The bill was created by a republican senator
And somehow the democrats maintained their believability when telling us for the last 3 years that our border is safe and secure?schmendeler said:
The republicans lost any believability that they truly care about the border when they took trump's marching orders to tank the most substantive border bill in decades in order to allow him to campaign on it instead of addressing the issue.

You're a joke and complicit.
You mean the same democrats that controlled majorities in both chambers?schmendeler said:jonb02 said:And somehow the democrats maintained their believability when telling us for the last 3 years that our border is safe and secure?schmendeler said:

There's that handy "what about?!" The democrats were willing to do something but daddy trump told the republicans to get in line and since they are all terrified of him they immediately obeyed. It's hilarious and also pathetic.
Why doesn't Biden put back in place all the EO's that Trump was using? While they weren't perfect, they numbers were significantly better under Trump. This is 100% on Biden.schmendeler said:
Trump is to blame for prolonging it for his gain, right this moment, that's what everyone knows, lol. Dude is poison and the republicans swallowed him.

It was "discovered" lol. As if it wasn't written with full republican cooperation. You guys really believe anything. Trump told them to kill it and they did!

Quote:
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said he was shocked that McConnell was not able to get more Republicans to coalesce around the bill.
"He didn't just bless the deal. He wrote the deal," Murphy, the lead Democrat in those negotiations, said. "I have a ton of respect for his commitment to Ukraine. I genuinely enjoyed working with his team. They were in the room every single day. But it's really worrying that a deal that was written and endorsed by the minority leader gets four votes from his caucus."
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., who was elected in 2010 to replace Joe Biden, said that in those nearly 14 years he has never seen a McConnell-backed deal collapse so quickly with the GOP.
"It surprises me," he said.
But Trump's hammering of the deal, while he uses immigration as a campaign issue, and his demands that Republicans reject it won the day. On Tuesday, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a member of McConnell's leadership team and one of several prospects to replace him as leader, rejected the border bil, saying, "Americans will turn to the upcoming election to end the border crisis."
Hundreds of illegal aliens overwhelm Texas troops in El Paso and storm the border

Nope. You're trying to pin the invasion of illegals on Trump. Biden has the power to pretty much stop it (or greatly slow it down)... just like Trump did. But he's chosen the opposite path. So again, this is 100% on Biden.schmendeler said:
You're deflecting. Another what about.
So answer this simple question... why doesn't Biden put the EO's back in place that he removed?schmendeler said:
Republicans had an opportunity to pass legislation (not easily reversible EOs) crafted by their best leader, maybe ever, in Congress to address the border, and they passed on it because Trump told them to! You can deflect all you want, but that's the truth.
Why is the legislation needed? What in it will help the Biden Administration do the job it refused to do. Most of it does not even concern the border at all. All of it is politics, neither party has clean hands in this. Both should be ashamed how they play with peoples lives for political gain.schmendeler said:
After you admit that trump effectively killed the legislation because he wants to use it to campaign.
McConnell... lololololschmendeler said:
Ask McConnell, it was his baby! Are we pretending that Mitch is secretly a Dem, now? I love the rationalizing instead of admitting that Trump killed it.

No. Read my comment about politicians playing games with peoples lives for political gain, wealth, historical legacy, whatever . . .instead of trying to solve the problem. Do you deny the Biden Administration created this problem?
For whatever it is worth, I don't have a high opinion of Trump either. While most would label me conservative but I do not feel at home in either major political party. I have friends that tend to lean left that feel the same. One is the Evil Dumb Party, the other is the Dumb Evil Party.

Beloved is irrelevant. He's a staunch republican who's delivered more for the party than just about anyone else in the last twenty years. You don't get to pretend that he's not working for your side.
