In fact?
The American economy BENEFITS from it.…
Actually?
THIS HAS BEEN going on for a LONG TIME…..
President Biden saw the same thing as Barack Obama’s Vice President….
There IS always gonna be migration to America (legal and illegal)….
In fact?
The American economy BENEFITS from it.…
So?
The Republicans WILL always be using the issue as bat against a Democratic President and Democrats in general…
Now the situation is being used to try install Donald Trump’s isolationist Foreign Policy something America has learned in it’s history could hurt America and other countries….
House Republicans ARE at odds with their fellow party members in the US Senate and the Democratic President…
A failure to pass a bill for Foreign Aid would suit the RightWingNuts fine…..
And make one Donald Trump smile…..
Last week, President Biden invited all of the Congressional Leaders to the White House for a meeting to try to make some progress on resolving the impasse. However, Johnson spoke to reporters BEFORE the meeting to announce that he was opposed to the still-evolving Senate border deal, the details of which he hadn’t yet seen.
To summarize, Johnson demands a border bill in exchange for passing Ukraine aid; the White House and Senate work on a border bill; Johnson opposes the bill without even seeing it, despite repeatedly declaring that the “crisis at the border” is the House GOP’s top priority.
Some commentary suggests that Johnson keeps moving the goalpost to prevent his caucus from having to vote on Ukraine aid, which is vehemently opposed by MAGA Republicans but enthusiastically supported by the Republican establishment and more moderate GOPers. With Johnson in perpetual danger of being McCarthy-ed, I am sure avoiding a tough vote is a factor. However, I think Johnson and the Republicans have another more nefarious reason — they want a crisis at the border to help them in the election.
Border Politics
The Republicans see the border as a huge political vulnerability for President Biden. I am dubious that it is the surefire political winner that the MAGA set believes, but there’s no question the Right has used their propaganda apparatus and cruel stunts with migrant families to put the situation at the border on the radar screen for the electorate.
In an early January CBS News/YouGov poll, the number of Americans who say the situation at the border is a “crisis” has gone up 7 points since May of last year…..

Evidence of Political Motivation
There are two pieces of evidence demonstrating that Republicans would rather have a crisis to exploit than an actual solution. First, whatever deal the Senate comes up with will be the best deal that Republicans will get on an issue they say is a “top priority.” Don’t take my word for it; here’s what Mitch McConnell had to say the other day:
“If we had a 100 percent Republican government — president, House, Senate — we probably would not be able to get a single Democratic vote to pass what Senator Lankford and the administration are trying to get together on. So this is a unique opportunity to accomplish something in divided government that wouldn’t be there under unified government.
Opposing this deal — whatever it is — is not some negotiating ploy to get a better deal. I don’t know what’s in this deal and I doubt I would like much of it, but from the Republican perspective, this is the best deal they could get. As Johnson presumably understands, nothing to the right of this deal can pass the Senate or be signed by Biden. If you want a solution at the border, this is it.
Second, in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Speaker Johnson admitted to talking with Trump about opposing a border deal….
This is false.
The current crisis situation at the border is not benefiting America. It is coming at a tremendous cost to Americans, especially as opportunistic politicians play games with people’s lives. This is also not benefiting the people attempting to come to America. They are being put into very bad situations as well.
What is currently happening has not “been going on for a long time.” The levels of people crossing is far greater than has ever been seen before. Policy changes put into place by this Administration is the main reason why.
The Biden Administration owns the current situation which should be expected, since they are in power. Both parties have a responsibility to have a comprehensive system of reform that is both realistic and humane. Both parties seem to rather have the issue than a solution though because they are afraid of their respective bases or because outrage and fear raises them more money.
Please read the linked piece….
These people pay into the Amnerican Social suport system while getting virtually nothing back….

AGAIN…
Abbott exppors are LEGAL MIGRANTS…..
And you ending paragraph is ON Point….
You link to a piece dated May 18, 2020.
That was a different time and a different Administration and right in the early stages of the pandemic. Much has changed since then. The bottom line is that people are coming across the border in far greater numbers than they were in May 2020 or at any time in our history. That is putting a stress on Americans and those people who are coming are also being victimized.
I am as pro legal immigration as it gets. I am as anti-immigrant bashing and demagoguery as they come Everything you are addressing to me is false. You are just not savvy enough to understand any of these issues.
You may also be unaware of the key point that those currently coming and seeking asylum are not legally allowed to work.
I SURE am and mention in my post that they SHOULD be allowed to work since they ARE LEGALLY here….
Not doing so makes them refugee’s HERE….
Mayor’s in Blue states ARE begging Biden to allow them to work if u aren’t aware of…..
There is NO difrence from 2020 to today CG….
As I point out there is in fact no difference going back to 2012….
There is no difference in the number of people crossing the border now as compared to 2020?
And you want to be taken seriously?
There IS no difference in the situation .,,,,
More people sure
But the way things are for dealing with the issue remains the same.,,,
Biden has made sure immigrants are treated better
But Congress is playing politics with the policy as it HAS for YEARS……
Republicans act as if they are separate from this
They are NOT.,,,,
As I highlighted
It’s just a political club they can keep beating Democrats with
That IS ALL
