Border Patrol officials interviewed hundreds of migrants bound for the US border in December to determine what was motivating them to head north – and none cited political persecution.
I seem to remember there was a bipartisan bill that made the asylum application process more strict and harder to get in under but that bill got voted down for some reason. Maybe those who are really concerned about the border situation would be frustrated with the people who voted down that bill. Maybe because of the hypocrisy.
It wasn’t the Biden administration that stopped that bill. I’m really wondering, are people ok with things unfolding like this? I can imagine someone saying, well that’s just part of the game of politics. You have to act like there’s a great calamity to motivate your voter base, find a scapegoat and try to impeach somebody. -But when an actual attempt at solution comes along, oh no, we don’t want that solved, not till after the election.
What I don’t understand is, why wouldn’t that kind of dealing lose votes?
If you are talking about the recent bill, it did little to solve anything. It was a bandaid at best.
The real solution is one neither party will support. We need a full immigration reform. If you are caught coming in illegally, you are banned for 5 or 10 years. In return, we make a it easier to get a visa to come to here to work with a path for citizenship if necessary.
Democrats are claiming they are coming here to do jobs Americans won’t do. Republicans claim they are coming illegally. If we need the labor then let them come legally. I have no qualms with immigrants, most of us come from immigrants. Just do it legally.

It wasnt bipartisan. Some rino hacks helped write that bill, thats it.
Ok my mistake, rino hacks. So it was the real actual republicans that voted against an attempt to address the crisis at the border?
