    Tell it to Biden. Federal prisoners have to work.

    That's a wild imagination you got there SX. My imagination is shot. Old age, I guess. (I blame everything on my age. Lol) I can't even muster the amount of fantasy you've expressed here after smoking a bongful of moonrocks. How do you do it?

    I'm not questioning there's an investigation. It's the numbers I was wondering about. Trump didn't put them anywhere. They were waiting on the other side of the border. They were scheduled to come in. The only difference is Biden is letting them in while being processed. The difference is one of technicality.
    Says who?

    I agree, not sue why we can't just turn them back. This is the exact area where we need to work closely with Mexico to help prevent those people crossing even Mexico. It would make our job at the border more tenable.

    I've always wondered that myself... Always the first post....

    Good catch...

    This is the sign of a great administrator.... delegation.....

    Oh, also for (soon to be former) Gov Abbott... there is no crisis at the border, but keep shakin' that tree... it's what his people want to hear...

    Says the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I guess someone can refuse to work if they want and stay in their cell all day. The prisoners working do get paid, but not much.

    Prisoners can work. They don't have to. I see you agree. :)

    I'll edit my previous comment to say that while which side of the border refugees await processing is a technicality, Biden has raised the numbers we will accept. At the moment I have no problem with that, but I'll reserve judgement until we get some data.

    https://www.prisonpolicy.org/prison...rcent,in Haiti in dollars per hour 512: $0.30

    Percent of able-bodied sentenced federal prisoners required to work in the prison: 100%

    https://www.prisonerresource.com/work-assignment/inmate-work-assignments-federal-prison/

    Inmate employment is a requirement within the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Except for those inmates who have been designated medically unable to work by Health Services or Psychology Services, all federal prisoners must maintain some form of employment throughout their incarceration.

    “They” are the drug dealers and gang members. Not the best, not you or you. He said absolutely nothing wrong. It’s a fact that illegals are NOT the best. They wouldn’t be illegal. Illegals do bring crime and rape and drugs. And some, meaning the ones NOT bringing the crime and drugs are good people....maybe. And Mexico allows them to sneak through their country to get to ours. The Mexican govt sends these people because they don’t stop them.

    Not hard to understand at all unless you cherry pick words without listening to the CONTEXT!!! But what do you care about context?

    Maybe if he said poor kids are just as good as white kids, it wouldn’t be racist:)

    What have Biden and the person he put in charge Harris done and be specific. All I see is open arms and then secretly sending illegals throughout the country.

    So, just to be clear, you are admitting you were wrong about him mentioning MS13?

    Republicans love keeping their base scared and fired up. Very odd.

    No human can remain scared and fired up until the next election.

    People will drop out after a while, as we've seen...

    The only party in world history committed to reducing their ranks....

    Considering they idolize Cuomo... Take what they say with a grain of salt regarding Abbot.

    Indeed! The differences in the policies and results of red state governors vs blue state governors are the surest way to grow the GOP and shrink the democratics.
