#Fox contributor: President #Biden put on the table #border solutions, #Republicans agreed with him and then walked away for political reasons. He should remind people that Republicans walked away to help #DonaldTrump
The #Biden admin has a plan to shut down the #border. But it needs #Mexico's help.
The admin hopes to unveil a series of executive actions that President Biden can sign but will likely have to wait for the outcome of Mexico's June 2 presidential #election.
"In the minds of the average Republican voter, when a Democrat is in the White House, our border is a wide open highway where the most savage brown-skinned hordes from across the world are not just given open passage, but also gifted advance access to the American welfare state and apparently the right to vote."
It’s all a far cry from 2020, when #Democrats had polarized leftward on #immigration and then-candidate Biden spoke boldly of restoring “our historic role as a safe haven for refugees and asylum-seekers.”
Migrant crossings on the #US - #Mexico#border have dropped significantly in the first 3 months of the year, acc/to official figures, from a peak of 301,981 in Dec to under 200,000 a month from Jan - Mar. That could ease political pressure on #POTUS#Biden, but #Republicans are likely to continue attacking him by pointing out that border crossings remain relatively high.
Any Texan, in particular, can cast propaganda aside and simply look around to see that our state is built, maintained, and improved every day by unauthorized workers.
Why haven't we learned better lessons from decades of hopeless violence at the #border?
In our magazine, author Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera looks at #Mexico's war on drugs, and uncovers its real goals: land ownership and the control of natural resources such as oil, natural gas, #water, lithium, and more. https://www.texasobserver.org/unwinnable-drug-war/
Thank you to everyone who called #Congress in support of #Ukraine. You made a difference! Thank you.
Americans, we must ensure the senate moves quickly to approve/finalize.
It’s crucial to understand that the Republicans had the opportunity to pass the bipartisan national security bill, already approved in the Senate. However, they were UNWILLING to do so for six months. They unnecessarily introduced multiple bills, causing further delays in the aid to Ukraine. This must go through the Senate, even though the Senate had already approved a bill that included national security. The Republicans removed the #border security from the bill. Removing billions #potus had for CBP and CBP wanted this badly! Keep this manipulation in mind.
Remember this fuckery.
It is crystal clear that the treason caucus republicans are covered in #Ukrainian blood. MoscowMike Johnson has been stalling Ukraine aid for months, each time giving a different excuse. Traitorous republicans are marked. We will not forget.
On the important issue of #Border Security, Republicans are perpetuating a fraud on Americans. Republicans block all debate and ammendment to our border security bill.
Republicans rejected the bipartisan measure negotiated by their own members because they take orders from and are controlled by Donald. Republicans killed the bill because Donald ordered it. This is weakness to take orders from someone who was voted out of office, the adjudicated fraud, adjudicated rapist in a complete ethical collapse and dereliction of their duty. They are endangering the Security of all Americans.
#House Speaker #MikeJohnson is plowing ahead on a #ForeignAid plan that has roiled his conference & prompted 2 #Republicans to push an effort to oust him….
But instead of the complex 4-part plan he floated this week, Johnson now intends to try to pass 5 bills — 1 each for #aid to #Ukraine, #Israel, & #IndoPacific allies, …a #GOP wish list of #ForeignPolicy priorities & a 5th…to address widespread Republican… [#border ] demands….
