The border problem must be fixed, and continued Republican obstruction to border legislation is preventing it from happening. The Republicans are entirely responsible for the mess at the southern border, due to their MAGA obstruction of any laws to fix the issue.

Dems put the country first, Trump puts himself first.

Strangeland,there nothing can be done to stop illegal immigrants
Strangerland
Americans think there is, and they see Republican blocking that from happening.

Biden is President, he could issue any executive order to stop this, he used it to dismantle every Trump border policy, so just go back and reinstate Trump border policies. Simple, if he doesn’t do it, he just continues to help Trump.

Nah, if that were true, Trump would have done it.
bass4funk
61% don’t think so
79% of Americans think America is going in the wrong direction.
61% of Americans say illegal immigration is a "very serious problem" leading into the 2024 election cycle.
Strangerland
Yes, and they see the Republicans blocking any legislation to address the border disaster the Republicans have created.

Trump's plan for the border when he visits...
Take boxes of his new gold sneakers to throw at the illegals (like he did with the paper towels in Puerto Rico) to allow them to run faster to avoid border guards to make it to Bedminster and Mar-A-Lago where their jobs as maids and groundskeepers await...

Congressional Republicans had been largely pleased with the resulting deal. The conservative Border Patrol union endorsed it, and Biden and Republican negotiators repeatedly signaled their joint optimism that a deal would be reached. But it all unraveled after Trump signaled his opposition.
Trump said in a recent campaign rally he’d take the blame from senators for the bill’s collapse..
Good luck selling that.
bass4funk
So he’s not President????
So why Is Biden trailing behind Trump so badly?
53% of Americans want a wall. The biggest jump ever. Yeah, let Dems run on this issue, he had 3 years and he did nothing and now 8 months into an election he goes down to the border. Lol

Every GOP member not in a blood-red state will be taking blame for that.
Same with Dobbs.
Strangerland
Trump wasn't President????
He's not, he's winning by a landslide, like he did last time.
Yes, and they see Republicans blocking any legislation moving in that direction.
bass4funk
The establishment Swamp Senate, yes.
Their boss is Myorkas, of course they will publicly endorse it.
Yes, Conservative House Republicans thankfully killed it.
And yet his poll numbers still rise.
Strangerland
Trump, under 91 counts, head of a fraudulent empire, is the king of the swamp.
That's right, thereby proving that the only party serious about fixing the border problem is the Democrats.
Hillary believed the polls too.
funkymofo
Stop pretending you care about border security, Trump supporters.
lincolnman
Trump's speech at the border....
"Ladies and gentlemen, just look at the big, beautiful wall that goes from California to Texas - I was the one that built it and forced Mexico to pay for the entire thing - promises made, promises kept"...
"And I'm glad my Dem opponent Joe Obama is here...but where is my fellow Repub challenger, Nikki Pelosi?"
2020hindsights
That’s not a policy, that’s an obligation to the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, that the US is a signatory to.
HopeSpringsEternal
Illegal immigration & border security #1 issue in polling, recent NBC poll has BIDEN down 35pts to TRUMP on this issue. It's every poll, Biden DEEP under water.
People tired of increase in violent crime due to illegal immigrants, their kids community centers and schools being used to house them etc. People worry about terrorists entering, believe FBI Director Wray's concern.
Voters want to return to Trump's policies which worked and which Biden reversed on day 1 in Jan 2021. No amount of spin will change the reality America's experienced for 3 years, Open Borders.
HopeSpringsEternal
Important to note legal action building against Biden Admin for not enforcing laws on the books, for simply releasing immigrants that are undocumented.
Texas Gov. and Lt. Gov. pursuing "Treason" charges against Pres. Biden, for failing to perform his Constitutional duty and secure the borders.
Democrats BADLY miscalculated public illegal immigrant sentiment, US citizens correctly concerned for their safety.
Strangerland
Yep, and the people see Republicans blocking any border security that could fix the issue.
That's right, and they are very angry that Republicans are blocking legislation to fix it. The Republicans have proven that there is only one party serious about fixing the border problem: The Democrats.
No they don't. Trump got trounced last time, before the insurrection, before Dobbs, before banning IVF, and before blocking any border legislation.
The only way Biden can lose is if the election is rigged.
Strangerland
Fake news. If those laws existed, Trump would have used them.
Is this like that time the Repubs used known fake news from the Kremlin to try to prevent Biden from being re-elected in the biggest election interference case in American history?
bass4funk
2024? he’s in the hole by 71% disapproval
Then you need to read the polls all of them carefully. Now if you can factually prove that Biden is beating Trump and not just the typical European left talking points, I will digress.
That same number doesn’t want any humanitarian aid going towards Ukraine, safeguard the homeland first.
Strangerland
Nah, Biden is far in the lead.
Hillary read the polls carefully... How'd that work out for her?
Nah, Americans by and far want humanitarian aid going to Ukraine, the polls prove that.
HopeSpringsEternal
Nope, not fake news, Texas taking many legal actions against Biden Admin over their Constitutional failures to protect the border.

