    He’s wrong. There are still stranded Americans. Like the current administration he just doesn’t care about citizens over illegals

    And what will this country be like by then? Will we even have a country in 2024? We are on track for 6 million illegals before the money offer. Now the entirety of South America could be headed here.
    Hell I’m going to jump the border, just to turn around and jump back over for the money!

    But how many of those people are "stranded"? Sounds like about zero

    SNIP
    "In terms of how many American citizens we estimate are currently in Afghanistan, the Department of State is in contact with 196 American citizens who are ready to depart –and arrangements are being made for them to do so, either via air or over ground – and another 243 American citizens have been contacted and are not ready to depart, either because they want to stay in Afghanistan or aren’t ready," Kahl said.
    ENDSNIP

    LOL... if you aren't "ready" to depart by now, I'd say it's unlikely you have any intention of departing... maybe the trick or treating is better over there?

    Where did I say I approved of those posts?.... I just said they are about T**** border topics, which is certainly an issue in this thread.

    Sure, T**** is brought up in situations where he has no business (like the White House), but that's not the case here....

    If you are going to jump in late, jump in informed...

    Don’t blame Biden. Blame the American civil justice system.

    So the ones that have not been contacted are just a wash? Maybe they’re dead for all we know. Or how about those still there that they have contacted? The lie that the military will not leave until all that want out get out still remains a lie. You may think this is LOL FUNNY most Americans don’t

    Who hasn't been contacted? Everybody in your list of 400+ HAS been contacted...

    If you didn't register (with contact information) with the State Department, how do you expect them to contact those people (if any actually exist)??

    Talk about a high bar.... I suppose Republicans could have used that ESPN they are famous for...

    Sounds like a bargain. The recipients will not only vote democrat when they get their path to citizenship but they will get others to do the same enthusiastically. It could result in hundreds of votes. What's a few hundred million anyway when we spend trillions?

    Biden wants to give illegal immigrants $450k for their “hard ship” after he cut HBCU funding.

    I agree they deserve to be treated humanely, but the # is way too high. I can see some compensation, but that # is too much.

    If I enter your home illegally and get arrested, how much do I get for being separated from my family? Sorry, but incentivizing illegal entry with cash only increases the extreme levels of suffering. Don't forget, they owe a debt to the cartels for the right to pass through.

    Do you believe strengthen the cartels grip on society benefits humanity?

    WE are also now on the hook to pay the families of the 9 shot and killed and the 5 wounded by Dylan Roof in the Charleston S.C. gun massacre $88 MILLION . The amount a jury awarded to them because of a clerical error in paperwork which allowed Dylan Roof to be able to legally buy guns and ammo. We need serious updates to our gun laws so that drug abusers and psychos cannot legally buy guns and ammo.

    Dude breaks into my home with his kids. I catch him, call the police, they arrest and jail him. He gets $450,000, as do his family members up to $1,000,000, for being separated from each other.

    Do I have this right?

    196 + 243 = 439… That leaves 11 they know about that have not been contacted. That may be a small number to you but for those who believe every citizen matters it’s not.

    Suddenly, "UNEXPECTEDLY", hoards of new illegal immigrants are swarming the boarding with their children hit the U.S.A. in November.

    Who could have seen this coming?

    4: Keep them together as they present and disclaim all responsibility for the abuse that will surely occur. Deport them both.

    Did it ever occur to you that the Faux News Headline "nearly 450" (not a direct quote from the Pentagon) would actually be 439?

    Touché, thanks for that slap in the face lol. The fact still remains they have not gotten all of them out as you previously claimed. It also remains that they don’t know how many are actually there being he didn’t keep his promise we may never truly know either.

    Yes. Biden must be impeached or taken out of office somehow. Biden is breaking our laws and enticing these aliens to do the same. This is even a bridge too far for most Democrats.

    Pay no attention to those who revert to "Trump." They simply have no sensible argument.

    If the 2020 election was not fraudulent, then every Democrat voter needs to be held responsible for the ruining of our country. They can't have it both ways. Elections have consequences.

    Dems have nothing but poorly thought out irrational deflection from the idiot they put in office. Meanwhile Trump outperformed Obama and Biden yet they irrationally hate the guy.
