A step in the right direction, now dare I say can we finish the wall?
bass4funk
We wouldn’t be in this situation if Myorkas would have done his job and allowed his agents to detain, send back illegals and finish the wall and increased border patrol agents along the border. They haven’t cracked down even a little on the import of Fentanyl, over 359,000 unaccounted children last week we had: - 2 Agents Assaulted/Prosecution sought
22,220 Apprehensions
806 lbs. Methamphetamine
283 lbs. Marijuana
62 lbs. Cocaine
3 Firearms
5 Maritime Events
2 Sex Offenders
2 Tractor Trailer Events
1 Convicted Murderer
1 Gang MemberThat was last week. Myorkas saying and giving speeches and not a single person believes this guy just doesn’t care

Breaking a law to enter the US should convey a 5 yr ban on entering the US again.
Do it more than once and make that a lifetime ban.
Deportations need to be immediate.
There are still huge carrots for economic migrants coming to the US. The anchor babies need to be stopped. Just because someone is born on US soil, that shouldn't immediately convey US citizenship. Only people already in the US legally as a permanent resident/citizen and not there under some special disaster invitation or illegally should have their baby's gain US citizenship. This carrot will require changing the US Constitution.
Children of illegal immigrants inside the US need to be denied US citizenship. Lots of countries have similar laws. The US needs to change this aspect to prevent abuse of the system.

The drug trade is fuelled by American demand.

That has nothing to do with Myorkas not doing his job and sealing the border.
The urge to kill, steal, fight, loot is also present, but the urge needs to be contained and nullified without police we would have a breakdown of law and order like Chicago, NYC, Baltimore, Minnesota and other cities where police presence is low, the border is not exception. You don’t man it, patrol it or enforce the law, what do you think will happen? Complete anarchy.

That may be true, but that doesn't mean the answer is more draconian drug laws. Their drugs, they're going to be popular.

Here is an interesting factoid I learned recently: the South leads the country in homicides per capita.
wallace
Texas repubs need to clean up their acts.
wallace
Why would you expect Homeland Security to clean up Texan homicides? Not their role.
bass4funk
Myorkas and Blinken do.
By Myorkas doing his job, sealing the border, hire more agents around 22,000 which is what they need, end catch and release, increase the penalties for law breakers with a minimum 5-10 years prison sentence.
Do that and it will help the police drastically to curtail a lot of these growing homicides, because illegals are not running towards white or black neighborhoods predominantly.
wallace
Most homicides in Texas are committed by Americans.
Trump never "sealed the border".
wallace
Hundreds of thousands of illegals in Texas are employed by white businesses.

Ok, we are talking about the border.
Thank Pelosi for that but he tried, now the Dems feel what it’s like when you don’t control the purse, so again, don’t deflect it makes your weak argument look pathetic, so why should Myorkas continue his job when he has been a huge part of the problem and please don’t give me a banter diatribe on murders, we know, but we are talking about border and illegals.
Millions more will displace already impoverished blacks and incense in the next two years AI is taking over and more people need less help in the workforce, especially in service industry jobs, what will these little skilled workers do add to the homeless population that’s spiraling out of control?

The one someone promised 62 times to seal...
Hilarious...Trump, Mitch, and Paul Ryan held all the leadership positions from 2016-2018....they didn't need any Dems - they couldn't get enough of their own Repubs to fund it. Too busy giving a $1.8 trillion tax cut to their fat cat donors...
Plenty of illegals already working at Bedminster, Mar-A-Lago, and Trump Tower...
Hmmmm.....
“When President Biden took office, the unemployment rate was 6.3%. Today, it is just 3.4%. That’s the lowest in 54 years.”

That Nancy wouldn't support, now the Dems are panicking, Trump warned them.
So why didn't the Dems show the Republicans they can lead on this issue, they not only did not lead but they utterly and miserably failed and now the country is paying the price thanks to this admin.
And Biden and Myorkas said that the border is under control. Yeah, the left can believe this admin on that BS if they want.
It just magically jumped up? Lol

Service industry jobs that don't require an HS or college diploma then maybe for now?
lincolnman
So? You had the WH, Senate and House for two years - all Repub - and they either couldn't or didn't want to do it. Got that tax cut for the Top 1% though...
HAHAHAHA - because they didn't have any leadership positions - the Repubs were in control - and they failed...it's all on them...
Lowest unemployment rate in 54 years...
For employment at Bedminster or Mar-A-Lago they don't require US citizenship either...illegal preferred.....ROFL...
bass4funk
So why didn't the Dems do it or continue it? They would have had bragging rights for once.
No, it's all on the Dems they could have made a difference, but Nancy, nope...
So why is it still so high for Blacks?
And the rest of the country and black communities will suffer and do they deserve it? That's on Myorkas and his boss.

Finally getting their act together in the border.
We'll see fewer crimes as a result.
