    So......they are building a National Guard base, and they just prefer to call it "military base"?

    :rolleyes: Nothing like seeing an actual racist statement to start the day.

    Btw...you did know that there are more black Christians than white Christians?

    I doubt there there will be a military base. This is another right wing gimmick designed to play to the chest thumping mexihate crowd.

    And Texas has no authority under the Constitution to raise a state army unless it’s the militia (read National Guard).

    And why was a "border deal" needed at this time?
    If you want to get things done, work at it, else you can continue with your conspiracies. :)

    What’s the saying “screw me once…. “. You think Dems are going to be HONEST? They were liars back then. They tossed FOREIGN AID into a border bill? WTF was that? A border bill shouid be ONLY about the border and that’s it. Then they blame Republicans for the border crisis because they don’t want more pork and waste on something that is supposed to close the border down??? Cmon man:)

    Oh lord. It was a bipartisan bill that included border security which the Democrats failed to follow through on which is why Republicans will not agree to another comprehensive immigration bill.

    Reagan wanted to secure the border while Democrats wanted amnesty. Democrats got their amnesty but did not reciprocate by securing the border. This is why Republicans refuse to agree to another comprehensive immigration bill. It’s time Democrats honor their promise to secure the border.

    No they are NOT inviting them!!! They have been pointing out how easy it is to get in with Biden in office.

    Joe Biden is the one who did that!

    Biden in 2019: The Fact
    A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.

    The race card is pre-empted by the Communist Chinese invaders whom you fail to mention. It was never about race.....find another card.

    Nice try, but you're either stupid and don't know better, or you're a liar. You choose.


    Republicans DO NOT announce to the third-world, that once in office, there should be an immediate "surge to the border".

    Republicans DO NOT suspend border wall construction.

    Republicans DO NOT end all border security measures that were helping, and at least not throwing out a red carpet like Democrats do.

    Republicans DO NOT create sanctuary cities, that attract illegals.

    Republicans DO NOT announce (like in California) that they will provide free healthcare to illegals.

    Republicans DO NOT give illegals a taxpayer funded income.

    Biden set the table, and now the third-world is eating as never before!!

    sounds like you're the "stupid" one if you believe all that

    Trump turned down the money for the wall Dems offered him....

    Democrats are the ones who attract these people, and they are the ones who work to keep them here.

    In 2019 at the very first Democrat presidential debate, an MSDNC host asked the question, who on the stage were in favor of providing free healthcare to illegals. ALL TEN candidates raised their hands!

    Republicans don't do **** like this, and you are an idiot if you're unable to see it!

    Reagan left office in 1989. That's 34 years ago. It's quite a stretch to go back that far.

    As I remember it, that was a compromise bill that gave people amnesty in exchange for tightening border security. Reagan kept his end of deal. Subsequent presidents, led by Biden, have not.

    So new you are giving us credit for letting all the migrants in. I thought that was one of the policies of your party. Don't you want to take credit so that you will get all of the migrant vote?

    I'm confused. :cynic:

    Which Republicans have been "teaching them loopholes in the law to stay here"?

    As for "shouting to the world", they've certainly been "shouting" that Biden has ended border wall construction, and relaxed rules that make it easier for these people to flood in!

    Like I've been saying: Republicans DO NOT announce to the third-world, that once in office, there should be an immediate "surge to the border".

    Republicans DO NOT suspend border wall construction.

    Republicans DO NOT end all border security measures that were helping, and at least not throwing out a red carpet like Democrats do.

    Republicans DO NOT create sanctuary cities, that attract illegals.
