• Gabbard on border crisis

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALL on Sunday, September 26, 2021 11:13:00
    Tulsi Gabbard, on Twitter, 9/23/2021:

    "The Biden/Harris open-door policy has been a disaster. It needs to end now. The main beneficiaries of open borders are the gangs, cartels and human traffickers. The Trump policy of having people wait on the other side of the border worked and needs to be reinstated."

    Does Tulsi Gabbard know how many Haitians were deported back to
    Port-au-Prince?

    The border is not "open."

    Mayorkas says as many as 12K out of 17K Haitian migrants have been released into U.S., and that the number could be even higher.

    I like Tulsi, but she's useless. She should have drafted an immigration bill while she was in congress, if Joe's shortcomings are such a big deal to her.
    We can blame Joe all day but Congress is the real villain in all this. We're not getting out money's worth out of them, they're slacking, so Joe's signing executive orders for everything, just like Trump did.

    So considerably less than 100%. That doesn't sound like an "open border" to
    me.

    So you'd be ok with a Democrat-written immigration bill, if only the Republicans in Congress would stop being obstructionists?


    Interesting.

    70% is a lot. 70% = the majority of the Del Rio migrants were released into
    the streets of the USA, unable to get jobs, unable to be traced, and totally able to rape, pillage, and murder whoever they want with much less
    consequences than those of American citizens.

    If the Republicans in congress are obstructionists, then everyone in congress is an obstructionist. All it takes is for one of them to draft a bill, then they can seek support from other members, but as far as I can tell, they are all just avoiding it.

    70% does not an "open border" make.

    Nope. Republicans are obstructing a Democrat-written immigration bill.

    There is no such thing as a Republican-written immigration bill, and Republicans are overwhelmingly anti-immigration because they fear a non-white majority.

    The border is not "open."

    Haitians must not be as reliable as "sure Democrat voters" as their Central American counterparts.

    Not all of the Central American refugees get in, either.
