Governor Greg Abbott signs, seals and HAND-DELIVERS letter to Biden today while at the border

Or they dressed them up real nice and paid them money to cheer at Joe as his motorcade passed by. He can't afford not to have someone cheering him on as he passes by.

 

Why should they be there. Those that live in the underground of society will not be noticed by society even if they are there. But with NYPost, I guess they were seeing any Mexican flags being portrayed. It was a calculated, controlled visit by most standards. And large crowds meant the possibility of assassination or worse.

 

Good on Speaker McCarthy for saying it straight up.

Kevin McCarthy on Twitter: "Biden is making his first border visit of his life—a photo op—while pushing for amnesty for millions of immigrants who have crossed into the US illegally. House Republicans will hold him and Mayorkas accountable for creating the most dangerous border crisis in American history." / Twitter

 

They won't and haven't.
They know the USA economy relies on those workers. But R's can't let them get legal status, it would upset those voters. Even though many of them know people or companies that use those migrant workers.

 

screw Abbot, doesn't he have some more Christmas Spirit in him, sending women and children out in the cold or something?

 

only way we change immigration law is a compromise.... is either party up for it... doubt it

Trump would not even give DACA for 25 billion for his wall

"The immigration deal Trump should've taken, but didn't"

"[All Trump] had to do was accept a 10- to 14-year path to citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States at a young age.That deal has been on the table for more than a month now: Trump gives Democrats a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers; Democrats give Trump his full $25 billion wall funding request. [...]It is confounding that Trump didn't just take the deal."

 

the house has to do that, they could not do it under the last 3 congresses, let's see if the house can reach a bipartisan deal this time

 

What stops this loud mouthed Texan Governor from doing what he reckons Biden should? It's his effing State!

 

At least, unlike the leader of his party, Abbott can write a letter that doesn't read like it is written by a 10 year old child.

 

Because he gets sued by a administration that has an unlimited cash flow that we the people pay for...
here is one example...

So how come Biden didn't do it?

 

Gee, I thought for sure it was going to be an apology for useless political hackery, grandstanding, and contributing nothing to what should be the unified cause of both parties, to work on immigration reform.

 

The BP should all start chanting "Lets Go Brandon" over and over again.

 

I think we already know they're morons so......................

 

Is this the way one should refer to those protecting our borders? As morons.

 

Then it would perfect to for them to cheer the standing Commanding Moron in Chief!

 

Biden had total control over putting end to Title 42 in early 2022

 

So, how did a sealed letter to the president end up in the internet the same day it was "hand delivered"? The letter shows Abbott is not interested in actually resolving the problem, but only in playing games with it. I mean what's the point of making show of "sealing and hand-delivering" something he was going to post in the internet anyway?

It was enforced until Nov 15, 2022 when a federal judge rules it illegal, and then Supreme Court confirmed it in Dec 27. No one has deported as many people as Biden, and its not even close.

 

didn't Trump create Title 42

 

No, Trump did not create Title 42. Trump invoked Title 42, which is a part of U.S. law. I believe Biden ended it in early 2022.

 

it was Trump's EO that activated it then, not Congress

 

What does that have to do with Biden reversing it and allowing migrants to flow into the country?

 

There was a deal in the table in 2012 (yes, over 10 yrs ago), which included a wall, and all kinds of border surveillance, and the bill passed Senate in bi-partisan manner, but when it got to the House, John "boner" Boehner refused to bring it up for debate, and the bill died in his trash-can.

They do not want to resolve the issue, because its too good of a campaigning tool.

No, it was ended by a Federal judge in Nov 2022 and again by the Supreme Court few weeks ago. You are correct in saying Trump did not create it, but simply invoked it during Covid.

 

I believe Biden admin suspended it.

• April 1, 2022: The administration announces it’s suspending the pandemic public health order that allowed officials to expel migrants swiftly at the border. The CDC says Title 42 is “no longer necessary” given current conditions

 

the courts stepped in
