VakAttack Posted February 6 Posted February 6 6 minutes ago, Offthemat said: He tried to get it in the first two years through a McConnell/Ryan led Congress that was enamored with the Hiliary/FBI collusion fraud. That he accomplished what he did is testament to his ability. He built some wall and did it constitutionally, and had the crossings down to a small fraction of what they are now. How in your TDS peened mind do you account for that helping or enriching him? Especially when he’s in the construction business and lost billions to serve as President. I'm sorry, I was told multiple times he already had the power to just do these things. Is that only true for Biden? What a wonderful exercise in lowering the bar, though, lol.

Maybe. Bahahahhahahahahahhaha. Because he wouldn’t be trying now if Trump wasn’t going to use it as a platform. 1

VakAttack Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Great. And a bipartisan group is ready to give it to them. If you actually cared about the border, you'd be jazzed. You don't, so you're not.

Because it’s still not good enough (as the frontline border patrol has stated) Biden COULD have had THIS and MORE done 2-3 years ago. GOP needs to get more. Edited February 6 by JimmyBT 1

Change the terms to something like 100 or more aliens encountered daily or 5,000 or more aliens encountered monthly. I have not read the bill. My question based on what you posted (not necessarily directed at you but anyone) is what is happening to the 5,000 or more aliens? Are they just let in? Or is the additional money used to hire people to help process and vet them to see if we should or shouldn't let them in? 1
