Texas is blocking border patrol access to US-Mexico border!

It's almost as if Republicans want border problems because they know that they won't be blamed for that but Biden administration. Though in reality: how is the federal government supposed to address the border, if they don't even have access to the border?

What Texas is doing here is quite unfortunate. They are not looking for solutions.

Many liberals here in the US seem to express the need for the US to have open borders. Why is that? Why is it that the US the only country not allowed to defend its borders and have to allow anyone and anyone in?

Those who decry such should travel to other countries and see if they can get in without the 3rd degree, or worse, from customs and border entities while at immigration, even a "friendly" country.

Republicans are actively reducing the quotas for legal immigration as well. Trump made significant reductions during his presidency. Therefore anyone who thinks that immigration is the solution to the fact that people are having less children than ever before while getting older on average, would have hard times voting Republican. The working-age population is in significant decline in comparison to those who are on social security, consume and use services. This is a big problem, basically in all western countries.

This isn't about "open" or "closed" borders. These terms are cringe.

I cannot help it if you haven't seen or heard them when discussing the southern border. When Finland gets overrun by millions of unexpected peoples in 3 or more years, you can talk to us about it. I guarantee that Finland enforces their border laws.

Joe Biden himself admitted it is not secure:

"No, it’s not," Biden said. "I haven’t believed it for the last 10 years. And I’ve said it for the last 10 years…give me the money."

Look, the border is secure. We are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge

Yes, that’s right. This is the man who proudly halted the construction of Trump’s border wall and oversaw an influx of illegal migrants into this country that is unprecedented in scope, and now he is posing as the Cassandra who has been warning us about the crisis at the border for ten years, which would take us back to 2014.

Let’s see. Who was president of the United States in 2014? If Biden had his way, we wouldn’t quite be able to remember, but I believe it was a fellow who was fairly close to Old Joe. If my memory serves me well, Biden himself may have been involved in that administration.

Of course, Biden didn’t mean it was Obama’s fault. He appears to have been blaming those dastardly Republicans who have apparently spent a decade rejecting his requests for funding to secure the border. When Henrich asked him if his own disastrous regime’s policies had any share in the blame for the catastrophe at the border, he responded: “No, I’ve…I’ve asked for thousands more, of everything – from judges to…anyway.” He asked for money from judges? Sure, Joe. Have another ice cream cone.

The BS is Over.

SCOTUS ruled 5-4 in favor of Biden administration.

"Supreme Court allows Biden administration to remove razor wire on US-Mexico border in 5-4 vote "

"The justices’ order is a major victory for President Joe Biden in his ongoing dispute with Abbott over border policy, which had become especially fraught in recent days after three migrants drowned in a section of the Rio Grande that state officials have blocked agents’ access to, prompting the administration to further press for the high court’s intervention."

This means I was correct in my assessment of the situation per my comment #180, #194

No, it means a state can't illegally place down tons of razor wire across waterways and private properties, which has caused injury, a miscarriage and even deaths.

It isn't anything to do about allowing them in or not, rather Texas wants to deny being checked up for a $11 million unethical blunder. The Texas state spent $11 million on that precious razor wire, which needed to get cut multiple times to free people from. They would rather the person just dies and perhaps just leave the body there to decompose, than waste that money each time.

American priorities with again scapegoat excuses. It's like them wanting to keep their guns and suggesting lets give schools guns to help with the school shootings... I mean prevent them?

The left has been looking for new ways to human traffic for cheap labor ever since we took their slaves away.

more clown show from Texas:

"Texans flock to social media to demand the state 'secede' after losing at Supreme Court"

It's disturbing how much Democrats and Democrat-sympathizers want illegal immigrants to enter and remain in racist Texas where they can be whipped and caged instead of allowing the refugees find a safer way to a sanctuary city where they will be provided with food, shelter, clothes, money, and a voter ID.

letting them in without papers turns em into slaves that can be exploited .

they cant go to police for help
the guy who drives up at home depot and says he will pay them at end of day could not pay them and they would be slave for a day.

this compasdion of letting em in isnt really compassion but exploitation

immigrants aren't slaves buddy. and blaming dems for employers who exploit immigrants isn't a valid argument.

Well of course. It's easy for someone outside the US to encourage unprotected entry into the US.
