Axios: How Biden Botched The Border

[RobDownSouth]

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.

The fundamental difference is Democrats want a sensible immigration policy, Republicans want the status quo to remain so that they may continue to demonize Hispanics (the nebulous "Others") and fundraise off of the fear of a Hispanic planet.

Here is what Republicans want. They have passed it in the House.

So? The Senate passed a bill that they want. No one gets 100% of everything they want. Which is why your southern borders so fucked up. But hey, keep fighting over it and nothing will keep getting done.

The bipartisan bill failed in the Senate. They could not even get all the Democrats on board. Five of them voted against advancing it. Go figure. The president could issue an executive order to significantly curtail border crossings but so far he has failed to do that. A recent report from NBC News indicated that he’s now considering this long overdue action, perhaps leading up to or during his state of the union address. Let’s hope he does.

The bipartisan bill failed in the Senate.

And the house bill died too. Doesn't matter who voted for what, neither bill moved forward. So as I said, feel free to bitch and complain that nothing gets done. Nothing will until both sides compromise.

Maybe start bitching about that, instead of stamping your feet and whining this is the bill I want passed. You doing that makes you no better than those in Washington.

This is a very unbiased source from a very obviously non-partisan person.

He’d been released because… Democrats.

Deep State!

Drink!

“I’m outta here!”

If only.

To be clear, HR2 passed the House. The bipartisan immigration bill in the Senate failed. I hope Biden takes executive action as rumored. He certainly has the authority but so far hasn’t used it.

To be clear, you're promoting a nonpartisan bill, that failed. Biden didn't kill either bill, neither got to his desk. Again what do you want 100% of nothing, or 60 or 70 percent of something?

No President should have to EO the border. Tell the people who are supposed to be writing the laws to get off their asses and write one both sides can agree on!

As the invasion of the United States by foreign freeloaders continues unabated, it’s time for an update from one of the many illegal-alien flophouses the Democrats have set up here in Massachusetts.

Once these decaying, crime-ridden eyesores were moderately priced motels for hard-working Americans. Now Democrats have converted them into taxpayer-funded magnets for mayhem and welfare dependency – Third World style.

What follows is another dispatch from someone working at one of these Bidenvilles. Everything is in his own words, with only a few changes made to protect his identity (and job):

“The missing piece in Biden/Healey’s plan is that the (illegals) don’t understand or more importantly care how America works.

“From day one they have been handed everything. They don’t appreciate it one bit. It is expected…. They have zero respect for police, fire or hotel staff. Have said to me and others that if it weren’t for them, we would have no jobs.

“The hotel is being rapidly destroyed, as the rooms are dirty, even with twice-weekly housekeeping. The rooms’ heating systems are often maxed out, often the temperatures are found to be in the high 80’s, which causes humidity and attracts bugs.

“The hotel is making great money. Estimated $10 million on the rooms & close to $5 million on the food. Yet I would think a total remodel would cost 3X as much. Also, what is the reputational damage to the brand, as public opinion is turning fast on the hotel? Vendors, public safety and neighbors are fed up with this.

“We offer ESL (English as Second Language) classes, most do not take. Any of the jobs they have are minimum wage. No one understands that you can’t find housing in MA making minimum wage and not speaking English. Certainly they don’t have the financial knowledge to know that cable, internet, insurance, utilities, taxes are added costs in America.

“All services for them are free: medical, dental, legal. But often they don’t keep scheduled appointments. They say:

“We were sleeping.” Or, “We will come when we are ready.

“One resident yelled at me:

“How come you haven’t found me a house yet? I’m tired of living here.

“If they receive one meal they don’t like, they say they are treated poorly or have said they are treated as pigs.

“What does the Governor think is going to happen with all this?

“They can be placed in housing with the $30,000 Home Base guarantee. But when utilities, cable, etc. get turned off and the apartment gets trashed with bugs/rodents, what are the landlords going to do? It will cost them much more than $30K.

“With no financial education, won’t most (illegals) fail and become homeless, again, and become an even greater burden to taxpayers than they already are?

“The (local officials) are requesting weekly updates on calls to hotel for police/fire, to document the strain on public safety. A public records request of first-responder calls at all these places could make for a great column/story.

“Cops used to use our parking lot to do their reports. I know them. I’ve asked them about all the new cars, no insurance, no DL’s. They just shrug and say, ‘The Governor wants this.’ If no license, they just give a warning. I find beer and other alcohol in the parking lot every morning, often not empty, so obviously a lot of drinking and driving going on.

That’s it. Just one place, one formerly benign, now toxic location, destabilizing an entire community… for what?

