Chinese are crossing at southern border

I know it's a foreign concept to you, but that's the very reason she's there, so that they have diverse opinions. She rotates with a few others, mostly Harold Ford Jr. 

So, unlike here, she doesn't have to worry about an "agree with everyone or else" mentality. 

I didn't post that for anyone specifically, but it's interesting that you thought that

The 9/11 terrorists had US-issued visas. Close to 3,000 people were killed. One of the most notorious killers and rapists in the US was Ted Bundy, who was born in Vermont. Brooklyn-born Jeffrey Epstein raped and sexually trafficked over a hundred underaged girls. Anyone here can come up with many examples to prove that neither the possession of a US visa or a US birth certificate, or the absence of such, is a predictor of moral behavior or criminal propensity. Heinous crimes are committed by all sorts of people regardless of their residency status. Immigration challenges are difficult enough without muddying the issues by equating morality to the presence or absence of a piece of paper.

I personally despise the nativist attitude. My generation is either dead or retired. That’s tens of millions of people no longer in the workforce. Later generations did not or are not having as many children as before. Where will we get labor from to sustain and grow the economy? From my vantage point, if it weren’t for the undocumented in my state, our state economy would greatly suffer. These are people who keep so many industries going that if we were to deport them all, it’d be a self-inflicted wound. My governor and senators have been urging Biden to give the state permission to issue work permits to asylum seekers and the undocumented because we’re experiencing severe labor shortages.

What people want are realistic, humane and feasible immigration reforms. Using immigration as a political football and a means to portray the undocumented as one homogeneous group of criminals helps no one, least of all the “natives.”

No. I’m showing you how inaccurate it is to use a rare incident to dehumanize an entire group. Clearly you’re able to see that when it applies to you because you get all kinds of worked up. Why can’t you see it when it applies to a brown-skinned immigrant?

Further, a bipartisan Senate bill was sent to the House to provide more funding to the border so asylum claims can be investigated and processed more quickly. It would also have allowed BP to stop allowing asylum claims when the resources were overwhelmed. It would have helped with your concerns about people not being properly vetted. Why did your party vote it down? It seems it’s only a crisis when they’re asking for your vote and not when it’s time to fix it.

The rhetoric from Republican candidates and elected officials right now is that there is an invasion (their word) of criminals and mentally ill people coming over the border and no one is stopping them. Both things are untrue. But it’s disingenuous for you to say that you only want people vetted better when the people and sources you cite are claiming something else entirely.

No, you are NOT.
Because AS I SAID, and you read right directly above your post... that's not what I'm doing.

I specifically said, several times, the problem is "they don't know who these people are".

As in they're letting in too many criminals with the good people just looking for asylum.

Even the border patrol, ICE and DHS has said that:

"People have been released prior to completed records checks being returned on a subject," an ICE official admitted. "Which would not allow proper processing and placement of a potential terrorist once those results were known."

"Many within the Biden administration, including [Homeland] Secretary Mayorkas, have repeatedly assured us that the vetting process at the border is comprehensive and complete. However, we continue to witness alarming instances where terrorists are able to freely roam the United States for months after being released at the border before their criminal and terrorist histories come to light … his situation is greatly endangering our nation, and it is clear that our safety is dependent on enforcing our immigration laws and securing the border." retired ICE field director John Fabbricatore

That's not to paint all illegal crossers as dangerous.


I also said:
"The arrests of individuals in the United States allegedly linked to Hezbollah’s main overseas terrorist arm, and their intelligence-collection and procurement efforts, demonstrate Hezbollah’s interest in long-term contingency planning activities here in the homeland.” -FBI director Chris Wray in a congressional hearing November 15

FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are warning that terrorists are currently a "heightened threat" including at the southern border.

Biden shattered the record with historic number of illegal immigrants in December

Federal agents recorded 302,034 illegal alien encounters last MONTH, the highest level EVER recorded, surpassing the previous record of 269,735 that Biden set in September 2023.

About 300 illegal aliens who tried to cross our border were on the terrorist watchlist.



So, NO.
You would have to pretend I didn’t say the things I actually said, in order to make the case that you needed to do that.
I know you often like to pretend that of people you hate, but it doesn't make your pretend game true.



So NO, YOU ARE NOT showing me anything. 
Not only did you use your parents' death to try to "win" a debate, that is already sickening enough, but you also tried to connect me to your parents' death. You are deplorably demented.

You are truly messed up.
Really. Get some help.
That is beyond sick.

You can claim it's been debunked all you want.  However, all of us can read your posts and the message is clear.  You posted at least 8 posts on this thread alone about crimes committed by migrants.

And just to repeat, a lot of these problems with asylum could be solved if Republicans signed the border bill they insisted on, negotiated and then refuse to sign on Trump's orders.

YOU are the one thst looks unhinged.
Not only did you use your parents' death to try to "win" a debate, that is already sickening enough, but you also tried to connect me to your parents' death. You are deplorably demented.

You are truly messed up.

You are a bully.
A little self reflection might help.

I’m a bully?! 😄 That is hysterical. I’ve never been called a bully in my life before. Oh you’ve made my day. 😂

She is following trumps lead. Keep repeating it and they will believe it's true. But we're not the gullible cult, so it won't work on us "libs".

What’s your point with the statement “a darkened room might help?”

The increasing episodes of repetition, the excessive and growing use of the caps lock, and the tortuous arguments all suggest to me that Gia is getting more and more agitated.

Do you have some kind of esp to hear their answers to the questions asked in their hearing? I know you think they want to freeload but they do want jobs AFTER saving their and their childrens lives from whatever situation they come from. 

@merge That's an awesome phrase!



Same. Bought one of the handwritten "Ruth shirts."


Yet wanna' be dictators continue the time-honored tradition of using it, and some portion of the ignorant masses still continues to fall for it. They might as well come out and say, "They're coming to get yours and to replace you." Blech.
