This Is How You Know "The Border Bill" Was Pure Garbage
Why would you call it a "border bill" when only 17% of the funding was for the US border? Roughly 80% was for foreign aid, mostly to Ukraine and Israel.
The answer is simple...dems knew the border issue was an election hot topic. They also knew republicans would reject the funding, which would enable them to place the blame of letting in more than 10 million illegals including violent criminals and terrorists on the GOP.
Yet, here's a real problem for democrats. Trump managed to reduce illegal immigration down to a trickle without additional border funding. And had they completed the wall, the illegal crossings would be even lower.
Having Klamaka in charge of the border is like having an arsonist as chief of the fire department.
@carpediem it's not all Brits...just the one's like this dipstick. Far more socialist Brits argue with me on SW about American politics than do American liberals. Didn't used to be that way 😉
Ukraine is a dog whistle for BritishFailedAntiperspirant

That truly is beyond parody 🤣🤣🤣
Puts me in mind of my teenager's excuse for not tidying her room (at the fourth time of asking):
(1) It was sunny outside (2) Doing stuff outside with my friends is more fun than cleaning and dusting (3) Your expectation that I tidy my room is therefore both unreasonable and unrealistic 😅
@Gibbon exactly...Trump was correct (as he always is) that the border can be secured without additional funding.
More ironically is that Trump asked for $10 billion for the wall, which democrats said was "immoral" and unaffordable...yet they sit with their thumbs up their collectivist asses until the problem boils over, then request twice as much.
@Gibbon and the proposed solution's impact on illegal immigration would be minimal. It slows it a little bit...we'd still have more than 1 million+ coming through. That we know about.
