    Well, your chart does show clearly that we've got an emergency crisis situation on our hands with out-of-control "migrant" issues. This latest crisis exists NOW. Joe Biden is president NOW. Who can issue an Executive Order at the federal level but the president? A month after he took over, Biden appointed Kamala-la-la as some kind of new "Border Czar" (Czarina?), ostensibly with extraordinary powers -- whereupon she did NOTHING! Then, three years ago, he put Alejandro Mayorkas in as Homeland Security Secretary -- whereupon he did NOTHING! Who is going to do SOMETHING?!

    You mention the long history of this tragedy, and so I'll remind you that President Ronald Reagan worked with Democrats in the Congress to overhaul immigration significantly from top to bottom -- and what did Democrats do...? They reneged on the deal they had agreed to, making liars out of themselves while they betrayed Reagan and every legitimate, taxpaying citizen of the United States! And today's 'woke' Democrats are even less trustworthy than that pack of jackals were back in the 1980's who betrayed Reagan! So, again, who is going to do SOMETHING?!

    That is newsworthy... I didn't know 850k ILLEGAL immigrants/year is the 'acceptable level' to MAGA...

    Well, we finally have a baseline target to shoot for.

    Call it the Trump Line (in honor of baseballs Mendoza Line)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendo... Line is baseball,his nine big league seasons.

    you love EO so much
    I think Joe Biden should issue EO and make all undocumented immigrant in USA US Citizen. Joe Biden should give another EO and open up border and tell more migrant to come to America, and come fast so Joe Biden can give them US citizen.




    FYI - I am against any EO.

    Sometimes a well thought-out EO is the only way left for us to get anything DONE. Congress won't do it, so, again I ask you, who will do anything to stop this invasion?

    One rhetorical question: if millions of cockroaches invade your home and eat everything in your kitchen, what are YOU going to eat?

    Yeah, and it would probably be about as effective as the Maginot Line.... :roflol: Trump talked a lot about 'fixing the border', and he had the first two largely-unobstructed years of his presidency to do it... but when all the music died down and the microphones were turned off, Trump did next to nothing to solve anything!

    It's so simple. Very briefly, you seal the border shut to all migration for an emergency national-security period, put troops on the border to keep anyone from crossing who isn't already an American citizen (and can PROVE it), and that's about it. Oh, you can go on for post after post after post (as I already have), but that's basically it. If someone would do at least that much for a few years, the problems would stop!

    How lovely that you compare poor, hungry, people without hope / undocumented immigrant to cockroaches. I am honored to know you.

    Just for giggles, how many troops do you estimate you would need to cover Brownsville to San Diego? Sitting there all day doing essentially notthing, except getting sunburnt?

    The important statistic would be how many of those 129,444 were deported.

    upload_2024-1-29_12-37-14.png
    In 2019 850 thousand undocumented apprehended in US border by Trump administration, 267 thousand were deported.

    As I have been saying “ Trump is for open border”

    and why didn't Trump deport all 850K in 2019?

    Roving ground-based serveillance platoons supported by aerial reconnaissance drones. They would move back and forth along the border unpredictably. It wouldn't take all that many troops to be very effective!

    Yeah, yeah, but you didn't answer my question. If the "cockroaches" move in and use up YOUR resources, what do you do? Nothing? If so, then get elected to our ****ed-up Congress, because you would fit right in with most of the negligent bastards in BOTH political parties!

    You've touched on a key area of criticism that many 'fat-cat' Republicans deserve! It's been a poorly-kept secret that wealthy business owners really love having access to a cheap labor pool, whether it's legal or not. Beginning back as far as World War II, they hired as many illegals as they could to do many kinds of jobs that involved little more than manual labor... and the costs were very low compared with hiring American citizens. Many were simply paid "under the table", with no records kept and no taxes paid.

    That practice has continued to this day!

    That's it! That is the way to get things done, by different individuals making suggestions, brainstorming if you will, and collecting those thoughts, eventually coming up with a legislated solution through cooperation and discussion, and some negotiation.
    Bravo! Now see if you can convince these legislators in Washington to follow your lead!
    Btw, I like your thinking! A wall will not do it, but, imo, there are much more effective technological advanced ways to hinder illegal crossings.
    If we can just get Congress to work together for solutions without playing the partisan politics game.
    I do not believe we will ever get illegal immigration down to zero, but there sure seems to plenty of room for improvement.