Yeah, this sounds more like Russian interference than fake news, to be fair.
Do you think he is using fake-news supplied by the Kremlin, like last time they tried to say Joe was treasonous? If not, how do you know? You guys thought Smirnov was telling the truth too... and even when you found out he wasn't, you pretended like he was...
HopeSpringsEternal
Trump's running on his illegal immigrant "DEPORTATION" Plan. Impossible for d's to spin this issue, like High Prices, people see it and feel in a bad way Every Day!
Voters also remember secure borders in Trump Admin.
Strangerland
No, Trump is running on obstructing border legislation plan, proving the only party serious about fixing the problem at the border is the Democrats.
They remember even more secure boders in the Obama/Biden admin.
HopeSpringsEternal
All the spin in world will not convince voters that Biden's serious about border security and stopping illegal immigrants. +3Years, Voters believe THEIR lying eyes!
ALL the Polls indicate Biden's Losing this #1 issue, very badly, recent NBC, Trump +35pt OVER Biden
funkymofo
Not spin- an actual bill, with bipartisan support, support from those working at the border, that promised actual results - killed by Trump.
bass4funk
When secretly polled 71% of agents that were asked had a deep disdain and resentment towards Myorkas and zero confidence in the man. Again, the bill should be killed. Seal the border first and then let’s revisit the Ukraine matter.
Strangerland
And even with that, because the Republicans blocked border security, Biden is way ahead in the polls.
bass4funk
Which polls?
Kurumazaka 2
you’re doing it again, Hope.
you prefer the adversary you already know.
appears that endorsement hasn’t yet found its way into the database.
Strangerland
The ones that say Biden is in the lead.
Mark
It's election time when politicians PLAY the Immigration CARD again.
bass4funk
Ok, so once again, you don’t know. Moving along….
Strangerland
Hey, if that makes you feel better about Biden winning in every poll that matters, that's on you when you can't understand how Biden destroyed Trump (again) come November.
I won't shed any tears.
Strangerland
The Democrats are responding to the issue that the American people have at the top of their list; border legislation. Good leadership listens to their people. Bad leadership obstructs legislation in favor of dragging out the issue for political gains.
HopeSpringsEternal
You know nothing of the reality of DC, Congressional negotiations or about polling it seems obvious.
Real issue, Executive actions by Biden Admin on day 1, undoing strong border policies in place. The flood of dangerous illegal immigrants resulted.
Legislation and $SPENDING is not the solution, rather it's Executive actions to reinstate prior border policies. E.g. Remain in Mexico Policy, stop catch and release, etc.
Voters GET IT, why Trump's Crushing Border Issue!
Strangerland
The truth hurts brother.
Nah, fake news. If that were possible, Trump would have done it.
Then why didn't Trump do it?
Strangerland
Then why is Biden crushing Trump?
zibala
Biden is letting people pour in daily.
From China, Syria, Afghanistan, Russia.
Dude--where's my border?
Strangerland
That's correct, he tried to stop it, but then the Republicans blocked the legislation, proving Democrats are the only party serious about fixing the border issue.
It's being held hostage by MAGA.
Kurumazaka 2
just one small problem with that.
its not Biden who is failing to protect the border.
MAGA Trump won’t allow him to protect the border.
Because Trump says NO.
plasticmonkey
Ooh, a "secret poll". Source please.
zibala
Kamala Harris 2022:
We have a secure border.
Strangerland
Republicans in 2024: We refuse border legislation
Kurumazaka 2
no he’s not. Trump is, for his own political benefit.
plasticmonkey
That's what MAGA World says. Here's what MAGA World really thinks:
“Let me tell you, I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating . . . I will not help the Democrats try to improve this man’s dismal approval ratings. I’m not going to do it. Why would I?"
--Rep. Troy Nehls (R. Texas)
Saying the quiet part out loud. The Big Guy down in Mar A Lago said the same.
Let's not kid ourselves that the GOP are being serious about solving problems.
zibala
When are you alleging this happened?
Strangerland
Yeah, they don't tell you about it in MAGA world do they. It looks really bad. If you want to find out what is actually happening, you may need to get off Fox News. They had to pay $1billion last year because they lie to you guys.
But yeah, it happened.
Kurumazaka 2
the word is happening, as in right now.
JJE
This will be interesting:
Biden who spent the first two weeks in office dismantling the previous guy's border enforcement measures.
And the previous guy, with a proven track record of cracking down on border security.
The contrast couldn't be clearer.
kurisupisu
There are massive holes in the southern border-walk right in!
Kurumazaka 2
The legislation is on a shelf in the House right now.
But your Speaker, is obeying orders from a criminally indicted private citizen, just like the Founders intended.
Strangerland
That's right, and when Biden and the democrats put together legislation to solve the problem, the Republicans blocked it. Shame on the Republicans for forcing the Democrats to keep these holes in the border open!
zibala
So when did this supposedly happen?
