USA TODAY: Biden admits US border isn't secure. But president has done little to solve migration problem. Taxpayers in cities and states hundreds or thousands of miles away from the border now bear the burden of the Biden administration's inept le

Gov. Abbott says operations on the border will expand
Speaking in Eagle Pass with other GOP governors, he cites ‘invasion’
Gov. Greg Abbott gathered with 13 fellow Republican governors on Sunday in a public park.
“A state can defend itself and its citizens to protect their safety from the imminent danger that we are facing — and from an invasion from millions of people coming from across the globe into our country, who are unaccounted for whatsoever,” Abbott said, again casting the record number of asylum-seekers crossing the border as an “invasion.”
The governor declared that “as we speak right now, the Texas National Guard is undertaking operations to expand this.”
“We’re not going to contain ourselves just to this park,” Abbott said, flanked by GOP governors with rifle-toting state soldiers and military vehicles behind them. He did not provide more details on what that would entail. I hope the detail is that Republican governors order soldiers to kill illegal alien invaders. Pretty please, do it.

What's in the Senate's border agreement?
It would also create a new, voluntary program for migrants to fly back to their home countries on commercial airlines paid for by the U.S. government.
Perhaps the most controversial element of the bill is a three-year policy to shut down the processing of asylum applications from people who crossed illegally if the number of expulsions and apprehensions of migrants reaches a week-long average of 4,000. It would create a mandated shutdown after a week-long average of 5,000 or more.
During the time the border is shut down, migrants caught crossing illegally would be immediately deported.

You should broaden your news sources.
Who commits the most murder in large Democrat run shitholes per capita?
They're the ones getting fucked the hardest right now, and though they're not voting Democrat as hard as they used to these days, when they do get interviewed and get camera time on this subject it's not pretty.

The bill won't get passed.
It has nothing at all to do with securing the boarder.
It's about securing billions of dollars for Democrat run shitholes for housing invaders and it's about securing billions more for sending to Ukraine.

Will you listen to this bullshit?
Texas is trying to punish New Yorkers for our border crisis. There's a better way.

In 2019, I traveled with a bipartisan delegation of American mayors to the border flashpoint of Tornillo, Texas, just outside of El Paso.
There, the U.S. government had set up a tent city, which looked strangely like a detention camp. Migrant children, disconnected from their families, were the inhabitants. Temperatures were scorching and our concerns growing, but our access to the facility was denied.
We could only imagine from a distance what those kids were going through. It felt un-American.
On that day five years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the Texas state government actually choosing to make the crisis even worse by busing migrants to Northern cities. We have no proof this has discouraged undocumented individuals from crossing the border. Meanwhile tens of thousands more migrants continue to make the perilous journey.
Since August of 2022, Texas has bused over 33,000 migrants to New York City. The actions of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have hurt my beloved city by radically overtaxing our municipal resources and undermining our ability to serve the almost 9 million people already living here. His actions have directly cost New York City $708 million, according to Mayor Eric Adams, money that is desperately needed to strengthen our schools and community safety efforts. New York residents live in constant fear that critical services like policing, sanitation and libraries will face severe reductions as a result of the migrant crisis, a fear Abbott has exploited.
But this problem is bigger than New York. One state government purposely penalizing the people of other states is un-American. So much for “e pluribus unum.”
This has nothing to do with discouraging illegal aliens from being illegal aliens you disingenuous fuck.
Until the fucking border is sealed and until you Democrat lowlifes stop giving away taxpayer dollars to people who don't belong here, they're going to keep coming no matter where they go.
You're getting these fucking people because for years it was easy for you to say that they're welcome here when you weren't getting them before and it was the border states that were shouldering a MUCH FUCKING HIGHER burden than you are now. They still continue to do so.
You're just pissing and moaning now because the idiot sub-human trash that regularly votes you in every election cycle is getting a real rude awakening. All that free shit they used to get is being taken away from them and given to people who don't even belong here now. That's a great plan. Now you're buying votes from people who can't vote and that leaves you with no money left to buy the votes of the people who always vote for you. Fuckin' Democrats.
Razor wire everywhere. Rubber bullets for the next year with the warning that they turn into real bullets a year from now.
Stay the fuck out of America. We don't want you here.
And any of you that are already here? Pack your fucking bags.

