    Facts disagree with you, but I’m sure that is a common trend in your life.

    The DOJ has brought charges against several democrats and let several republicans slide.

    trump had tons of fraud prior to running for president so I don’t see how you can believe anything is being “invented”. But whatever.

    Judges have been doing this for the last 200 years but again… ok

    My original comment stands — I hope Democrats start playing the same games Republicans are. The quicker they realize we are at war the better.

    The only SPIN is claiming we have 'open borders.' You obviously have never been to the border because we have walls, patrol agents, gates, etc. You can't name any legislation Democrats have passed or proposed for open borders because you know it's a blatant lie.

    Well I remember that on the SECOND IMPEACHMENT there was no second trial. There's a new drug, called, PAY ATTENTION, it will do you some good.

    There are many studies which confirm that undocumented migrants commit far fewer crimes than US Citizens, as a whole. Whether they are 50%, more or less, varies from one study to the other, but the general claim is still factual. Below are link to some studies.

    Comparing Crime Rates Between Undocumented Immigrants, Legal Immigrants, and Native-born US Citizens in Texas:

    • This study used comprehensive arrest data from the Texas Department of Public Safety to compare criminality between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born U.S. citizens from 2012 to 2018.
    • Findings:
      • Undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses.
      • Relative to undocumented immigrants:
        • U.S.-born citizens were over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes.
        • They were 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes.
        • They were over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes.

    Sure.

    the illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 782 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native‐born Americans. The illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 45 percent below that of native‐born Americans in Texas.

    Personally, I think Trump misread the text on the teleprompter.............it said "whining", not winning.

    So the Orange Stain didn’t enforce the law and protect our national security ? Twice ?

    And Republicans still want us to vote for him ?
    And them ?

    Gee , sounds like a slam dunk reason NOT to vote Republican for any office in this country.

    Thank you for that !

    A four year old study from the liberal Univ. of Wisconsin is one of your links, and another one from always super-liberal NPR is the other one? Probably pretty biased, but to speculate that, going forward, the crime rate would necessarily drop by 50% is way too speculative on your part. We've had so many hundreds of thousands of 'migrants' pouring over the borders just since Biden took over that we haven't gotten enough dependable information to make any concrete determinations yet.

    One thing is for sure, and that is that we as a nation would be a hell of a lot better off without any of them being in here now!

    The Cato Institute does have a good reputation for factual reporting, I'll give you that. But the information in that article is four years old! How much have things changed and probably gotten much worse since Joe Biden became president? It is estimated that 7.2 million migrants of all kinds have come into the U. S. since Biden took over. Not all of them are criminals, but the truth is that we don't know how many actually are since Biden, Mayorkas, and that Democrat bunch came into power. Most of them are just opportunists and asylum scammers who want the American taxpayer to give them a free ride in return for their eventual votes for Democrats.

    Prove it.

    If you think that in 4 years, the criminality of illegals has become as high as you claim, you'll surely find a study on the subject.

    Except.... if you replaced all native-born Americans with illegals, the homicide rate would almost halve.

    So your xenophobia doesn't stand up to the fact that native-born Americans, especially those living in red states, are far more dangerous than illegals.

    Murder rates in red states were 33% higher than in blue states in both 2021 and 2022. In 2021, the average red state murder rate was 9.0 per 100,000 residents while the average blue state murder rate was 6.8 per 100,000.

    https://www.thirdway.org/report/the...be far higher in red,rate was 6.8 per 100,000.

    LOL so republicans impeached Trump, who knew.

    Show us over 200 years of defendants have been gagged without the prosecution getting gagged. No I won't take your word for it.

    What Schumer effectively just did is say lying to congress is not a high crime or misdemeanor. That's fairly shocking since it's a felony, wouldn't you say?
    So which is it, not a crime or a lefty protecting his own and ignoring a felony?

    Of course she does, she is a deep-impeded follower of P01135809, who also needs the ego stroked.

    The numbers all migrants, illegals, and those who falsely claim "asylum" has skyrocketed since Biden, and even worse now under Biden than it did under Obama.

    There was a bipartisan bill introduced last January that dealt with a big chunk of the border issues.

    It was supported by the border patrol.

    Who killed it?
