The Republicans are doing absolutely nothing to secure our southern border


When Trump won in 2016 the White House, House and Senate were controlled by the Republicans for 2 years. Why didn't Trump secure the border then? What are the Republicans doing now to secure the border?

Don't take the bait. people.

Because the Republicans don't want the border secured. Their paymasters at the Chamber of Commerce enjoy the cheap labor. We have a uniparty which is why we're not going to vote our way out of this.

“All a president has to do is declare the border’s closed, and it’s closed."

"Well, with all due respect, that didn’t happen in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. There were millions of people that came in the United States during those four years.”

"President Donald J. Trump announces steps he will take on Day One to end welfare for illegal immigrations and shut down Joe Biden’s abuse of parole authority."

I don't see anything about closing the southern border.

That wasn't spell-check.

His website says "Donald J. Trump announces steps he will take on Day One to end welfare for illegal immigrations."

C'mon, now, all those Sigma Chi boys can't be totally retarded...

I'm curious as to what your alternative is to just voting. Why do I have a suspicion that it's something similar to what happened on January 6th?

But with more lamp posts.

Although the Declaration of Independence has some very arguable statements, this one is certainly true: That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

The solution has been ongoing for 30+ years - USA is importing everyone who can speak Mandarin, to give jobs to everyone who can speak Spanish. Come to Southern California (and likely Northern California.)
