![]() Fact: The border was relatively secure until 1/20/2021. Policies in place under Trump had slowed illegal immigration to a crawl. Fact. Beijing Joe Biden issued NINETY-FOUR executive orders in the first 90 days of his administration, opening the border, reversing the Trump policies that closed it. Biden had told illegal immigrants to surge to the border to be allowed in when he took office. As such, no new laws needed to be passed to give Biden authority or power to close the border. The bill you claim was about border security was full of other crap, included to assure republicans would not vote for it. Biden not only has the authority to close the border, he's required by the Constitution to faithfully execute the laws passed by congress to secure the border.

Although many here have blamed the Biden administration alone for the rise in border encounters in 2021, the roots of the current trends began months and in some cases years before President Biden took office. The government can and should view the arrival of high numbers of asylum seekers as a humanitarian protection management challenge, not a security challenge. https://www.americanimmigrationcounc...unters-in-2021 I have made reference to HR-2 that was sponsored by a Republican and co-sponsored by no less 21 Republicans in the House. Both you and Mark make reference to the Senate bill that was riddled with actions not part of the immigration issue. HR-2 addresses funding for additional Border Patrol personnel and equipment. Please take the opportunity to read what was included. I give credit to the sponsor and committees who took the time to finally address immigration control. This should have become law. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-...s/house-bill/2 Trump has made immigration and the border a central campaign issue (again), successfully pressuring Republicans to reject a major bipartisan border deal (HR-2) earlier this year and making a trip to the southern border on February 29, where he touted his previous hard-line immigration policies. The same thing he said in 2016 and 2020...Talk is cheap! Last edited by Eddies66; 06-26-2024 at 08:31 AM. |

So Trump didn't want the bill to pass, but you did? You are for the following then... Looks like you finally came around to our way of thinking. Thanks This bill addresses issues regarding immigration and border security, including by imposing limits to asylum eligibility. For example, the bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resume activities to construct a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border; provides statutory authorization for Operation Stonegarden, which provides grants to law enforcement agencies for certain border security operations; prohibits DHS from processing the entry of non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) arriving between ports of entry; limits asylum eligibility to non-U.S. nationals who arrive in the United States at a port of entry; authorizes the removal of a non-U.S. national to a country other than that individual's country of nationality or last lawful habitual residence, whereas currently this type of removal may only be to a country that has an agreement with the United States for such removal; expands the types of crimes that may make an individual ineligible for asylum, such as a conviction for driving while intoxicated causing another person's serious bodily injury or death; authorizes DHS to suspend the introduction of certain non-U.S. nationals at an international border if DHS determines that the suspension is necessary to achieve operational control of that border; prohibits states from imposing licensing requirements on immigration detention facilities used to detain minors; authorizes immigration officers to permit an unaccompanied alien child to withdraw their application for admission into the United States even if the child is unable to make an independent decision to withdraw the application; imposes additional penalties for overstaying a visa; and requires DHS to create an electronic employment eligibility confirmation system modeled after the E-Verify system and requires all employers to use the system.

Yeah, just like Hillary and the whole Democratic party said in 2016 when DT won and they proceeded to claim Russia, Russia, Russia for years and spent millions of our hard earned tax dollars on a witch hunt. I'm voting for the man that gave up his wealth and freedom for his country. NOT the man that gave up his country for his own wealth and freedom.
