The Wall

[cajunrevenge]

You need help.

That’s not what this thread is at all.

And you need to kiss my ass. You dumb ****s said a wall will stop illegal immigration and drugs. You got the wall and now are complaining that is isnt working. You just want to blame Biden instead of wondering why we spent billions on a wall that doeant work

[goldfly]

All could have been avoided if the wall was funded early when it should have been.

your dumb **** god said mexico was gonna pay for it

[goldfly]

But for some reason those people still wanna come here to our evil capitalism

we should have you go to the border and tell them how horrible it really is cause of the tyrannical communists that have you so oppressed

[Tapate50]

Lol people don’t like it when their guy puts them in cages. After they crowed about how bad that was last year.

Irony!

.@AOC on the border:

"Anyone who's using the word 'surge' around you, consciously, is trying to invoke a militaristic frame.

And that's a problem.

Because this is not a surge, these are children.

And they are not insurgents.

And we are not being invaded."

I feel so bad now for drinking all that militaristic citrus soda as a kid. I'm so ashamed.

He really felt the need to bold that like it was something worth reading

Might be time to get back on the drugs ?

the wall is more metaphor than a real policy

if we wanted to curtail illegal immigration we would require e-verify of every employer...that would work a lot better than any wall

but for some reason neither party has pushed it...i guess politics or something got in the way

Well only one party could do it without having the other party and their propaganda outlets call it racist.

That might be part of it. But there is also a strong small business constituency that would squeal like stuck pigs if they were required to comply with our laws regarding hiring workers that are here illegally. Conservatives like to ask if we are a country of laws. It depends is the always safe answer. Don't enforce that law, enforce that one behind the tree! The main reason undocumented workers come here is to make some money to send back home.

Are you sure you're not an attorney because one thing they teach you in law school is that's the answer to any question you're ever asked.

I'm an economist. And I was also trained to answer it depends to every question.

So Biden is restarting work on building a wall

[cajunrevenge]

Look at that wall working so well.

[goldfly]

Why do we need a wall?

They are criminals anyway, right?

I’ve been told countless times by conservatives and maga criminals won’t care about these things if they want to do something

[goldfly]

Hold up, what happen to Mexico?

Maga is a sick joke lol

[thethe]

Guys think we might need a wall?

Who was ight on this yet again?

[goldfly]

I mean, did Mexico not pay for one like your stupid as **** cult said would happen?

Oh they were paying but the democrats didn’t want a true deterrent to illegal immigration so we couldn’t get it done. It’s ok. The wall is going up starting 2024 along with millions of illegals deported.

Get those tears ready loser.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — He crossed the Mexican border into Texas only two weeks ago, joyous at the prospect of building anew in the United States. Now part of the first wave of deportees rapidly ejected by the Biden administration amid a fresh surge at the border, Johnson Bordes, 23, stepped off a Boeing 737 on Sunday and into the Haitian capital, terrified by a city torn apart by violence in a homeland he could barely remember.

“If Biden continues with these deportations, he’s no better than Trump,” Bordes said. “I’m afraid for my safety here. I don’t even know this country anymore.”

…

Recognition of the conditions led the Biden administration as recently as May to grant temporary protected status to tens of thousands of undocumented Haitians in the United States. At the time, officials cited “serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty, and lack of basic resources” in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation.

Since then, conditions in Haiti have deteriorated sharply — leading critics to describe the deportations now as contradictory.

…

Some here describe the large-scale deportations back to Haiti as something they might have expected under President Donald Trump, who was dismissive of Haitian immigrants. That it’s happening under President Biden, they said, made it sting even more.

“It’s shocking,” said Ralph P. Chevry, a board member of the Haiti Center for Socio Economic Policy in Port-au-Prince. “I understand that the U.S. needs to protect its borders, but the way Haiti is right now, this is the last place to send anyone. The Central Bank has no money left. The gangs are taking over the country. The kidnappings are surging again.

“I wouldn’t say it’s criminal, but what the United States is doing is at the very least inhumane.”

…

In comments to CNN on Sunday, however, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the deportations, saying the damage from the recent earthquake had been “rather geographically limited” and that an analysis of the situation on the ground had determined that “country conditions” allowed for the repatriations.

…

She said she and her family decided to travel from Chile to Texas because they’d heard that “President Biden was letting people in.” She said Sunday she felt disillusioned, as if she and her family had been “kidnapped to be sent back to Haiti.”

“They did not even tell us what they were doing,” she said, in tears. “They said our names, and they said they are bringing us somewhere else. We did not know we were going back to Haiti. Nobody told us we were going back to Haiti. We need to go back to Chile, but now we have no money left and no home. What will become of my children?”

“How could Biden do this to us?” she asked.

The letter next to the current POTUS is (D), so, nothing to see here…

I’d say this is another case of there being no substantial difference between the two major parties, but the D’s are worse. At least under Trump, potential immigrants/refugees knew where they stood - they weren’t welcome. Biden and the D’s campaigned on being more humane and welcoming to win election, then immediately flip flopped upon gaining power. Apparently these folks who thought they would be welcome didn’t get the memo that Biden is full of **** and was just trying to win an election.

I guess the “kids in cages!” Twitter pearl clutchers from last year are too busy looking for stories of dead unvaccinated RW podcast hosts to care.

This is what competency looks like.

Lecturer sure has shut the hell up lately.
