    Me thinks you might have Biden living in your head :rolleyes:

    Its him you want to talk about, not the illegals.

    Me, I hope he won't run again, but the policy in question was put in place to replace Title-42 which expired, so its fair to say such policy has been in effect all along.

    I'm sure Steve Bannon will take it, the one charged with fraud about building a wall.

    Biden’s has blood on his hands thanks to his policies.

    Cartels bank billions off Biden’s border crisis, lead migrants through ‘a big graveyard’ to US


    The cartels have taken advantage of desperate migrants, increasing fees during their perilous journeys through extortion, the nonprofit directors said. If the migrants can't afford the cost, some have been forced to traffic drugs or work off their debts to the cartel in other ways.

    "If you can't pay that price, you get killed or someone gets ransomed," Reulet said.

    Many migrants who have stayed at Reulet's shelters traveled through the Darién Gap, a perilous 66-mile stretch in Panama. One migrant told Reulet he started the portion with a group of 900, but ended with 400.

    “That jungle is essentially just a big graveyard," Reulet said. "A lot can go wrong in there, and it's mostly run by the cartel."

    Some cartel members have killed, raped or assaulted migrants during the journey through the Darién Gap, Reulet said. A migrant showed her a video of her family members being killed with machetes.

    "It was just so horrific, but that's normal for migrants passing through," Reulet said. "There's a lot of kids who have seen their parents either killed or raped in front of them. There's a huge psychological factor in that."

    No, it's the ****ing illegals, and it's Biden who has increased the flood with his policies. Go ask any illegal who would they rather have in the WH. A Democrat or a Republican? If they know anything about our country, they know it's Democrats who are the ones who create the sanctuary cities and states, and the ones who are much more likely to give them government assistance. Once Biden announced to them that they should surge to the border, the flood has become #'s we haven't seen before.

    It's them GOP who keep screaming that the Dems are opening up the borders, when it's not the case.
    But you lot do cause this stampede of immigrants to come because of that fake news.

    It won't get fixed without a physical barrier and determined enforcement of the laws that are in place. This is a migration.

    Ya, well the money has to come from somewhere. Its only 'free' if we print it, then it just ends up being the poor paying for it anyway when their milk and bread go up. If you wanna have a debate over which programs we waste too much money on, I'll start: ALL OF THEM.

    But in the interest of debate... how bout we end ALL funding to Israel and ALL funding to Ukraine, and send the savings of from both to create good jobs for AMERICANS in inner cities instead?

    The wall was a waste of money, that is on record.

    When there is a f-load of money being made in the US, while people at the bottom with 40 hours a week jobs, still need governmental aid to make ends meet, then you know the system isn't what it should be. In a way, rich people gets subsidized to underpay their staff and let the system solve that problem while they do not contribute to that system but go full in to profit from dead low wages. It is not a real mystery that they hardly to not pay taxes. It also doesn't matter if a company preforms well. Them lot rake in the big money anyways.

    The wall was never complete and democrats halted construction. It’s like saying a bridge that was never finished was a waste, because you stopped it from being built. NICE try. A waste is Democrat open border policy letting the entire world on just because they “want to” come. Clueless.

    NYC is sure wishing they had a wall right now. But nope. They are just getting a small taste of what border states have been going through for decades. Tastes great eh?

    Dude, the breaches of the wall are on video recordings. It's not my problem that some people can't own up to the reality of it.

    That's on the DNC version of the record. Biden gave us fenceus interrupus immediately on taking office so it couldn't succeed. Since then he has made every effort to block any effort to stem the flow. This isn't to correct social injustice, it's a migration. The American left whines about the evil American policies toward our native populations but they haven't learned a thing from it.

    Since Biden took office in January 2021, his administration has acted on a number of fronts to reverse Trump-era restrictions on immigration to the United States. The steps include plans to boost refugee admissions, preserving deportation relief for unauthorized immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and not enforcing the “public charge” rule that denies green cards to immigrants who might use public benefits like Medicaid. Biden has also lifted restrictions established early in the coronavirus pandemic that drastically reduced the number of visas issued to immigrants.
    Biden’s biggest immigration proposal to date would allow more new immigrants into the U.S. while giving millions of unauthorized immigrants who are already in the country a pathway to legal status. The expansive legislation would create an eight-year path to citizenship for the nation’s estimated 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants, update the existing family-based immigration system, revise employment-based visa rules and increase the number of diversity visas.

    If a wall was constructed properly, and spanned the entire length of all open areas, it would help force the people attempting to enter illegally, to seek the legal pathways.
    You've seen a couple videos of people scaling it, and to you that somehow equates to everyone being physically able to get over it.

    I heard they were turning Central Park into a migrant camp. New Yorkers ought to love that. The only green place in New York and it will soon be filled with human waste and drugs.

    Personally I am not against building a wall, and I don't think the cost ($60B) is much of a factor either, but in my honest opinion, I do not believe it would make much difference.

    It might have helped some if the Biden clan had put the gates up on the completed sections.

    Still wasn’t done. And you think ANYONE can climb a wall? U serious? And once it was complete with cameras and monitoring dudes would be dealt with quickly. People get in accidents with seatbelts and still get horribly injured or die. Guess seatbelts don’t work? People get weapons on planes. Guess security doesn’t work. Bunch of dudes walked right into the capital. Guess doors don’t work?? Black people still on welfare with over 70% single family homes. Guess welfare and affirmative action don’t work either? Might as well stop it all?

    Only in the most simple naive Leftist mind would a wall NOT prevent people from walking into the country like they do now with NO barriers.

    There is a reason we have them around prisons and homes of congress people and in every situation where security is a necessity.

    You talk as if there were no options but we all know that isn't so. It's cover for Biden and his handlers to do what they wanted which was allow the migration to continue.