“We have a catastrophe at our southern border,” Mike Johnson said after ascending to the speakership in October. “Inaction is unacceptable, and we must come together and address the broken border.” But then Trump intervened. Suddenly, Johnson forgot everything he had previously said about border legislation.
Crisis! Crisis! Crisis! Oh, never mind.
By Dana Milbank
When House Speaker Mike Johnson invited President Biden to give his State of the Union address on the unusually late date of March 7, people were puzzled.
Now, the mystery can be revealed. House Republicans delayed the State of the Union so they could use the time to foment a state of disunion.
After the Supreme Court last month sided with the Biden administration in a dispute with Texas over border barriers, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Tex.) asserted that the high court’s order “is unconscionable and Texas should ignore it.” Never mind that two conservative justices joined in the order. Roy suggested that an appropriate response would be to “tell the court to go to hell.”
Reacting to the same ruling, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) sounded a call to arms, posting on social media that “the feds are staging a civil war, and Texas should stand their ground.”
And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), nearing the first anniversary of her secessionist call for “a national divorce,” announced: “Now the Biden [administration] is at WAR with Texas.”
House Republicans continued the disunion theme this week, staging a news conference and a hearing to encourage Texas to fight the administration — and the Supreme Court. Rep. Brian Babin (R-Tex.), implying treason by the Biden administration, praised his state because it “stood its ground against an invasion and an administration that clearly wants the opposing forces to win.” And an earthy Rep. Randy Weber (R-Tex.) said of the Supreme Court: “Maybe we ought to tell them to go butt a stump.”
It’s not just words. These dime-store confederates are actively sabotaging the government they serve — by blocking it from mounting an effective response to the historic surge of migrants along the southern border.
Back in October, Biden requested $13.6 billion in emergency funding for border protection, including the hiring of 1,300 additional Border Patrol agents and 1,600 asylum officers, as well as more funds to counter fentanyl smuggling. Because of Republicans’ objections, Congress still hasn’t approved a penny of it.
And now, even as House Republicans wail about a “crisis” and an “invasion” at the border, they are mobilizing to kill a bipartisan deal emerging in the Senate to reform asylum claims and to beef up border security — regarded as the toughest immigration legislation in decades. Biden says he would “shut down the border right now” if given the authorities in the proposal.
Instead of declaring victory and embracing the legislation they have long demanded, House Republicans are moving to impeach the administration’s lead negotiator on the proposal — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — on charges so flimsy they do not identify a crime of any kind.
In lieu of allegations of high crimes or misdemeanors, the impeachment articles, approved early Wednesday by the House Homeland Security Committee, charge that Mayorkas “terminated asylum cooperative agreements” with Central American countries. There’s just one problem with this: Secretary of State Antony Blinken is the one who terminated those.
The articles further charge that Mayorkas “willfully refused to comply with the detention mandate” in the Immigration and Nationality Act. In fact, that standard has never been met in the decades it has existed — because Congress has never provided the funds.
And the articles propose impeachment because Mayorkas “terminated contracts” for President Donald Trump’s border wall. Congress’s own investigative arm blessed the legality of the border wall “pause,” which, in any event, was Biden’s policy, not Mayorkas’s.
Underlying the slipshod articles is this fundamental absurdity: House Republicans plan

On the Border, Republicans Set a Trap, Then Fell Into It
Feb. 6, 2024, Updated 2:05 p.m. ET
Congressional Republicans thought they had set a clever trap for Democrats that would accomplish complementary political and policy goals.
Their idea was to tie approval of military assistance to Ukraine to tough border security demands that Democrats would never accept, allowing Republicans to block the money for Kyiv that many of them oppose while simultaneously enabling them to pound Democrats for refusing to halt a surge of migrants at the border. It was to be a win-win headed into November’s elections.
But Democrats tripped them up by offering substantial — almost unheard-of — concessions on immigration policy without insisting on much in return. Now it is Republicans who are rapidly abandoning a compromise that gave them much of what they wanted, leaving aid to Ukraine in deep jeopardy, border policy in turmoil and Congress again flailing as multiple crises at home and abroad go without attention because of a legislative stalemate.
The turn of events led to a remarkable Capitol Hill spectacle this week as a parade of Senate Republicans almost instantly repudiated a major piece of legislation they had spent months demanding as part of any agreement to provide more help to a beleaguered Ukraine. Even Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader and foremost Republican advocate of helping Ukraine, and Senator James Lankford, the Oklahoma Republican who invested months in cutting the border deal, suggested they would vote to block it on the floor in a test vote set for Wednesday.
It left Senate Republicans, who had mainly avoided the chaos that has consumed House Republicans for the past two years, looking more like their counterparts across the rotunda, rocked by division, finger-pointing and even calls from the far right for new leadership.
Senator James Lankford, Republican of Oklahoma, invested months helping to craft the border deal.
“A year ago they said, ‘We need a change in the law,’” said Mr. Lankford, frustrated by his Republican colleagues who had been up in arms about the border situation only to suddenly reject the new legislation. “Now the conversation is, ‘Just kidding, we don’t need a change in the law. We just need the president to use the laws they already have.’ That wasn’t where we were before.”
“Just gobsmacked,” Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, wrote on social media. “I’ve never seen anything like it. They literally demanded specific policy, got it, and then killed it.”
As they sought to rationalize their anticipated decision to mount a filibuster against legislation they had called for, Republicans said they needed more time to digest the bill and perhaps be allowed to propose some changes. But those seemed mainly like excuses. Additional time is unlikely to be a friend of the bill as the politics surrounding it grow more volatile with the approach of this year’s elections. In past immigration fights, failed procedural votes typically doomed the effort.
Mr. Trump trashed the bipartisan proposal quickly after it was rolled out, and senators who embraced it risked running afoul of him and his supporters. Mr. Trump sees border turmoil — and the motivation it provides to conservative voters — as one of his biggest political advantages. As President Biden noted in remarks Tuesday, the former president has been feverishly stoking opposition to the new legislation.

Keep pretending like you give a shit about the border now, idiot.
I've been railing on that issue for years and you and your idiot pet Ted called me a Nazi for it.
You people suck. You change your minds about everything at the drop of a hat because you have no core values. All you have is chronic hypocrisy.
I don't even understand how either of you can live with yourselves.
