Ugh, do we have another year of hearing about that dumbass wall ahead of us?
Every single talking point Republicans are using was used in 2016. They offer no solutions and no new ideas. Essentially they are saying, all those promises we failed to follow through on we are making again.
They do, however, come up with lots of new crimes and abuses of power.
those talking points resonate with their base though - why change a winning strategy?
Remember when Arrested Development had the GWB stand in guy driving the stairs around a fake wall in the desert?
Do these Republicans know that all that land is privately owned? The Federal Government doesn’t have the right to build there. Additionally you don’t need a wall since sensors already do a better job.
Also a significant portion of illegal immigration happens through overstaying a visa, not through border crossings.
Also, Republicans don’t distinguish between undocumented immigrants and refugees, because they intend to violate the nation’s lawful treaty obligations with regards to the latter. Note that the victims of the DeSantis/Abbott felony human-trafficking operation have been refugees.
“Party of ideas” my ass.
So another idiot then.
Including those child-killing river bouys?
That’s already been deemed illegal
Lots of things republicans are doing are illegal, that hasn’t really stopped them.
Luckily he has no chance of winning.
If the Republicans pick Trump, the Democrats will pick Biden. This is the real reason why they want Trump in prison. Otherwise we won’t have an elected president under 75 until 2032.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), a GOP presidential candidate, said Friday he’d finish the border wall started during former President Trump’s administration if elected to the White House.
“As president of the United States, I will finish this wall, and I will use the available technology to surveil our border to stop fentanyl from killing another 70,000 Americans in the next 12 months,” Scott said on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom.”
Scott blamed President Biden for illegal crossings and deaths from fentanyl, knocking the administration for not closing the southern border.
Ron DeSantis ®, another Republican White House hopeful, also stopped at the border earlier this summer.
Trump’s call to build a wall at the country’s southern border was a key aspect of his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump told Newsmax last year, before he’d announced his campaign, that resuming building of the border wall would be a top priority in 2024 if he got back to the Oval Office.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
doesnt most of the fentanyl come from China these days?
He’d have to repair some of the new sections first.
Everyone on the Republican side is saying this, Chris Christie said it too. It’s the easy answer to how they are “fixing” immigration.
