speaker - 2 house shit

bidens war funding request could be in play...they clearly want it badly

i am pro war...best bang for the buck. definitely make sure all funding is watched and on the up-and-up

the chubby senator from TEX came out with his LONE Israeli funding bill....seemed reasonable with zero UKR funding in it.

here's a chance for the House to get their border wall and other security measures for northern and southern borders....using this Israeli attack as why this NEEDS to be happening ASAP...worse case, leverage the shit out of it(the need to fund UKR) to AT LEAST get 85 percent of the infrastructure in place for OUR country.

The problem with UKR funding is that the new speaker is against it, like strongly. If the Dems want they can use their leverage to tieit to Ukraine aid since the GOP is pretty staunchly pro Israel. Border funding won't get done regardless as Biden doesn't have the desire. The republicans probably won't even be able to muster a bill to keep the government open in the three weeks they got so it's pretty much a moot point either way

Personally I wouldn't mind funding more border patrol agents and more court infrastructure to deal with those that come thru but I think building a wall is beyond moronic. No wall or barrier is ever going to stop people from coming across.. All of trump's beautiful wall was defeated by $7 worth of rebar made into ladders. Hell it even paint matched and camouflaged itself lol

We need those 8000 a day, but need to have the infrastructure to support them.

Long term, many immigrants will work harder than us counterparts. Especially the 20 year olds.

We had a hiring/training all month long in October, and 1st generation/2nd generation young adults have stepped up over their domestic counterparts. And don’t get me started on the old people who actually want to work.
They may bitch about aches and pains, but the worm ethic and dedication, in what I have seen from the recent immigrant class, outpaces new hires who have been here for generations.
And they are not glued to their phones.

ISOS please explain to me exactly how a wall is going to stop anyone from coming over or under it? They don't work you fucking moron. Look it up. I costs roughly $7USD worth of rebar to build a ladder, that conveniently matches the color scheme lol, to hop over every fucking mile of wall that trump built you tool. The cartels can afford the construction costs lol

i don't know if you two dumb motherfuckers are ever going to REACH dude...BUT holy fuck. this must be just trying to fuck with people...no way you can actually think this shit up


NEED the 8000 coming in per day?

really? we need em? did you see the mayor of NYC come out a few months ago? what did he say? THEY will NEED 5 billion dollars over 3 years as a result of the latest surge. does NYC have an extra 5billion bucks? if not...less police, less fire....less things that keep existing citizens safe

guess what else?


how is a wall supposed to stop 8000 coming thru?

like i said before...the 8000 was coming thru one spot. what were your ideas again to stop 8000 coming thru one spot?

Hiring more border patrol agents, building out the court system to handle processing them quicker. Two altogether much better use of resources then building a billion dollar wall that can be defeated by less then $6 worth of fucking rebar you brain dead imbecile

btw...it was never just a wall...it was all the other stuff also. the tech stuff.

More border patrol agents, use the military. A wall literally does nothing. If a $6 ladder can defeat the wall what's the fucking point? Use drones, cameras, motion sensors whatever. But you still physically need HUMANS to apprehend the fucking illegals. I don't understand why you can't wrap your brain around that. Unless you're clinically stupid, which is possible lol

Shocking new images show the Eagle Pass epicenter of the migrant crisis being hit by another huge influx of asylum seekers - as a leaked document suggests Border Patrol agents are too busy processing arrivals to guard the crossing.

The Texas town of just 28,000 people has been inundated by migrants in recent days, with border crossings rising to around 8,000 a day in the week ending September 22, according to the Washington Office of Latin America.

Throughout the month of August, upwards of 232,000 migrants made their way over the US-Mexico border.

I'm not sure if you understand this but MORE border patrol agents = more agents to STOP illegals. Jesus fucking Christ you're dimwitted. You can't physically stop illegals without actually heading other human beings to arrest them. No tech, hi or low, is going to solve that problem dipshit. You need boots on ground. Unless you think we can build robots to do it lol

Based on what I’m reading, the new speaker is a disaster for Republicans and will be used by Democrats in their messaging to motivate voters.

Johnson is ultra, ultra conservative. He wants a national abortion ban. Wants to strip gays of all rights. Wants to create a Christian nation.

When Dr.Boogie claims that a politician would want to shut down HX, this is the one who would do it.

Team Red picked another winner! 😉

No extreme measures will get passed with a Democrat controlled Senate. Nothing will likely get done because of the Speaker that was chosen. That’s why Republicans will stand to lose a lot because of that choice; it will hurt Republicans politically by motivating Democrats to vote.

But who knows. Maybe the moderate Republicans will vote with the Democrats to pass bills, fund Ukraine, and raise the debt ceiling.

A wall as a physical barrier that can slow down illegal immigrants, but it isn't very effective in keeping people out. They can easily climb it or cut holes into it with some time. But in heavily trafficked areas, it would be somewhat helpful and I do agree that 8,000 people a day is ridiculous.

the purpose of a wall is to slow down the flow. It is much better than no wall at all where migrants just walk straight ahead. It does not take a genius to understand that.
The cost of the wall is very low compared to the money we are sending abroad.

More border patrol and build out the courts to deal with the overflow of illegals coming in. You're the one who's stuck on the wall lol

But GBD what would you do to try and stem the illegals from coming over? And don't tell me a moat with alligators and gun turrets lol. You seem like a well read and knowledgeable person. What's your solution. I personally think it's manpower with advanced tech and building out the court system to handle the illegals when they do apply for asylum.

Walls seem more superficial signaling than effective, imho
If there's money to be made on any illegal imported goods, the cartels will figure a work around to any barrier we could design.

Best place to start would be for these two fucked-up imbecilic parties to design a better immigration system. Back in the 80's, the agreement was grandfather illegals in the country in exchange for making a better system. They did the first part but never could agree on the second part.

40 years later, we're back to where we were.

Temporarily, in the meantime, more manpower is it plus electronics. This system of just letting a shit ton of bodies in and telling them to show up for a hearing in a year is fucking nuts and pressuring county/city services. Although, it's pretty funny watching Dem mayor's scream at a Dem Pres, it's not productive, efficient or smart. FJB is losing votes on this issue.

Population demographics argue for much higher LEGAL immigration and much lower ILLEGAL immigration. If we don't want to end up like China, Japan, Italy and a bunch of countries with contracting populations......we need the bodies. The great unwashed masses of today become the parents of college grads tomorrow. Eventually, they too will become spoiled bratty lazy good for nothing insta wanna-be influencing 'Muricans.

Was that #tldr?

No and it makes sense, at least to me. More manpower and tech are the only actual solutions to addressing the current influx. A wall is completely ineffectual. And I also agree that overhauling the law re: immigrants is necessary. We need the labor for sure and I believe if given a chance most illegals will do okay for themselves here as well as being a net positive on the economy. Their kids however will become good for nothing entitled brats. I can speak from experience, all four of my grandparents legally immigrated to America. It only took two generations and one wildly successful set of parents for me to be a lazy entitled American lol
