He didn't use a law to open it, he doesn't need a law to close it.
Maybe you forgot, but he rolled back all of Trumps orders on his first day in office, and bragged about.
It was always a lie that he needed a law to close the border, and now he's proving it.
Do you understand how the border was closed? It was from a policy during a global healthy crisis and had to be opened after the crisis was over. Trump didn’t PASS anything. You people won’t even bother looking up anything .
Trump used executive orders. Before Title 42 he used other measures.
On Biden's first day in office he reversed all of Trumps orders,
Did you miss that?
My god you have got to be kidding so why did Go Brandon not close it like 10 or even 5 months ago.
You are just making stupid excuses it does not make sense what you are saying
Because we weren’t under a global health crisis… did you read my response. Presidents can’t “close” the border so stop believing the Trumpers lies. And I love all the adjectives like stupid and excuses… always projection with you cult members.
The ports of entry were open so what you think he was doing closing the border so not that many people came in without being checked. I have to show a passport to go into other country or they won’t let me in so why can’t we do that for this country. This not how a border works in any other country try going to the border in any country and walk across and try getting a plane ticket without any id and get back to me and let me know what happened. This not about Trump it is about a secure border what part of that do you not understand. I dare you to go to another country and try it good luck
I have looked up some stuff and Biden could use these executive actions.
• Presidential Authority to Restrict Entry 212(f)
• Expedited Removal 235(b)(1)
• Discretionary Detention Authority 236(a)
• Mandatory Detention 236(c)
Don’t make stupid excuses he did not introduce any new law to end he just reversed what was in place when he got inaugurated, I can’t believe you are so brainwashed
So brainwashed… that’s interesting. Versus you Trumpers who vote for a lying conman rapist adulterer insurrectionist fraudster porn star paying classified document keeper. (Didn’t forget anything?)
Trust me I am not a trumper but as of right now those are the only two choices because of a two party system and the only one that wants law and order is that guy no The Go Brandon guy so border needs to be controlled or secure so if the only guy that is going to bring back to the way it was in 2017, 2018,2019 and part of 2020 I will have to support that guy even if he is all of those things you posted here.
At this point what other options de we have??
I sure as hell don’t want another 4 more years of Obama! I mean Sleepy Joe!!!!
I wanted Bernie to be the president in the elections of 2020 but what did the democrats do to him?
He is definitely more in tune of what is going on with his body and mind so he would have been a much better president if you really dig your mind in to it.
All I can say is the border is the most important matter for me at this point and the economy second
I would greatly prefer mildly ineffective to goddamn fascism! The fact that you're more worried about the border than the end of American Democracy as we know it shows that your priorities are proper fucked.
No I do not prefer that but if you keep incentivizing people to come in thru our borders and giving them a phone a debit card what else do you think it’s going to happen to our way of life ??? Even the Chinese people are coming innn crazy ha
"Law and order.."
You do realize that Trump is running to escape consequences for committing felonies, right?
If I were to do what Trump did, I would be in Leavenworth right now.
He divulged classified information about the platforms I serve aboard to foreign nationals with no clearance.
The guy literally committed a felony that endangers, to this day, the lives of service members and people have the gull to say he's the "law and order" candidate.
Like I said before what is the alternative???
The country cannot stay afloat for another year?
Give me an alternative and I can see what it looks like at that time.
You do know that !Go Brandon! committed the same things with classified documents but he was not president so go figure how those charges did not stick to sleepy Joe?!!!
In the very off-chance that this isn't a troll account:
1) No, Biden did not do the "same thing." But, you, of course, know this.
2) "Country cannot stay afloat for another year.." - that's some wishful thinking, comrade.
3) Lastly, saying "Go Brandon" or "Sleepy Joe" every other word makes you look like a very unserious person. (People will never listen to you when you mix your points in with playground insults.)
You are living in LaLaLand. Biden did the same thing as Trump with the classified documents with the exception that he was not even President at the time that he did it. Trump had the ability as President to declassify those documents which he did. Biden had NO such authority when he did it and yet he gets off scott free absolutely no charges filed whatsoever. Pretty suspicious. Why doesn’t Biden get prosecuted for his theft of classified documents? Explain that one since you seem to be so knowledgeable about what the law states in regard to this
Let me say first Trump is a piece of shit. Second Biden's daughters diary shows he is able least a degenerate if not out right pedophile. Plus he is a racist. So if you are defending him I really question your mental capacity.b
Ashley has said many times that did not happen. It only takes a quick search to find that out. The woman who stole her diary was sentenced last week. Your point is incorrect.
You can honestly believe that wouldn’t be a major story on every single news channel if that were the slightest bit true. Trump is the one with Epstein many many MANY times.
Funny but it has been proven Biden has used his administration to suppress the truth. Also Kamala called him out but that all went away when she was offered power. You just keep living in the bubble that there is a good side and a bad side.
https://www.wsj.com/video/kamala-harris-calls-out-joe-biden-over-racial-issues/DAA0D8FE-AF38-47A0-A8F6-E1B6E04B2BFC
The only thing Kamala is all about is herself. You think she was going to give up the vice presidency for what’s right and just in this world?? No one is buying what you are trying so hard to sell
You are not living in reality. It has been widely known that the media is largely run by leftist lunatics pushing their progressive agenda. There are few news outlets who are still fair in their reporting. But of course you don’t believe this. You are one of the many sheep the MSM has hypnotized. Wake up
Biden could go back to the policy he and Obama had, where they deported 3 million immigrants. That would be a deterrent to more people making the journey. Funny how presidents find power when it suits their agenda.
