A lot of work ahead

redneckroy :
Oh please... why so dramatic?

redneckroy : So, let's open the borders then! That will fix a whole lot of things right away.

redneckroy : He really has.

Andi7 :
Don't expect "open borders", but Dems will now control all of Congress. Which puts a major check on 47s power.

Andi7: Let's stop buying the scare tactics the GOP sells for votes. The border has always been open. We can agree that there needs to be work done on stipulations for entries. Like Talerico said, treat it as a front doorstep... welcome mat and locked doors.

rocket1 : Praise Jesus.

eighteen : Scare tactics? No, it really happened during Biden's term. Trafficked thousands of illegals and thousands of kids for which they lost. No, that's not a made up scare tactic.

Biden? Give me a ******* break, Andi7. Trafficking is still an ongoing issue. The GOP has been in full control for 2yrs. Kids are being pulled out of school and detained by ICE. Is this really any better? Just stop with the one-sided nonsense and look at this with transparency.

Andi7, you should listen to Talerico's speech. Texas Strong!

eighteen : But the border is close so, that's a huge win in my book. Rounding that many up takes a long time since there were so many plus not getting much help from local districts who refuse to work with ICE. eighteen : I don't go by speeches, I go by records.

Andi7 the border has never been closed. It's not closed now. That's why the CPB was created and exists, because we have open borders.

eighteen : Well, duh, but you know I'm not referring to that particular scenario at all.

Andi7 I actually don't.

eighteen :
Here are the two major points of entry that were out of control during Biden's term.
Eagle Pass, Texas: Emerged as a massive focal point, particularly in late 2023, where peaks reached up to 4,000 daily crossings in the sector.Del Rio, Texas: Became the site of a major crisis in September 2021 when over 15,000 migrants-primarily Haitian nationals-concentrated under and around the international bridge.Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded more than 8.72 million encounters at the Southwest border between the start of FY 2021 and late 2024.Under Trumps term, Illegal southern border crossings are down roughly 95% compared to peak levels during the prior administration.By that Biden's term number compared to now, the border is "close" in that sense.

Andi7 I'm sorry you're stuck on Biden and the broken system he used. Trump should've gotten Mexico to pay for the wall. Now, let's pull up how CBP agents were receiving money from human traffickers to turn a blind eye, too.ETA: I want to clairfy. There's got to be some form of middle ground. Biden wasn't right, but neither is Trump. This extremist behavior is so 1940s. I hope you can heal.
