It's all there in this expose' of the absolute incompetence of the Biden White House that has brought this invasion over our borders.

 

[Veroe]

It's actually been incompetence from the Whitehouse and congress both for the last 30 to 40 years.

The laws are on the books. The Biden White House has decided not to enforce them.

 

[ll74]

He decided to treat people humanely.

Congress can address it, but won't because Trump told them not to.

 

[Veroe]

The laws are on the books. The Biden White House has decided not to enforce them.

But much of the problems now are because congress failed to act for years before. No tougher asylum process. No more judges to process asylum claim cases. No pathway to citizenship. No mechanism to deal with the surge of illegal border crossings. Nowhere to detain illegals in a humane but tough fashion. All of these have been questions that still have not been answered because no one is willing to solve the problem. They all just want to complain about it, including you.

From "Right"guide’s own article:

“Reality check: Much of the current crisis is rooted in factors Biden's team has had little control over — including unprecedented global calamities that have pushed millions of migrants to the U.S., decades of congressional inaction, and the state of key agencies after the Trump administration.”

Side note:

The immigration / border crisis is just another flaming bag of shit that the corrupt orange traitor left on President Biden’s doorstep when the corrupt orange traitor left office after one term and two impeachments.

SAD!!!

If trump built his wall, you wouldn't be able to whine about President Biden and the border crisis that trump helped perpetuate.

True. Senate Democrats, including a little known freshman Senator from Illinois blocked a bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2007 negotiated by Ted Kennedy and John McCain. It had everything Dems said they wanted. They killed it because wanted to keep the border issue alive as a 2008 election issue.

Did you know that in a not too distant past that the Republicans controlled literally everything and couldn't get a decent border bill or healthcare bill passed?

Probably not.

Probably not.

Yes. Both parties have had decades to pass immigration reform. Hasn’t been achieved since the Reagan administration. The fundamental difference is Democrats want more illegal border crossings, Republicans want none.

 

[Bray123]

Mexico paid up but Alex Jones stole the money before Trump could build it so it's Bidens fault for not constructing ladders for the cattle to climb so they could drink at the river.

Did I miss anything out?

You mean it was just like how Trump and the Republicans are blocking progress on the border issue now to use as an election issue.

And I bet it will go down just like it did in 2008 too. A bunch of whining and complaining about it but no one dem or pub will have the guts to take all the heat to get it done. Everyone will be too afraid of winding up like sen. Lankford now for trying it.

BabyBoobs is a lying, gaslighting POS.

Senator Obama didn’t block the immigration reform bill in 2007.

Senator Obama ACTUALLY voted FOR its passage.

Senator Obama DID support an amendment in the bill that called for the sun setting of a guest worker expansion provision in the bill, with the intention of protecting AMERICAN WORKERS and avoiding a potential immigrant worker overstay crisis. , but Senator Obama DID vote FOR passage of the bill.

Other "republicans" and Democrats DID filibuster the bill to defeat for a variety of reasons, but Senator Obama wasn’t one of them.

BabyBoobs (Lying POS)

The Dorgan amendment was a poison pill. Obama voted for it. Biden voted for it as well. As a result, the Kennedy-McCain bill died.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

And I bet it will go down just like it did in 2008 too.

It’s already gone down (with help from 5 Senate Dems).

 

[Rotadom]

Both parties have had decades to pass immigration reform.

Not a "both parties" thing. Both parties didn't use the border crisis as a political weapon and both parties didn't control everything and then did not do anything about it.

You dear leader won an election on fear-mongering you :clown:s into believing that electing him would solve all of your problems.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Hasn’t been achieved since the Reagan administration.

What was specifically done during Reagan that you think was a positive regarding the border?

The fundamental difference is Democrats want more illegal border crossings

This is a dumb lie by you. Not that you're capable of anything else, though.

Please name every Dem who wants more illegal crossings. Just one.

Do your own homework.
You can google the 2007 border bill. You can google the Simpson-Mazzoli bill.

Admitting you're wrong is the first step. Good job, bummer!

BabyBoobs continues to be a lying, gaslighting POS.

BabyBoobs also just moooooved the goalposts like a lying, gaslighting POS.

Side note:

For EVERYONE’S information:

The Byron Dorgan amendment was supported by Democrats AND "republicans", and PASSED with BIPARTISAN support, while also facing bipartisan opposition.

So NOT a "poison pill".

I'm glad bummer picked up Rightguide's failure slack in this thread.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Admitting you're wrong is the first step. Good job, bummer!

Thanks for admitting you have no knowledge of immigration reform efforts since the 80s.

It was Kennedy who pleaded with his fellow Democrats to oppose the Dorgan amendment. It passed with one vote, and the bill died.

 

[Rotadom]

Your crying about a non existent poison pill doesn't mean I have no knowledge about anything, bummer.

The utter incompetence of your party's ability to do anything about the border crisis even though it's your hottest topic is your problem.

 

[Rotadom]

Please name every Dem who wants more illegal crossings. Just one.

Bummer must've missed this. I'm sure he wouldn't dare dodge such an easy win for him, right? Right?!

Time to tap the sign:

Hope that ^ helps.

A reminder of BabyBoobs ORIGINAL claim:

True. Senate Democrats, including a little known freshman Senator from Illinois blocked a bipartisan immigration reform bill in 2007

The truth and reality:

Senator Obama voted FOR passage of the 2007 immigration reform bill.

BabyBoobs is a lying, gaslighting POS.