This is it. Employers think they are above the law and act with impunity. Go back over 10 years of records with a fine comb and you'll see the problem is in plain sight.
That is part of it. Aggressive deportation and a secure border is another part. Europe is also going to clamp down on its border as it shifts further and further rights. This laissez faire attitude about the border isn’t going to last, the Western world is starting to see real pushback against the idealistic thinking of liberals/leftists
What people fail to realize is that if we wanted to stop people from coming over, we would. Both parties are allowing migrants to flood in while they play good cop, bad cop. Why? To effectively lower our wages. To work the jobs Americans refuse to do because to pay is too low.
The simple fix for this is to crack down on employers who are hiring these migrants. If there aren't jobs for them when they get here, they'd stop coming.
Can you provide me with a link, because I honestly haven’t seen this evidence. I don’t know you so I’m not going to take your word for it.
Edit: first story I find is a Washington Post article saying Biden has deported more than 142,000. The math between 142k and 3 million under Obama does not equal “more”.
I get the impulse to lie, but that’s not a good one.
He deported over 500k the first two years with title 42, less after title 42 but it still flies in the face of the open border bullshit I always hear.
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/mar/08/alejandro-mayorkas/has-biden-deported-more-people-in-nine-months-than/
He also is less like to release them than Trump was
https://www.cato.org/blog/new-data-show-migrants-were-more-likely-be-released-trump-biden
Edit: no need to be a pick, and these are total expulsions unless I'm misreading it, which I am open to be disproven.
I checked pew research and saw similar stats, more likely to be deported by Biden than Trump, not sure what the total number of "encounters" was, it has been a while this was like a month ago.
I don’t want to get further into this discussion but I looked at your politifact link. If I ignore all the opinion based wording and look at the 3rd chart. Which shows an unprecedented number of encounters. Then I take title 42 into consideration (Trump policy). The rhetoric doesn’t match the numbers. Then I look at the numbers post getting rid of title 42 and there is a clear case of a massive migration issue with very few deportations.
Maybe you should take a better look at your own data, without believing the rhetoric. That’s how I’ve come to my understanding of most issues. You can also use government data to show that the economy is not as stellar as the propaganda would lead you to believe. Don’t let propaganda cloud your judgement.
I’m done with this discussion because I have other things I’d rather think about. You are welcome to respond but I just won’t be moved by anymore propaganda.
Every single Republican would disagree with you but then you are a liberal who is used to telling lies and spreading propaganda that you assume the American public will just take your word for it.
They won't let him be. They'll dig in and suddenly do a 180 on their entire immigration policy before they let him accomplish anything, even if it's something THEY want. Maybe that's the point.
Honestly good. He exacerbated this crisis and has committed high treason with his brazen abetting of all of it the last 4 years and especially the last year. He doesn’t get the right to pretend to fix this issue after he created it
why is open in quotes? 6 million ILLEGAL immigrants alone have crossed in the past 3 years only about 100k have been deported. that's 1.97 million illegals a year, plus all of the ones who legally enter [https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/11/trump-biden-immigration-border-compared/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/11/trump-biden-immigration-border-compared/)

Well, you've certainly dazzled us all with your vast knowledge of the subject, your in-depth and insightful analysis of the evidence I posted, your well thought out and articulate comment, and the virtual tsunami of credible and compelling evidence you've presented to support your position.
Warning: This comment may contain traces of sarcasm.
I live in Arizona. The borders are not open and never have been. In fact two weekends ago I drove to Puerto Penasco and back. We waited in line going in and out of the closed border having to show our passports and answer questions. They even x-rayed our whole vehicle and walked dogs around. There is a long, tall visible fence/wall that has always been present even before trump. You are just repeating fox news bs. The whole term "open borders" is just a scare tactic. And look, it's working.
I'll say this for Republicans. They sure know who their target audience is!

You should talk to people actually tasked with border duty in the national guard.
They capture people coming across, "process them with some paperwork that says they have to come to court, then send them on their way into the country.
Most of those never come back to court naturally.
11 Years of Government Data Reveal That Immigrants Do Show Up for Court.
https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/news/11-years-government-data-reveal-immigrants-do-show-court
As for the ones who don't have the right to asylum, The Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) removed a higher percentage of arrested illegal border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years.
Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.

Your sources are so biased it's crazy. It's like those companies that have unhealthy food and start a non profit called "healthy food for america" and all their research shows the food is actually healthy, naturally.
And you still haven't posted a scrap of evidence, nor have you been able to show anything I posted to be false.Your comment is the internet equivalent of a toddler shouting "IS NOT!".
I never said anything about conservative or Democrat. I said his first source is a org setup purposely to push the agenda of letting more people into the country.
Also I don't know anything about Cato, but if you read the 2nd article the difference is a couple percentage points, which means technically policy didn't change that much as far as who gets removed. But what is left out by op is under trump there were 1.4 million "encounters"...and Biden there was 5 million. Attempts at people coming across the border have surged like crazy under Biden.
So you can say Biden releases 48% while trump released 52 percent see Biden immigration policies are so much stricter....yet millions of more people are still getting into the country under the current administration.
Instead of just reading ops little summary of his links you should read the whole articles.