These catastrophes are unfolding across the nation. State-run media are trying to keep a lid on everything, to protect Biden et al. from the catastrophes they’ve so gleefully created, but when your community is being destroyed, you start to notice.

You now see Roxbury residents on local TV noting the obvious — that illegals pay no taxes.

New York City police were attacked by Third World criminals on Randall’s Island last week when they arrived at that tent-city in the East River. Now New York is going to give the gang-bangers and terrorists debit cards loaded with as much as $10,000!

What could possibly go wrong?

Where are the AR-15 psycho's when you need em?

I never said Biden killed the bill. A comment was addressed to me about what Republicans want. I shared the bill that they passed. Then you interjected yourself into that exchange.

 

[LLCox]

The reason NOTHING about border security ever gets done is America needs workers. Blacks and Whites don't want to work they just want to get paid. It was the very end when the stimies started. There will be universal basic income any time now.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

I never said Biden killed the bill.

I never said you did. I said you want the President to use an EO since congress can't get it's shit together, and you support that fact.

A comment was addressed to me about what Republicans want. I shared the bill that they passed. Then you interjected yourself into that exchange.

How come when I beat you down on a point, you whine that I interjected.

You injected yourself into an exchange I had with another individual without any context.

You jumped in the middle of a conversation you weren’t a part of and I’m not interested in your thoughts on this one.

Seriously, I am pointing out that you are behaving exactly like those 20 in the house, that in another thread you tried to claim you despise.

( I can't be bothered digging up your post where you call out the exact same people you're supporting here)


No one gets exactly what they want in a Democracy, by definition a Democracy is about compromise.

A comment was addressed to me about what Republicans want. I shared the bill that they passed. Then you interjected yourself into that exchange.

You have stated many times that this is the bill (VVVVV) you want. But here ( ^^^^^) you try and pussy foot around about it.

HR2 is the bill I support but that’s a nonstarter as well. Immigration has been festering for decades.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Good grief. Now you’re pissed at me for sharing a link to what Republicans want. It wasn’t just 20 backbenchers. HR 2 passed 219 - 213. You could have looked it up. Congress has not passed an immigration bill in decades. Biden has the authority to dramatically curb border crossings. If he wants to do something, he can. Let’s hope he does.

 

[ll74]

For those insisting that "Biden already has the tools" - I give you the timeline of the previous administration trying to end asylum temporarily or permanently for entry between ports of entry. Spoiler alert, he can't really do that

And yes, the source is biased, but you can ignore their commentary

Now you're afraid to even quote me, next you'll be warning me not to come to the States again...*chuckles* that was funny.

The 20 Reps are driving the bus, just ask McCarthy, or Johnson.

Sorry but 219 votes in the House is a lot more than 20. Schumer couldn’t even get all his Democratic members behind the bipartisan senate bill. No one should be surprised by the senate bill failure. Especially Biden who spent decades in that chamber! The last big immigration bill happened in the 80s. Pretty naive to think a bill on such a vexing issue could be negotiated in secret in just a few months, then voted upon with just a few days of public review. Btw, instead of using his bully pulpit to rally support for that bill, Biden was largely MIA during the process. Too old and tired.

What provisions of HR2 do you object to?

Given the 40 year political stalemate on immigration legislation, why do you object to Biden using his lawful executive authority to curb border crossings? I don’t hear anyone on the Democratic side of the isle complaining about his student loan forgiveness order or other executive orders.

Thanks for setting the record straight, and kudos to the Politics Board’s favorite Democrats, Joe Manchin and John Tester.

You've been told before that you are not clever enough to pull off this facetious bullshit.

Just take your free education and walk on, kiddo.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

I could sealion and ask you what you objected to with the Senate bill, but why? All I see you do is stamp your feet and say, we will only accept HR2, because the republicans wrote it. Fuck all to do with the content. The Senate bill was a good step in the right direction, not the end, just a step.

Given the 40 year political stalemate on immigration legislation, why do you object to Biden using his lawful executive authority to curb border crossings?

Because an EO is just kicking it down the road. What needs to happen is a legislative change to reflect the current climate.

I don’t hear anyone on the Democratic side of the isle complaining about his student loan forgiveness order or other executive orders.

Sure, lets bring a goal post move in, you're good at that.

Gotta accept the real world as it is, not as you wish it was. Immigration legislation hasn’t been done in about 40 years. Both recent bills were DOA from the get go. Biden has the tool. If he wants to stop the flow NOW, he can.

It's not a win. You're just an useful idiot for a traitorous rapist and deserve the ridicule.
