Here's an interesting article comparing some different approaches to border security: https://leitf.org/2021/04/enforcement-priorities/
This constant "crisis at the border" bullshit is so tiresome because it is the same as all those other hot button bullshit political talking points like "get tough on crime" or "family values" or "protecting our children". It is the eternal ongoing crisis that we can be concerned about without ever having to worry about any real solutions presenting themselves. This is a good distraction from other more pressing issues like the alarming rise in homeless population or the ever growing wealth gap.
Further, people don't seem to recognize that US foreign policy had a direct influence on the number of people trying to get across the southern border. So many resources and efforts were put Into destabilizing every part of Latin America, that the consequences are still being felt today.
Its only a "constant crisis at the border" because the feds refuse to secure it. Its like climate change, its not going to stop because people want to ignore it.
No man, it's a constant crisis because fox news constantly proclaims it, as it's a sure fire way of rustling the jimmies of racist boomers, but thanks for your super low effort reply.
Obama deported more people than any other president in history. The illegal immigrant population in the US stopped growing for the first time in decades. Because this was done by a democrat, these facts were invisible to those who preferred to wring their hands and demand something be done about all the "bad hombres" streaming across the border.
But tell me, party of small government and low taxes and responsible spending, what sort of "secure border" are you looking for? What's a practical, reasonable budget for a 2000 mile border? Do you want two thousand miles of concrete barriers and machine gun towers every 50 yards?
Fox news?
Wow.
Who needs fox News to know the Biden Administration is not only NOT enforcing our laws, they're saying states that are trying to enforce our laws are breaking the law.
Stop being so ideologically blinded.
Ok that sentence is not making any damn sense to me. They're not only NOT enforcing our laws, they're saying states that are trying to enforce our laws? What?