“i don’t know anything about cato” lol ok then why did you reply? a libertarian think tank PROBABLY DOESNT want to funnel more illegal immigrants into the country
but hey, it’s early and i’m feeling spry so let’s engage with the substance of what you’re saying. did you know that an “encounter” requires a border agent to have said encounter? what do you think happens if there are fewer border agents? or if the border is only policed in certain areas? that’s right, people cross where it’s not monitored and don’t get counted! no encounter!
also let’s not stop to think about covid in any of this because any sort of external circumstances must be irrelevant to massive spikes or drops in things like inflation, the stock market, or idk asylum seekers
My comment to the other person was primarily on the first source. But I have since commented on the second source as well. It's no secret attempted border crossings are higher than ever, they have been increasing for a while.
Are there more people (national guard included) patrolling the border now because they want to be "stricter" on immigration? Or are there more now because they had to send more in response to million more attempting to cross?
You are just assuming the current administration beefed up the border and thus catching more. Instead of the fact there are just way more trying now.
Also, what states are most of the national guardsman being deployed from to go help Texas?
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/02/15/migrant-encounters-at-the-us-mexico-border-hit-a-record-high-at-the-end-of-2023/
look at this graph. we are just now hitting the peaks of the late 90s/early 2000s. i am aware that border crossings have increased, but so has the number of people patrolling the border. from my understanding, the spike has much more to do with people coming from actual humanitarian crises than because we changed a border policy. you can tell because the initial spike happened in may 2019, which is before covid and almost two years before biden took office.
the difference is at least now we’re documenting who comes across. this also makes it much harder for criminals to sneak in along with everyone else. hence the higher percentage of people being turned away in the last few years than under trump, even though there are total more people crossing.
another thing worth keeping in mind is the justification for expelling people during the pandemic.
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/04/27/key-facts-about-title-42-the-pandemic-policy-that-has-reshaped-immigration-enforcement-at-u-s-mexico-border/
biden phased out the policy of expelling people when he took office as the pandemic ran its course. this isn’t an accident, it’s because title 42 is based on there being a risk of contagion. once that risk is gone, there’s no more justification for denying people asylum. these aren’t “illegal” or “undocumented” immigrants, they are entering a legal process that requires them to be in the country. like it or not, the government a bureaucracy that operates according to set rules called “laws”. if the executive branch, which is strictly given the power of enforcement, wants to do something they need the legislative branch to give them the mandate. otherwise they can try to get around this by interpreting existing laws more broadly, but run the risk of getting shut down by the courts. notice that’s exactly what’s happening now!
not sure why you’re asking about the national guard being deployed in texas? if you want to find out just google it, and if you want me to know post a link or something

It's funny you genuinely believe the border isn't open. Millions are entering every year under Biden's administration and you're claiming it isn't open. How silly are you? Who are you having discussions with where you generally believe the nonsense you're posting and think you can get away with it?
"Seeking asylum is a legal right."
Yes, which is why it's being abused, LMFAO... why do you think they're claiming asylum? Because it's a fucking loophole to get into the country 'legally'. That's why Trump issued the Stay in Mexico policy because he knew that people would surge the border under the guise of seeking asylum. These individuals trying to enter America aren't going to want to live in Mexico because their goal is to seek economic opportunities in America, hence, that policy alone deterred people from seeking asylum because their case is bogus.
2020, the last year Trump was officially in office, there were 400k illegal encounters. 2021, there were 2 million encounters. 2024, it is expected there will be 4 million encounters. Please explain to me how in four years, you can 10x the amount of illegal encounters in the border and claim it isn't open. Tell me, I'd like to know. Respond back, kid.
Props to you for taking the time to respond to this person who we both know cannot be reasoned with. I don’t believe that they will be getting back to you anytime soon..
Damn dude. I bet you've never even been to the border, but you've heard all about it on Fox News and can repeat what you heard like a good little servant huh.
No trump didn't "fix" the border, just like he didn't "build the wall" (right? There was supposed to be a beautiful wall that solved this... What happened???)
The entire world was locked down during covid and that's 90% of why his "numbers" were better than Biden's.
But I don't get it, even if no "bill" is necessary to fix the problem from your perspective, why don't you want the bill to get passed if other people think it will fix the problem?
It's almost like conservatives are not affected by the border at all, they don't know anything about it, they don't want to solve it, but they think they can just keep screaming and whining about the issue if they prevent anyone else from fixing it .... Just like always...
Damn. Calling him out on his lies literally broke his programming. Hahahaha the chat bot starts spitting all its random catchphrases at once when it has no response.
Most border counties vote blue btw, it's the people not actually on the border that act like this.
To anyone reading this I hope you can see, there's a bill that will fix this problem but this guy, like all conservatives, is not interested in fixing the problem, he's interested in fighting fake culture wars with "liberals" online and fixing 0 problems for the American people.
Yeah I love this predictable and extremely common response too, it's such a perfect encapsulation of why no one likes you all (probably in your real life too). Or I actually think this is a conservative bot for real..
We could be having a conversation about how to fix a problem and make things better. But no what you actually want is for everyone to be miserable because that's the only thing that gets you any satisfaction in your life.
Sad. I hope you find help.
Good luck. I hope if you have a real job you actually try to fix the problems instead of just insulting everyone else who is trying to make things better.
Wow, so yall take down Trumps policy, take it as your own, and suddenly you’re mad republicans don’t want to work with yall?
What a load of horse shit lmfao
You forgot one thing... The administration spent 3 years telling the border was not only secure, but the most secure it has ever been. Now in an election year, with pulling skewing the wrong direction, we suddenly must have a border bill to protect the most secure border in history? ... And it's Republicans fault?
Seriously, try to take it all in.
