    Nope, most illegals report that they hear 'open borders' from Republicans (which is a blatant lie) so it encourages them to cross. Republicans also want cheap labor AND votes since Latino votes have been trending Republican last few election cycles. And don't forget Republicans were completely against last border bill just so they could 'own the libs.' The border issue is 99% the fault of Republicans.

    What ?

    Perhaps it would be honest of you to admit that you have no idea what was in that bill.

    You keep acting like Republicans were not going to do like they have been doing and it’s the Democrats fault that republicans have no respect for rule of law.

    Ok bro

    Expected false response.
    Trump was and is a clear and present danger to the US. He was clearly guilty of both impeachment charges.
    The case that was just voted on never proved anything

    Trump was acquitted of both impeachment charges by the grownups in the room…

    It's yet another longstanding norm that Democrats have broken. They've been pretty vocal about Trump and republicans breaking norms, but from where I stand, they are as guilty as anyone. I guess we know how the pubs will react to the next Trump impeachment. Whatever relevance impeachment still had, it will have even less now. Democrat reps are like children.

    The same "grown ups" that did nothing about his insurrection and now endorse the clown as the Presidential candidate.

    Exactly!!! They (the Trump R's ) have no room to complain about the border now , without embarrassing themselves. And it was not done for purely pollical motives to help Trump. When ONE Sociopath is more important than the country.........there i s a BIG problem.

    Indeed. And the MAGA Rs continue to whine about how bad thigs are at the border but take no responsibility for killing the bill that would have begun to resolve that issue.
    They chose TRUMP over what is best for the country. That is problematic.. THEY are part of the border problem now. Their whiniing about the border and blaming Biiden is as empty as they are.
    They don't care about the border. They just want to follow whatever their dear leader dictates.

    Ahhh and once again either a biased NPR or a young writer who has never read the Constitution. Mayorkis, like Clinton and Trump, remains impeached. That does not go away. The Senate just said they would not remove him from office for the offenses. Their only judgement is remove or not remove.

    Congress oversees cabinet secretaries unlike Presidents. Those cabinet officers must be confirmed by the Senate and are subject to congressional oversight. When one refuses to uphold the law and do the job he is mandated to do that under the language of the Constitution a misbehavior, misdemeanor, offense and if the President does not act then they have impeachment in order to do so and withdraw their consent. This is not about policy this is about enforcing the law and protecting our national security. AND on top of that he has given conflicting testimony and refuses to supply the committees with the information demanded.

    Not what the Senate decides in an impeachment you know that, even you harp on Trump being an impeached President and was not exonerated in both of his impeachments.

    With the current state of our Southern border, the number of young Chinese males that have illegally entered since the beginning of the year is approaching 30,000.............30,000. We could have over 100,000 untrackable Chinese males in our country by the end of the year not counting last years.

    Why is Mayorkis still in office and why doesn't this administration show at least SOME concern about it?

    It would not have resolved the issue it would have made it worse, there is NOTHING stopping Biden from shutting down the border crossings instead he and Mayorkis are facilitating them and fighting against the states trying to stop them.

    The PROPER bill to do so was passed almost 10 months ago why is Biden whining about a bill when there has been one awaiting Schumer passing it and sending it to the White House, they could do it tomorrow. He won't he put it to committee, just like this impeachment they do not want to stop it. 30,000 young male Chinese, unaccountable just since the first of the year be damned.

    Trump has only closed the border once, in March 2020, to counter COVID.

    That didn't last long.

    He never built his wall either.... and Mexico didn't pay a dime.

    Wow ya'll don't remember the Trump Senate trials. There's a new drug out there Prevagen, might give it a whirl, see if it improves because they both were multiple days with house wacko's presenting their "solid" evidence.

    No I act like you now have opened yet another door, just like when ole Harry pulled the nuclear option on judges. You've changed precedence and both sides will forever use it on impeachment when they can. It was a dumb move because lefties love to impeach them some Trump and there's a dang good chance, he'll be the President next year and the republicans should win back the Senate based on how many dems have to defend their seat this year.
    You're a smart guy, they decided it was better to break precedence then let all this come out and drag on about border failures. Schumer disregarded long-term ramifications for short term gain.

    Chuckie Schumer didn’t want any substantive debate on the Biden puppet administration open border policy. I hope this vote costs the Democrats in the contested Senate races. If you oppose open borders, you can’t vote for a Democrat, unless it’s Fetterman who has made reasonable statements.

    “Lefties” did not impeach trump

    A tri-partisan consensus of Democrats, Republicans and Independents did.

    Republicans have been weaponizing everything they could since Obama. Those judicial picks that you identified was done because Republicans were refusing to even hear judges across the nation leaving seats vacant. It occurred because Republicans were not doing their job. Just like with the USSC seat, that happened because Republicans politicians crave power even if they have to lie cheat and steal in elections.

    I do hope one thing comes from this — I hope Democrats realize they are not up against an opponent acting in good faith and respond accordingly.

    Good god Democrats impeached Trump. You talk about weaponizing, yet we all watch your DOJ throwing opponents in jail that lied to them or congress, then when their own does it, they don't even bother charging them. We see your side making charges up on Trump weekly for the most frivolous stuff they can find, even ran on getting Trump before they even knew there was something to find. We've seen your judges gag a freaking defendant in America. What kind of Banana republic do you guys want for the love of god that's not American? We saw Harry invoke the Nuclear option on judges and now the republican use it. Now we see them break precedent and do this and republicans will use it. Sorry you don't get to play we can do it but you can't.

    again, the impeachment should be killed because a Democrat majority means the folks want open borders. Spin all you want. It is what it is.

    If the folks really want the rule of law, they will vote out the Democrat majority.
