    And many would say Russian aggression ALSO impacts our collective national security and safety. Now I would PREFER stand alone bills, but
    we know that BOTH parties spend their days adding crap to each and every bill that doesn't belong there - so let's I've in the land of
    reality. Congress finally had bill that could be passed and signed that addressed BOTH issues - and fat assed moron Trump scuttled it because he didn't
    want even the slightest hint of a "win" for Biden. And now, Republicans are going to hold out until Trump gets elected (maybe a 50/50 proposition at
    best) and there is no guarantee that Republicans will hold the House - so we could easily end up with 5 years of NO attempt to solve the border problem
    because of this whole bull crap "us vs them" team sport politics.

    Anyone who belongs to a political party should be deported before we even start on the illegals - they are the REAL danger to America.

    Optimism or simply ignoring history! The closest this country has gotten to border security was under Reagan and the DNC lied their ass's off and then reneged on the deal..

    In fact, the rules STILL apply today and STILL the DNC fails to enforce them ;) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    How does addressing the immigration system negatively impact our national security? Also considering it aids two of our allies for our benefit it is a win win situation for everyone

    The senate was hammering out a negotiated bipartisan bill that would deal with border security.
    All Biden said is that he will sign it if congress sends it to him.
    How is that threatening them???

    Speaking of land of stupid, how about censuring your own state Senator for having TALKS with Democrats.... His effort hasn't even hit the Senate floor yet, which means he's probably the only Oklahoman who's even read whatever has been agreed to....

    I mean, negotiating to solve issues is sorta why he's there, isn't it??

    SNIP
    The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution on Saturday condemning and censuring Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) for his role as a chief negotiator in the Senate border security talks between Democrats and Republicans.

    The resolution, a copy of which was posted on X by state Sen. Dusty Deevers said, “Senator Lankford playing fast and loose with Democrats on our border policy not only disfranchises legal immigrants seeking citizenship but it also puts the safety and security of Americans in great danger.”

    “It is interesting, Republicans, four months ago, would not give funding for Ukraine, for Israel and for our southern border because we demanded changes in policy. So, we actually locked arms together and said, we’re not going to give money for this. We want a change in law,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”

    And now, it’s interesting, a few months later, when we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, oh, just kidding, I actually don’t want a change in law because of presidential election year,” he added.
    ENDSNIP

    FFS... At least wait until his effort becomes law....

    Maybe MTG is correct?? You cannot run a country with people like this...

    Not one of those EO's are the cause of immigrants coming over the border. In fact, except for two of them, they address people that are already here. On the other 2, one is getting rid of a terrible Trump policy and the other is to not waste money on a stupid wall ( for reference, a wall did nothing to stop Hamas on Oct 7)

    Another reason I don't give much credit to Condor60

    How about we put that money to use stabilizing our own country and tell them to start carrying their own weight? I assure you the vast majority of Americans would be good with that.

    "ensure our laws are faithfully executed" takes Biden out. It's worse than incompetence, it's intentional.
    Apparently, you don't equate protecting the border with the law to be enforced. Most people understand it IS an invasion.
    Read the Oath. It's not negotiable. You don't bargain with your duty and use it as a playing chip.

    If you can tell your self those are comparable, sending you out for a loaf of bread could be a fatal mistake.

    So you are fine with Putin taking over the Ukraine?

    And the money allocated to the Ukraine is spent in the US, they aren’t getting blank checks, rather equipment made in the US

    Because he tied it to Ukraine funding. Ukraine funding is negotiable. Border enforcement is not. Biden is already in violation of immigration laws and his duty right now. One estimate was at least 18 million counts could be brought on that so far. Read the law, it's true.

    Which words don't you understand? Tell me and I'll help.

    Or do you just disagree, and can't find a way to make a case for it?

    You are aware that the majority of immigrants coming into the US are actually those declaring refugee status and entering thru official points of entry? According to the law you think Biden doesn’t enforce they are allowed in till they get a hearing, which with the current antiquated immigration system, could take up to two years

    Currently well over 100 billion in funding.
    How many more proxy wars do you think that we should engage in and how many hundreds of billions do you think it should cost the United States taxpayer?

    How do you manage to get it so backwards?
    He's telling us that he can be bribed and bought and he's blackmailing American citizens with their own tax dollars but of course Joe Biden being bribed and bought with money is nothing new

    No, you are right, one is a promise the person never intended to complete, and, the other, a commitment we don’t if that person will complete

    The money we will cost to stop Putin if he takes the Ukraine will be a lot more