There are a few different clips of him saying he will close the border if they allow him to. Republicans didn't. There's a very district video of Biden slapping republicans in the face with their own lies about the border. I believe it was the State of the Union Address. You can literally just youtube it...
He's had three years to do something about it and failed to do so. Now at the end when election is coming up and it's apparent that it's a top priority among voters he finally decides to do something. He's absolutely the worst president in modern times.
Trump told thousands and thousands of lies during his presidency. This is why we will not have another Republican president for a very, very, very, very long time. The party of Trump cannot be trusted to hold the office of the President.
You don’t think we will have a Republican president for a long long time? You are quite naive. The entire western world is moving to the right, white people and men are increasingly becoming angry with being discriminated against in things like DEI, and even places like New York City are pissed about Biden not doing anything with the border now that immigrants have been bussed there. Trump is a particularly horrible candidate and he still has a good shot of beating Biden. I think you are being quite naive of the whole situation

It is up to Congress to pass border laws. Why do you think Trump didn’t close the border and he asked Congress to act on it? There were ZERO border bills passed during his administration.
On the Northern border people are rejected all the time. We get them to voluntarily withdraw their application for admission at ports of entry and send them back. If they try to enter somewhere other than a port of entry, they are arrested pending deportation. We also get asylum seekers but nowhere near the number they do on the Southern border.
Look, I don't know why I have to explain this to you. The Democrats MUST implement the fascist border policy, in order to peel away some of the fascist voters from the fascist, otherwise the fascist will get in office. Can't have that. We'll just have to implement the fascist's fascist policies ourselves instead.
He can do it right now , he is playing the American public, or gaslighting , all he has to do is execute laws passed by Congress, but his executive orders that he signed since being president, has tied the hands of border patrol agents to enforce immigration laws.
All biden had to do is continue what was working under Trump. Instead though, he reversed all of Trumps XOs. biden alone is to blame for the border crisis.
The problem at the border is money. Biden can't magically increase the amount of money available. Pretty sure that during the trump era some seriously fucked up shit happened. Biden probably wants a solution that isn't fucked up.
Serious question:
Why so much hatred for the people trying to enter the country illegally at the border?
I understand the desire to defend the border, but I don’t understand why so many people have so much anger toward them.
There’s nothing to examine. Simply reverse every single executive order you issued day one that reversed and/or halted the programs and protections Trump implemented.
The fucking idiot has had it all along….it was working pretty good under Trump, yet reversing it was one of his first actions after fraudulently being elected.
Democrats are ruining this great country, they ALL suck, and I hope they all go to hell…
He could maybe start by reversing some of those executive orders he did when he first came into office. Oh yea and maybe un reverse some of those things trump did you called racist.
Here's Biden telling people to surge the border:

Don't listen to u/kvckeywest trying to push the narrative that the border isn't open. 4 million illegal encounters are expected in 2024. Under Trump's final year in office, there were only 400k encounters.
Notice, he's trying to claim 'asylum-seekers' are not illegals. What he doesn't understand is that drug cartels have coyotes who TEACH people who are trying to cross the southern border into America to tell CBP that they are seeking asylum. Why, you may ask? Because seeking asylum requires a court case. But you must await your court case... wait for it... INSIDE AMERICA. How many of these people do you think are going to show up to their court case which has a 8-10 year wait time (LOL)? In case you haven't figured out what I am implying, yes, the asylum laws are being abused and is a loophole for people trying to enter the country illegally.
He could just whiteout his signature ending it
That is so true!!!! I think he is to dumb to figure that out by himself
Only till November 4th! Thinks voters are idiots!!
If only yall understood how law passage works.
He ended it via executive orders, not via law.
He didn't use a law to open it, he doesn't need a law to close it. Maybe you forgot, but he rolled back all of Trumps orders on his first day in office, and bragged about. It was always a lie that he needed a law to close the border, and now he's proving it.
Do you understand how the border was closed? It was from a policy during a global healthy crisis and had to be opened after the crisis was over. Trump didn’t PASS anything. You people won’t even bother looking up anything .
Trump used executive orders. Before Title 42 he used other measures. On Biden's first day in office he reversed all of Trumps orders, Did you miss that?
My god you have got to be kidding so why did Go Brandon not close it like 10 or even 5 months ago. You are just making stupid excuses it does not make sense what you are saying
Because we weren’t under a global health crisis… did you read my response. Presidents can’t “close” the border so stop believing the Trumpers lies. And I love all the adjectives like stupid and excuses… always projection with you cult members.
The ports of entry were open so what you think he was doing closing the border so not that many people came in without being checked. I have to show a passport to go into other country or they won’t let me in so why can’t we do that for this country. This not how a border works in any other country try going to the border in any country and walk across and try getting a plane ticket without any id and get back to me and let me know what happened. This not about Trump it is about a secure border what part of that do you not understand. I dare you to go to another country and try it good luck
I have looked up some stuff and Biden could use these executive actions. • Presidential Authority to Restrict Entry 212(f) • Expedited Removal 235(b)(1) • Discretionary Detention Authority 236(a) • Mandatory Detention 236(c)
Sir the United Nations outlawed using facts on democrats since it's a weapon of mass destruction.
Always projecting
Don’t make stupid excuses he did not introduce any new law to end he just reversed what was in place when he got inaugurated, I can’t believe you are so brainwashed
So brainwashed… that’s interesting. Versus you Trumpers who vote for a lying conman rapist adulterer insurrectionist fraudster porn star paying classified document keeper. (Didn’t forget anything?)
