I am offended by the message Congressman Jim Banks penned relating his “solution” to the border crisis. Banks used very carefully selected calamitous examples of why immigrants are dangerous to our society. Are the examples horrific – yes. I am sure there are immigrants breaking laws every day. I am also sure that U.S. citizens commit the same crimes or worse daily. Sealing the border is NOT the solution to the question of immigration. Banks and the Republican Congress had the chance to start progress on immigration. Yet, he and his fellow Republicans failed to show the backbone to pass the bi-partisan-backed immigration measure because Donald Trump lobbied for its failure. If Trump and Banks happen to be elected, the wall will continue to be built, immigrants will continue to cross the border, and crime will not be stopped. I grew up Republican and I am sorry to say that crackpots and fearmongers have taken over the party rather than people looking for real solutions to our problems.
Republicans will never pass what they claim when it comes to immigration because it will collapse the economy. They never explain who is going to do the work … or how we are going to deal with the economic shock of losing millions of workers and the resulting wage growth. You think inflation was bad under Biden? Wait until Trump, bankruptcy expert that he is, has his turn with the double whammy of reducing the workforce and implementing tariffs that will be paid by consumers.
As Jack points out, it’s more convenient to them to be another campaign tactic. The last two years of Republican “leadership” in the House have shown that today’s GOP is a fraud. I don’t think they can all agree that the day ends in Y, much less lead.
By all means gentlemen, let’s error on the side of the sex trafficers, drug cartels and terrorists and ignore border security altogether. It was never just about the wall, that’s just a red herring the Left loves to trot out. Trump had border secutiry under control and had Congress supported finishing putting in the processes and systems, including the wall it would look MUCH better than it does now. Deny it if you want, you’re just blinded by ideology or hate if you can’t see it. Both parties are to blame for sure, big business wants the cheap labor, and the Dems want their votes (so now you’re going to tell me these folks aren’t registering? LOL). May there be a pox on both their houses.
Trump had things so under control that he took kids away from their parents and no one has been able to put the families back together yet… and it was no big deal. Remind yourself of that the next time some “Christian Republican” tells you about the importance of families …
Wayne, Republicans had the border changes they wanted in their grasp and they voted against them because Trump told them to. That tells me it’s not about illegal immigration whatsoever, it’s solely about keeping people like you riled up, blinded by ideology and hate with yet another wedge issue. Just like some folks still think Trump has more than “the concepts of a plan” to repeal and replace Obamacare …
A country that does not control its borders, will lose its sovereignty!
The laws to protect our borders are already in place and needs a Congress (yes you Mr. Banks) to force the Executive branch to enforce the existing laws.
