Tell that to the orange fella holding up border-securing legislation so that he can stay out of prison for his many crimes.

Took you a long time to come up with the dumbest imaginable post. This has everything to do with biden and nothing to do with the orange fella. Because you had no valid argument. When in doubt cry about the orange fella. It's a weird obsession/derangement syndrome

The real story there is once again, the federal government has linked things together that have nothing to so with eachother. Instead of taking one issue at a time and doing whats best for our country

Because why should sending money to ukraine have anything to do with our southern border?

Why is ukraine forever and always Washington's top priority

In fact a lot of Washington's failure to get things done can get traced back to this one issue.

Instead of voting on resolvinylg a singular issue, they always draw up these enormous spending packages with a bunch of ridiculous things lumped together, and vote on them as a whole

The drownings took place on Mexico side of the river and had nothing to do with Texas attempts to improve border security.

seriously? that’s what you’re going with? they were mexico’s fault?

No. Republicans have xero interest in positive public policies Abortion! Border stuff! Hunter! Rinse. Repeat. It is about power and stifling policy to serve the rich.

You are missing the point. If your orange wannabe king was not holding up immigration reform for personal reasons, it would get passed.

But he is.

He spent years trying to get them on board and build a wall. Trump was right about the immigration issue years ago. The dems dont get to play that card now. It's easy to fool democrat voters but nobody else is buying it

Dude you're the one that ought to be banned... if all you do is repeatedly call people a pos.

Did I blame Mexico? No. Did I blame Texas? No. It's not a countries fault. Someone led their kid to their deaths by breaking laws and attempting to sneak into another country. That's the person to blame if we have to play the blame game. Texas or Mexico didn't do it tho

If you and your kids froze to death trying to sneak into Canada I wouldn't blame you or Montana. Be logical

Speaking of, since Texas can now defy the federal gummint then maybe it’s nbd for doctors to perform abortions there either.

https://www.borderreport.com/immigratio ... port-says/

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection records obtained by the Washington Post show that suspected smuggling gangs managed to hack through the heavy steel bollards making up the fence 3,272 times between 2019 and 2021.

The cost to repair the 30-foot-tall beams added up to $2.6 million over that period, the CBP records show."

Ah, that beautiful, impenetrable wall...

You would do well to read actual news. That is what is happening.