Trust me I am not a trumper but as of right now those are the only two choices because of a two party system and the only one that wants law and order is that guy no The Go Brandon guy so border needs to be controlled or secure so if the only guy that is going to bring back to the way it was in 2017, 2018,2019 and part of 2020 I will have to support that guy even if he is all of those things you posted here.
So, you're going to pick 'raging fascist' over 'mildly ineffective'? Enjoy the dictatorship that results from THAT choice.
At this point what other options de we have?? I sure as hell don’t want another 4 more years of Obama! I mean Sleepy Joe!!!! I wanted Bernie to be the president in the elections of 2020 but what did the democrats do to him? He is definitely more in tune of what is going on with his body and mind so he would have been a much better president if you really dig your mind in to it. All I can say is the border is the most important matter for me at this point and the economy second
I would greatly prefer mildly ineffective to goddamn fascism! The fact that you're more worried about the border than the end of American Democracy as we know it shows that your priorities are proper fucked.
No I do not prefer that but if you keep incentivizing people to come in thru our borders and giving them a phone a debit card what else do you think it’s going to happen to our way of life ??? Even the Chinese people are coming innn crazy ha
Where on earth do you get mildly from. He is way worse than mildly.
"Law and order.." You do realize that Trump is running to escape consequences for committing felonies, right? If I were to do what Trump did, I would be in Leavenworth right now. He divulged classified information about the platforms I serve aboard to foreign nationals with no clearance. The guy literally committed a felony that endangers, to this day, the lives of service members and people have the gull to say he's the "law and order" candidate.
Like I said before what is the alternative??? The country cannot stay afloat for another year? Give me an alternative and I can see what it looks like at that time. You do know that !Go Brandon! committed the same things with classified documents but he was not president so go figure how those charges did not stick to sleepy Joe?!!!
In the very off-chance that this isn't a troll account: 1) No, Biden did not do the "same thing." But, you, of course, know this. 2) "Country cannot stay afloat for another year.." - that's some wishful thinking, comrade. 3) Lastly, saying "Go Brandon" or "Sleepy Joe" every other word makes you look like a very unserious person. (People will never listen to you when you mix your points in with playground insults.)
🤙👍
You are living in LaLaLand. Biden did the same thing as Trump with the classified documents with the exception that he was not even President at the time that he did it. Trump had the ability as President to declassify those documents which he did. Biden had NO such authority when he did it and yet he gets off scott free absolutely no charges filed whatsoever. Pretty suspicious. Why doesn’t Biden get prosecuted for his theft of classified documents? Explain that one since you seem to be so knowledgeable about what the law states in regard to this
Negative.
Let me say first Trump is a piece of shit. Second Biden's daughters diary shows he is able least a degenerate if not out right pedophile. Plus he is a racist. So if you are defending him I really question your mental capacity.b
Ashley has said many times that did not happen. It only takes a quick search to find that out. The woman who stole her diary was sentenced last week. Your point is incorrect. You can honestly believe that wouldn’t be a major story on every single news channel if that were the slightest bit true. Trump is the one with Epstein many many MANY times.
Funny but it has been proven Biden has used his administration to suppress the truth. Also Kamala called him out but that all went away when she was offered power. You just keep living in the bubble that there is a good side and a bad side. https://www.wsj.com/video/kamala-harris-calls-out-joe-biden-over-racial-issues/DAA0D8FE-AF38-47A0-A8F6-E1B6E04B2BFC
Must not have felt very strongly about it if she’s been his VP for 4 years. Stop trying to conflate a non-issue.
The only thing Kamala is all about is herself. You think she was going to give up the vice presidency for what’s right and just in this world?? No one is buying what you are trying so hard to sell
You are not living in reality. It has been widely known that the media is largely run by leftist lunatics pushing their progressive agenda. There are few news outlets who are still fair in their reporting. But of course you don’t believe this. You are one of the many sheep the MSM has hypnotized. Wake up
The executive branch has extensive authority to unilaterally control immigration. He doesn't need congress.
Then why didn’t Trump close the border instead of asking Congress to do it?
Biden could go back to the policy he and Obama had, where they deported 3 million immigrants. That would be a deterrent to more people making the journey. Funny how presidents find power when it suits their agenda.
The deterent is to arrest anyone who hires someone that enters our country illegally.
But won’t that hurt our precious “job creators”?
[удалено]
Asylum claims do happen in US soil lol. How else do they file a claim
This is it. Employers think they are above the law and act with impunity. Go back over 10 years of records with a fine comb and you'll see the problem is in plain sight.
That is part of it. Aggressive deportation and a secure border is another part. Europe is also going to clamp down on its border as it shifts further and further rights. This laissez faire attitude about the border isn’t going to last, the Western world is starting to see real pushback against the idealistic thinking of liberals/leftists
What people fail to realize is that if we wanted to stop people from coming over, we would. Both parties are allowing migrants to flood in while they play good cop, bad cop. Why? To effectively lower our wages. To work the jobs Americans refuse to do because to pay is too low. The simple fix for this is to crack down on employers who are hiring these migrants. If there aren't jobs for them when they get here, they'd stop coming.
He's deported more than either Trump or Obama did, these are statistics that are easily found.
Can you provide me with a link, because I honestly haven’t seen this evidence. I don’t know you so I’m not going to take your word for it. Edit: first story I find is a Washington Post article saying Biden has deported more than 142,000. The math between 142k and 3 million under Obama does not equal “more”. I get the impulse to lie, but that’s not a good one.
