DJT phoned Johnson and told him not to support it beccause it would be "a win for Biden". So justify that.
2 different bills. The one that the House sent to the Senate closed the border. The bill that came back codified illegal immigration and sped up processing. You should actually read the bills rather than left wing loonies.

You can try and sing people to sleep all you want. People know the truth, no matter how hard the left tries to obscure it. People either feel safe to walk the streets or they don't.

If crime rates in cities are plummeting (which they are), but some people don't believe it because politicians try and scare them by saying the cities are actually very dangerous, then the problem is with those politicians and the people who blindly believe them, right?

People either believe they can go and buy groceries that they need, or they don't. They believe they can afford gas, or they don't. People are either better off now than they were four years ago, or they aren't. Time will tell whether believe their lyin' eyes, or they'll be sung back to sleep. Let's wait and see.
I think you've touched on one of the main sources behind our differences.

You're pointing to feelings, whereas I point to facts. To you, if you feel like crime is high, then that the facts show the opposite just gets waved away.

But I would suggest you ask yourself why you think crime is so high in cities. Is it because you have actual data or info? Or is it because the politicians you listen to and the news sources you look at keep feeding you scary stories to in order to manipulate your feelings?

Pray on it, please.

I'm not angry. I may be the most laid back person on this site for except maybe @Eli1. I just recognized early on that you are a troll.
So....some I'm working on:
@mockingjay
@ t- roll...because that's how you roll
Catchy no?
It seems you've just decided to use "you're a troll" as a lazy means to avoid inconvenient facts and the ensuing uncomfortable conversations.

If you were truly confident and secure in your positions, you wouldn't resort to such obvious evasion tactics.

No, actually people who live in reality point to the data that shows immigrants (including illegal immigrants) commit crimes at far lower rates than American citizens.

https://news.northwestern.edu/stori...ess-likely-to-commit-crimes-than-the-us-born/

Well why don't you husstle yourself over to Laken Riley, Kate Steinle,
Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, (just a few that are known because of the news) and tell their families those facts. Or the young girl that was raped while her BF was tied up, go tell them your facts. smh There are many people that would be alive today if illegals were not in the country, that is a FACT!! And those statistics you shared have nothing to do with today. They have no idea how many people have gotten away, no idea they crimes they may have committed. There is no way to have those facts in evidence, anyone who says that do is flat out lying.

You're citing individual anecdotes and trying to use them to justify conclusions about the overall state of things.

That's like pointing to individual cases of child abuse in Christian churches and using them to justify concluding that Christians are child abusers and churches should be banned.

And those statistics you shared have nothing to do with today.
Um, yes they do.

They have no idea how many people have gotten away, no idea they crimes they may have committed. There is no way to have those facts in evidence, anyone who says that do is flat out lying.
So anything that disagrees with how you feel is automatically a lie, no matter what? Do you see the problem with that?

Don't allow your severe case of TDS to down play the illegal immigration crisis we have in the US.
Oh, our immigration situation has been a problem since I was a little kid.

That's why I support the immigration reform bill crafted by Senator Lankford (R-OK) that Trump ordered to be killed, because he needed it to still be an issue for his campaign.

Fortunately, after House Republicans did as Trump asked, President Biden issued his EO that closed the border.

It's been worse under Biden/Harris than I have ever seen in my lifetime.

While Illegal Aliens Kill and Rape, Bogus Crime Comparisons Still Blunt Solutions. Border hawks should disengage from the crime-rate debate – every one of these crimes is preventable.

I gotta say, that article is pretty bad.

It tries to argue that you can't compare crime rates among illegals to rates of citizens because illegals get deported whereas citizens don't. That makes zero sense. If illegal immigrants were committing crimes at high rates and millions of illegals were coming across the border every month, then that would absolutely, definitely show up in the data, whether the criminals were subsequently deported or not.

The fact that no data set shows such a thing is a very, very solid indication that it isn't happening.

And then of course the article points to individual cases. While I agree they're terrible, they're no more a reflection on migrants as a whole than individual cases of child abuse in churches reflect on Christians as a whole.

Thanks for the link though.

Migrants flooding NYC’s justice system — making up ‘75% of arrests in Midtown’ — as ‘pathetic’ sanctuary city laws handcuff cops

The more grave problem is the potential for sleeper cells populated by America's enemies.

But then again, false flags are a necessary ingredient for Marxist revolution. Or fascist revolution for that matter.

NYC swirling down the toilet. Its bad. Much worse than anyone wants to admit.
Blame must be laid at the feet of Democrats and the Kamalatov admin.

The good news is that many New Yorkers are sick and tired of it and will vote accordingly.

=================================================================
Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledge.

Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.

On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.

The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally.

Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders.

This makes it almost impossible for authorities to get their arms around the problem, experts and sources on the ground say.

“New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,” Jim Quinn, a veteran former prosecutor at the Queens District Attorney’s Office, told The Post.

“The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy.”

Making matters worse, police sources say, word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines — meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back onto the street quickly after they’re nabbed.

A City Hall spokesman pointed to Mayor Eric Adams’ previous calls for the City Council to change the sanctuary city laws.

Last week, Adams said, “Right now, we don’t have the authorization to be able to go and coordinate with ICE. We have to follow the law.”

I'm curious where yall stand on amnesty in a border bill. I think generally Democrats support amnesty and it's a bit mixed in the Republican party.

For me, I'm 100% against amnesty. It spits in the face of the people who are waiting in line, legally, to immigrate to the US. It's rewarding bad behavior and even encouraging it. Amnesty is a non-negotiable for me... but I'm open to hearing arguments for it if yall have any.

Regardless of what you think of the article we have a major problem in America when it comes to illegal immigration.

I agree, which is why as I said earlier, we should have passed the immigration reform bill that was developed by Sen. Lankford (R-OK). It severely rolls back the asylum system, puts much stricter requirements for immigrants to gain asylum, mandates closure of the border when crossings get too high, and provides resources to speed up the court and deportation systems.

But Trump couldn't let it pass because then he couldn't use immigration in his campaign. IOW, he put his campaign over the good of the country.
