Well, fortunately, Democrats are the party that is working to get the bipartisan border bill passed. Democrats are actually trying to solve problems at the border. Republicans are obstructing and blocking the bill. Republicans insisted on a bill, negotiated it for 4 months, then rejected it on Trump's orders because he wants to campaign on it. Republicans want the problem, not the solution. Republicans now own the problems at the border. The election in November will hopefully reflect that.

Just a reminder about the Dreamers. They are educated, employed or in school or both, speak English, have established families and housing... Have already contributed to our country. Model citizens-to-be!

Admittedly, this is a left leaning source and just one poll. But, I think Democrats are doing a good job of getting the message out and making it clear who is responsible for killing the bipartisan border bill.

Of course crime STATS are down when your policies dictate the dropping of charges and not prosecuting crime. When you don’t bother assigning police to make these arrests because you don’t have enough police to do so, BECAUSE you've demoralized and defunded them. When people know that in certain areas and don't even bother to make a claim. When people like Alvin Bragg is reducing 60% of crimes to misdemeanors or no crimes at all of course it LOOKS like crime is down. It's a numbers scam. Don't fall for it. |

The Biden administration is not defunding the police, they are investing in police departments, communities and gun violence prevention programs. Republicans, no longer the party of law and order with a nominee indicted on 91 felony charges, are the ones trying to defund the FBI, eliminate the FBI etc. thehill.com/homenews/administration/4289536-biden-administration-334m-police-officers-school-security/Biden administration announces $334M to hire police officers, improve security at schools The Biden administration announced Thursday new funding that will go toward hiring more than 1,730 law enforcement officers in an effort to reduce crime rates across the United States.
The provision of more than $334 million in grants through the Justice Department aims to help law enforcement agencies hire new officers, as well as boost school safety and advance community policing efforts.abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/biden-administration-offering-85m-grants-boost-jobs-violence-107620841Biden highlights how federal money is being used to boost public safety efforts President Joe Biden is trying to spotlight how federal dollars are both helping cities and police departments manage crime, and providing job opportunities for youth in communities affected by that violence WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden used a meeting with police chiefs on Wednesday to spotlight his administration's efforts to help cities and police departments manage crime while also providing job opportunities for youth in communities affected by that violence.
The president underscored how the American Rescue plan has helped Detroit pay for bonuses and hire 200 additional officers, Milwaukee fund gun crime investigations and Chicago better focus on community violence intervention efforts. He also took a glancing shot at Republicans, suggesting that his administration has helped cities around the U.S. reduce violent crime without Republican help.
"We stepped up thanks to my American Rescue Plan, which I might note, not a single person on the other team voted for," Bidens said at the start of the White House meeting that included the heads of police departments from Buffalo, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Chicago, DeKalb County, Georgia, Miami, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.
Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, hosted a roundtable later in the day on $85 million in federal grants meant to improve job opportunities for youth in communities affected by gun violence and crime. |

www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/trump-misleads-about-crime-and-public-safety-againTrump Misleads About Crime and Public Safety, Again The former president took the stage at CPAC to paint a bleak and highly misleading portrait of crime and public safety. But since 2021, violent crime has started to fall. According to the FBI, as of 2022 violent crime rates had fallen by 4 percent and murder rates by roughly 7 percent since 2020. Preliminary data suggests those declines accelerated in 2023.
In his Saturday speech to conservatives, Trump also spoke a good deal about an immigration crisis in America, making misleading statements about what he referred to as migrant crime and noting it will be “far more deadly than anyone thought.” Here, again, the former president was not truthful. There is no evidence of a migrant crime wave, including in New York City, which the former president referred to in his remarks today. To the contrary, statistics indicate that there has been no surge in crime since April 2022, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began bussing migrants to New York. Additionally, research reveals that undocumented immigration is associated with a decrease in property crime and additional research finds that Fentanyl is primarily trafficked by U.S. citizens.
Although violent crime appears to be receding across the nation, the American public is not fully aware of this trend. Most Americans believe that crime is rising, including 78 percent of independent voters. This gap between crime and perceptions of crime is not new — it’s a decades-long trend. Gallup routinely asks voters whether they believe crime is higher or lower than the previous year. Even in the midst of the decades-long decline in crime, between 1990 and the mid-2010s, Gallup records only two years when a majority of voters did not believe crime had risen.
Although the reasons why crime increases and decreases are complicated, we know that various social, economic, and environmental factors, such as growth in income and an aging population, are significant drivers of crime rates. We also know that investing in our communities through funding after school programming, anti-violence initiatives, and safe “third places” — like parks and community centers — helps build long-term safety.
Creating thriving and safe communities are goals we can all embrace. But misleading the American public about the truth and distorting reality is not the way to deliver public safety.

And some Portland peas showed up to note that their city was, in fact, still standing. (This is similar, BTW, to polling showing that Americans think public education generally is in the toilet but also are happy with their local public schools. Believe your own eyes instead of the media.) |

My brothers live there and when they were home for my grandpa's funeral in the summer and for Christmas, I heard several "concerned relatives" comment on it to them or me. Of course those people live in red states that are going to hell for other reasons. My brothers were more gracious in their responses than I would have been. |

And what’s your answer in all the places where crime is down and Alvin Bragg is not DA? DA might even be Republican. Still a numbers scam? No. If it's down under Republicans it's because they don't have these kinds of policies in running their cities: policies that dictate the dropping of charges and not prosecuting crime When you don’t bother assigning police to make these arrests because you don’t have enough police to do so, BECAUSE you've demoralized and defunded them. When people know that in certain areas, so don't even bother to file a report. When people like Alvin Bragg is reducing 60% of crimes to misdemeanors or no crimes at all of course it LOOKS like crime is down. They DO see evidence though. Just for instance, when so many stores in those cities have to lock up their PRODUCTS, because the POLICIES do NOT lock up the criminals involved in all the theft. When even that becomes unsustainable in some areas and so many stores have to leave those areas. Areas with those policies. That is evidence. Police getting beat up in NYC, people getting pushed onto the subway tracks, people getting shot. Being beaten unconscious with a metal pipe, women being sucker punched into unconsciousness. That is all evidence. I think it was CBS, that went to San Francisco to do a story about the crime destroying the area and the cameraman's car gets broken into. That is evidence. When HHS advised hundreds of employees in San Francisco to work remotely for the foreseeable future due to public safety concerns outside the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building. That is evidence. No, I dont remember that specifically. Link? |