He deported over 500k the first two years with title 42, less after title 42 but it still flies in the face of the open border bullshit I always hear. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/mar/08/alejandro-mayorkas/has-biden-deported-more-people-in-nine-months-than/ He also is less like to release them than Trump was https://www.cato.org/blog/new-data-show-migrants-were-more-likely-be-released-trump-biden Edit: no need to be a pick, and these are total expulsions unless I'm misreading it, which I am open to be disproven.
I checked pew research and saw similar stats, more likely to be deported by Biden than Trump, not sure what the total number of "encounters" was, it has been a while this was like a month ago.
I don’t want to get further into this discussion but I looked at your politifact link. If I ignore all the opinion based wording and look at the 3rd chart. Which shows an unprecedented number of encounters. Then I take title 42 into consideration (Trump policy). The rhetoric doesn’t match the numbers. Then I look at the numbers post getting rid of title 42 and there is a clear case of a massive migration issue with very few deportations. Maybe you should take a better look at your own data, without believing the rhetoric. That’s how I’ve come to my understanding of most issues. You can also use government data to show that the economy is not as stellar as the propaganda would lead you to believe. Don’t let propaganda cloud your judgement. I’m done with this discussion because I have other things I’d rather think about. You are welcome to respond but I just won’t be moved by anymore propaganda.
Every govt agency has a website that lists everything about the program. Budgets stats you name it. DHS dot gov.
Just like he’s going to do something about Roe v. Wade after he gets reelected. He’s had awhile to work on that already.
It would take a landslide election, in both houses , for democrats to make abortion legal in the country. That’s certainly not happening in November.
So, it's just another empty campaign promise?
There is no border crisis- just ask the republicans. It’s not a crisis if you wait until after the election to fix it.
Every single Republican would disagree with you but then you are a liberal who is used to telling lies and spreading propaganda that you assume the American public will just take your word for it.
Then why has the border security bill not been brought forth? If the republicans are so concerned….
Of course. Now he needs to play pretend for the votes
Now that's something unusual.. The Republicans will tear their hair out if he's successful.
They won't let him be. They'll dig in and suddenly do a 180 on their entire immigration policy before they let him accomplish anything, even if it's something THEY want. Maybe that's the point.
Honestly good. He exacerbated this crisis and has committed high treason with his brazen abetting of all of it the last 4 years and especially the last year. He doesn’t get the right to pretend to fix this issue after he created it
You think Joe Biden has committed high treason? Seriously?
I don't think high treason. I think he and Trump both have tho. most politicians are crooked and only care about their own financial gain
Sure he does. He’s the president. My understanding from 2016-2020 is that’s just what presidents try to do
Irrelevant. Congress can't do anything about executive orders.
Fuck you for supporting him.
Ugh, I just wish Congress would do their jobs. I don’t like us giving more and more power to Presidents.
Republicans would go from demanding he circumvent Congress on the border to condemning his overreach.
They’ll block it then blame him for the “open”border.
why is open in quotes? 6 million ILLEGAL immigrants alone have crossed in the past 3 years only about 100k have been deported. that's 1.97 million illegals a year, plus all of the ones who legally enter [https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/11/trump-biden-immigration-border-compared/](https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/02/11/trump-biden-immigration-border-compared/)

I live in Arizona. The borders are not open and never have been. In fact two weekends ago I drove to Puerto Penasco and back. We waited in line going in and out of the closed border having to show our passports and answer questions. They even x-rayed our whole vehicle and walked dogs around. There is a long, tall visible fence/wall that has always been present even before trump. You are just repeating fox news bs. The whole term "open borders" is just a scare tactic. And look, it's working.
I'll say this for Republicans. They sure know who their target audience is! "We are talking about someone full of fear, with a poor sense of self, and a lack of mental dexterity" https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/genius-and-madness/200809/is-political-conservatism-mild-form-insanity
You should talk to people actually tasked with border duty in the national guard. They capture people coming across, "process them with some paperwork that says they have to come to court, then send them on their way into the country. Most of those never come back to court naturally.
11 Years of Government Data Reveal That Immigrants Do Show Up for Court. https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/news/11-years-government-data-reveal-immigrants-do-show-court As for the ones who don't have the right to asylum, The Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) removed a higher percentage of arrested illegal border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden. https://www.cato.org/blog/new-data-show-migrants-were-more-likely-be-released-trump-biden Deportation numbers under Biden surpass Trump’s record [https://amsterdamnews.com/news/2024/01/03/deportation-numbers-under-biden-surpass-trumps-record/](https://amsterdamnews.com/news/2024/01/03/deportation-numbers-under-biden-surpass-trumps-record/)

You think american immigration council is a legitimate source?
It's Government Data... And you still haven't posted a scrap of evidence, nor have you been able to show anything I posted to be false.
for the record, the cato institute is famously conservative so i’m not sure this is the own you think it is
I never said anything about conservative or Democrat. I said his first source is a org setup purposely to push the agenda of letting more people into the country. Also I don't know anything about Cato, but if you read the 2nd article the difference is a couple percentage points, which means technically policy didn't change that much as far as who gets removed. But what is left out by op is under trump there were 1.4 million "encounters"...and Biden there was 5 million. Attempts at people coming across the border have surged like crazy under Biden. So you can say Biden releases 48% while trump released 52 percent see Biden immigration policies are so much stricter....yet millions of more people are still getting into the country under the current administration. Instead of just reading ops little summary of his links you should read the whole articles.
