i know it isn't working because it's working.

Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, published a tweet this morning, alerting the public to some developments along the U.S./Mexico border:

"899 lbs of fentanyl and 15,631 lbs of methamphetamine were seized at the southern border in October alone. That much fentanyl is the equivalent of 204 MILLION lethal doses. We need border security!"


Of course, part of the problem is that the third sentence doesn't quite match the first: If all of these illegal drugs were seized at the border, then we clearly already have quite a bit of border security.

For Republicans to criticize the seizures is a little weird. In fact, common sense suggests GOP officials should focus attention elsewhere, since the seizures disprove one of the party's favorite talking points: If the president had implemented an "open-border" policy, as the right routinely claims, U.S. Customs and Border Protection wouldn't have stopped these shipments before they entered the country.

Remind me again who advertised that the U.S. would have open borders when President Biden was elected???

Oh yeah, now I remember..... It was Repubkicans and the traitor in chief.

President Biden ran on providing the financing for modern border security, while Republicans and the traitor in chief ran on getting Mexico to pay for an antiquated wall.

(And no BoBo, calls for ending the family separation policy and treating illegals in custody humanely was not an announcement of open borders)

The canard that "Democrats" want open borders is just ANOTHER of the Republican's big lies.
