Liberals Enraged At Border Czar Vowing To Secure The Border

Donald Trump's appointment of key administration officials got off to a rocky start this week, as liberals became enraged at the notion of having a Border Czar who vowed to secure the border.

With Tom Homan being placed in charge of the border, Democrats and other left-leaning people expressed outrage at Trump's audacity in selecting a Border Czar who will perform the duties of a Border Czar.

"Who does this guy think he is?" asked Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Where does someone who has been appointed Border Czar get off securing the nation's border? Does he know that other people who were in charge of the border did the same job while allowing anyone who wanted to come into the country to do so without being stopped? But here's this new guy who wants to secure the border after being put in charge of securing the border. Make it make sense."

Other liberals were also angered by the potential consequences of Holman's arrival. "Destroying the country will be a lot more difficult now," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "It now sounds like this new Border Czar will overstep his bounds and seek to protect the United States and its citizens, which is something none of us ever imagined. Who would even conceive of such a thing? But, sadly, this is Donald Trump's America."

At publishing time, liberals were reportedly preparing to stage mass protests to express displeasure with the idea that Trump's administration may also feature someone running the Health Department in such a way that may eventually lead to Americans being healthier.

Those against should read the constitution

Help me out here! I'm not necessarily for or against; just wondering what the Constitution has to say about immigration.

Article 1, § 8, clause 4 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to establish a "uniform Rule of Naturalization". But that's not the same thing as immigration. What, exactly, does the Constitution say about immigration??

BTW, the due process and equal protection clauses apply to all people, including immigrants, and restrict the power of the federal government and states.

Gosh, it almost sounds like every asylum seeker and every person who entered with Temporary Protected Status might have a right to file a case in court and challenge the attempts to deport them. How many immigration judges do we have anyway??

@ElwoodBlues it ended because the biden administration sued to end it.

i already answered your question... enforce existing laws while working to change them.

@boudinMan "Remain in Mexico" is not a law, it's a Covid era directive.

Our existing laws have a giant loophole that can be gamed and is regularly gamed by millions. We DID work to change existing laws, and tRump killed the effort.

On Feb 7, 2024, Republican Representative from Texas Chip Roy said:
"I saw former President Trump make that allegation earlier today on one of his social media posts. 'All the president has to do is declare the borders closed and it's closed.' Well, with all due respect, that didn't happen in 2017, 18, 19, and 20. There were millions of people who came into the United States during those four years and Trump stopped very very few of them despite his lies."

Pipe down, sunstroke, adults are talking.