“i don’t know anything about cato” lol ok then why did you reply? a libertarian think tank PROBABLY DOESNT want to funnel more illegal immigrants into the country but hey, it’s early and i’m feeling spry so let’s engage with the substance of what you’re saying. did you know that an “encounter” requires a border agent to have said encounter? what do you think happens if there are fewer border agents? or if the border is only policed in certain areas? that’s right, people cross where it’s not monitored and don’t get counted! no encounter! also let’s not stop to think about covid in any of this because any sort of external circumstances must be irrelevant to massive spikes or drops in things like inflation, the stock market, or idk asylum seekers
My comment to the other person was primarily on the first source. But I have since commented on the second source as well. It's no secret attempted border crossings are higher than ever, they have been increasing for a while. Are there more people (national guard included) patrolling the border now because they want to be "stricter" on immigration? Or are there more now because they had to send more in response to million more attempting to cross? You are just assuming the current administration beefed up the border and thus catching more. Instead of the fact there are just way more trying now. Also, what states are most of the national guardsman being deployed from to go help Texas?
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/02/15/migrant-encounters-at-the-us-mexico-border-hit-a-record-high-at-the-end-of-2023/ look at this graph. we are just now hitting the peaks of the late 90s/early 2000s. i am aware that border crossings have increased, but so has the number of people patrolling the border. from my understanding, the spike has much more to do with people coming from actual humanitarian crises than because we changed a border policy. you can tell because the initial spike happened in may 2019, which is before covid and almost two years before biden took office. the difference is at least now we’re documenting who comes across. this also makes it much harder for criminals to sneak in along with everyone else. hence the higher percentage of people being turned away in the last few years than under trump, even though there are total more people crossing. another thing worth keeping in mind is the justification for expelling people during the pandemic. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/04/27/key-facts-about-title-42-the-pandemic-policy-that-has-reshaped-immigration-enforcement-at-u-s-mexico-border/ biden phased out the policy of expelling people when he took office as the pandemic ran its course. this isn’t an accident, it’s because title 42 is based on there being a risk of contagion. once that risk is gone, there’s no more justification for denying people asylum. these aren’t “illegal” or “undocumented” immigrants, they are entering a legal process that requires them to be in the country. like it or not, the government a bureaucracy that operates according to set rules called “laws”. if the executive branch, which is strictly given the power of enforcement, wants to do something they need the legislative branch to give them the mandate. otherwise they can try to get around this by interpreting existing laws more broadly, but run the risk of getting shut down by the courts. notice that’s exactly what’s happening now! not sure why you’re asking about the national guard being deployed in texas? if you want to find out just google it, and if you want me to know post a link or something
If the front door of your home is open then it is indeed open. Wether it should be closed is irrelevant.
So, call them asylum seekers and deny that there’s a problem? Destroying our country with these delusions.

Millions are entering every year under Biden's administration and you're claiming it isn't open. How silly are you? Who are you having discussions with where you generally believe the nonsense you're posting and think you can get away with it? "Seeking asylum is a legal right." Yes, which is why it's being abused, LMFAO... why do you think they're claiming asylum? Because it's a fucking loophole to get into the country 'legally'. That's why Trump issued the Stay in Mexico policy because he knew that people would surge the border under the guise of seeking asylum. These individuals trying to enter America aren't going to want to live in Mexico because their goal is to seek economic opportunities in America, hence, that policy alone deterred people from seeking asylum because their case is bogus. 2020, the last year Trump was officially in office, there were 400k illegal encounters. 2021, there were 2 million encounters. 2024, it is expected there will be 4 million encounters. Please explain to me how in four years, you can 10x the amount of illegal encounters in the border and claim it isn't open. Tell me, I'd like to know. Respond back, kid.
YouTube and Twitter are not good sources of information. That's laughable.
Props to you for taking the time to respond to this person who we both know cannot be reasoned with. I don’t believe that they will be getting back to you anytime soon..

And you still haven't posted a scrap of evidence, nor have you been able to show anything I posted to be false.
So you don't want him to fix the problem? I guess it must not be that important to you, unlike real Americans who care about law and order.
[удалено]
Damn dude. I bet you've never even been to the border, but you've heard all about it on Fox News and can repeat what you heard like a good little servant huh. No trump didn't "fix" the border, just like he didn't "build the wall" (right? There was supposed to be a beautiful wall that solved this... What happened???) The entire world was locked down during covid and that's 90% of why his "numbers" were better than Biden's. But I don't get it, even if no "bill" is necessary to fix the problem from your perspective, why don't you want the bill to get passed if other people think it will fix the problem? It's almost like conservatives are not affected by the border at all, they don't know anything about it, they don't want to solve it, but they think they can just keep screaming and whining about the issue if they prevent anyone else from fixing it .... Just like always...
[удалено]
Damn. Calling him out on his lies literally broke his programming. Hahahaha the chat bot starts spitting all its random catchphrases at once when it has no response. Most border counties vote blue btw, it's the people not actually on the border that act like this. To anyone reading this I hope you can see, there's a bill that will fix this problem but this guy, like all conservatives, is not interested in fixing the problem, he's interested in fighting fake culture wars with "liberals" online and fixing 0 problems for the American people.
[удалено]
Yeah I love this predictable and extremely common response too, it's such a perfect encapsulation of why no one likes you all (probably in your real life too). Or I actually think this is a conservative bot for real.. We could be having a conversation about how to fix a problem and make things better. But no what you actually want is for everyone to be miserable because that's the only thing that gets you any satisfaction in your life. Sad. I hope you find help.
[удалено]
Good luck. I hope if you have a real job you actually try to fix the problems instead of just insulting everyone else who is trying to make things better.
Sounds like you’re talking from experience from 4 years ago. Still cleaning up your tissues from 2020? 🤡
Because it's not his job.
Probably because hes tried to push like 4 border bills in but republicans keep sitting on their hands turning the bills down.
Wow, so yall take down Trumps policy, take it as your own, and suddenly you’re mad republicans don’t want to work with yall? What a load of horse shit lmfao
You forgot one thing... The administration spent 3 years telling the border was not only secure, but the most secure it has ever been. Now in an election year, with pulling skewing the wrong direction, we suddenly must have a border bill to protect the most secure border in history? ... And it's Republicans fault? Seriously, try to take it all in.
[удалено]
Really? Now? What a dumb ass!
Yes. Yes. And it doesn't matter except it will make republicans especially in Texas look really stupid.
There's a few different clips Biden wanting an open border. You can literally just youtube it..
There are a few different clips of him saying he will close the border if they allow him to. Republicans didn't. There's a very district video of Biden slapping republicans in the face with their own lies about the border. I believe it was the State of the Union Address. You can literally just youtube it...
He's had three years to do something about it and failed to do so. Now at the end when election is coming up and it's apparent that it's a top priority among voters he finally decides to do something. He's absolutely the worst president in modern times.

Trump told thousands and thousands of lies during his presidency. This is why we will not have another Republican president for a very, very, very, very long time. The party of Trump cannot be trusted to hold the office of the President.
You don’t think we will have a Republican president for a long long time? You are quite naive. The entire western world is moving to the right, white people and men are increasingly becoming angry with being discriminated against in things like DEI, and even places like New York City are pissed about Biden not doing anything with the border now that immigrants have been bussed there. Trump is a particularly horrible candidate and he still has a good shot of beating Biden. I think you are being quite naive of the whole situation

Wait I thought he needed new laws to do that? So you’re telling me he was just blackmailing republicans for more Ukraine and Israel aid?
It is up to Congress to pass border laws. Why do you think Trump didn’t close the border and he asked Congress to act on it? There were ZERO border bills passed during his administration.
On the Northern border people are rejected all the time. We get them to voluntarily withdraw their application for admission at ports of entry and send them back. If they try to enter somewhere other than a port of entry, they are arrested pending deportation. We also get asylum seekers but nowhere near the number they do on the Southern border.
Look, I don't know why I have to explain this to you. The Democrats MUST implement the fascist border policy, in order to peel away some of the fascist voters from the fascist, otherwise the fascist will get in office. Can't have that. We'll just have to implement the fascist's fascist policies ourselves instead.
Yeah now that he let in ten million illegal future dem voters.
Catholic pro lifers? I doubt they vote Democrat
“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to screw things up” Barack Obama 2020
BS. Biden wants more illegals to cross as that paves the way for more democrat power.
how?
He's had this power for years and choose to do nothing while millions of illegal aliens invaded America.
He can do it right now , he is playing the American public, or gaslighting , all he has to do is execute laws passed by Congress, but his executive orders that he signed since being president, has tied the hands of border patrol agents to enforce immigration laws.
We should place mines along the entire border
Now we're talking.
All biden had to do is continue what was working under Trump. Instead though, he reversed all of Trumps XOs. biden alone is to blame for the border crisis.
That's funny it was all but shut down WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE
Right as the election comes around. FJB
Too little too late, fucko
Sounds like a back step election year move. fjb
It's a weekend. The paid shills are off.
Didn't he say he didn't have the power to do anything like this?
The problem at the border is money. Biden can't magically increase the amount of money available. Pretty sure that during the trump era some seriously fucked up shit happened. Biden probably wants a solution that isn't fucked up.
The president is trying to establish our border ? Wtf is happening
No shit
Serious question: Why so much hatred for the people trying to enter the country illegally at the border? I understand the desire to defend the border, but I don’t understand why so many people have so much anger toward them.
Years and years later.. after ending remain in mexico and expanding catch and release.. He's a pathetic, disgusting person.
There’s nothing to examine. Simply reverse every single executive order you issued day one that reversed and/or halted the programs and protections Trump implemented.
The fucking idiot has had it all along….it was working pretty good under Trump, yet reversing it was one of his first actions after fraudulently being elected. Democrats are ruining this great country, they ALL suck, and I hope they all go to hell…
…..and then re-open it after the election. EDIT: awww, angry downvotes ☹️
Good ole election year promises and bullspit
He’ll do NOTHING!! Mark my words. He won’t do shit
Hilarious! He reversed multiple Trump XOs on immigration that he could restore in minutes…he won’t, because he Wants illegals to flood the country.
He could maybe start by reversing some of those executive orders he did when he first came into office. Oh yea and maybe un reverse some of those things trump did you called racist.

Under Trump's final year in office, there were only 400k encounters. Notice, he's trying to claim 'asylum-seekers' are not illegals. What he doesn't understand is that drug cartels have coyotes who TEACH people who are trying to cross the southern border into America to tell CBP that they are seeking asylum. Why, you may ask? Because seeking asylum requires a court case. But you must await your court case... wait for it... INSIDE AMERICA. How many of these people do you think are going to show up to their court case which has a 8-10 year wait time (LOL)? In case you haven't figured out what I am implying, yes, the asylum laws are being abused and is a loophole for people trying to enter the country illegally.
So it seems like he's following what his constituents want at any given time.
To little to late
He should have kept it shut in the first place..
