Weak on border MAGAs should join with Democrats in funding the border.

A little too late, not going to help him with his re-election bid. Please stop lying about something we know you could have done years ago.

Just aggravating this administration…

Heh, I'm sure you guys are hoping that's the case! The same as you're hoping abortion isn't going to blow you out of the water. And the same that you're hoping your boy being a convicted felon isn't going to blow you out of the water.

Lots of hopes and prayers on the Republican side right now.

Trump on Tuesday said on his social media account that Biden has “totally surrendered our Southern Border” and that the order was “all for show” ahead of their June 27 presidential debate.

Trump is part of the problem along with his lapdog FC in Congress.

Biden and the Democrats Republicans and most of the establishment will not go after all the businesses that use cheap immigrant labor to make hefty profits, incentivizing migration powerfully.

I thought capitalists were all about incentivization?

Biden acted as Republicans sat on their hands attempting to weaponize migration as a political issue.

A presidential proclamation was needed as Republicans in Congress failed to take up a bipartisan border security deal brokered in the Senate earlier this year. That deal fell apart after Trump denounced it — cynically killing the legislation to keep migration a problem Trump could campaign on.

Absolutely false. This has nothing to do with the entire nation being bombarded by this administration senseless political open-door policies that have massively crippled the country.

The Democrats won’t the establishment Republicans to a certain degree, but the Conservatives absolutely not.

We are.

I was hearing from Biden for months that immigration problem is because of Trump... AKA LAST administration........ this was the slogan of Biden... Listen to the answers of Biden's press secretary ..... She was saying this for the last three years... to any question about immigration, inflation, crime, and even climate ... All her answer was '' LAST ADMINISTRATION''..... AKA Trump... ha ha ha ha..

Now feeling the heat.. New York is rallying behind Trump.... SO BIden changed the plate..

Any way we can accuse more criminal case against Trump?? peers bring up

Do you think independents and Trump haters will agree with you?

Or do you think they'll look at Biden's efforts at bipartisan legislation that was blocked by Trump, and see how eventually he was forced to executive orders due to Republican obstruction?

When it comes to US Politics, of late, I’m surprised that anything gets done, and with the level of “hate” expressed between supporters of both sides, I wonder how the US hasn’t fallen into another Civil War.

he’s already being sued by the ACLU for this horrible policy. Worst president ever.

The facts on immigration and border security are clear...

Last Oct, new Repub Speaker Johnson said any new aid to Ukraine had to be linked with a strong border security package...

The Repubs appointed one of their most conservative Senators to lead negotiations, Jim Lankford...

He negotiated hard and came up with one of the strongest border security packages since the first Bush 2 term...he lists all the details on his website;

“The border security bill will put a huge number of new enforcement tools in the hands of a future administration and push the current Administration to finally stop the illegal flow. The bill provides funding to build the wall, increase technology at the border, and add more detention beds, more agents, and more deportation flights. The border security bill ends the abuse of parole on our southwest border that has waived in over a million people. It dramatically changes our ambiguous asylum laws by conducting fast screenings at a higher standard of evidence, limited appeals, and fast deportation. 

“New bars to asylum eligibility will stop the criminal cartels from exploiting our currently weak immigration laws. The bill also has new emergency authorities to shut down the border when the border is overrun, new hiring authorities to quickly increase officers, and new hearing authorities to quickly apply consequences for illegal crossings. It changes our border from catch and release to detain and deport."

https://www.lankford.senate.gov/news/press-releases/lankford-releases-border-security-package-with-huge-wins-for-securing-the-border/#:~:text=The%20bill%20also%20has%20new,release%20to%20detain%20and%20deport.

But guess what....when Trump heard there will be real improvements in border security and he could no longer whine about it, he wet his pants and demanded Repubs REJECT THEIR OWN BILL - which they did. Johnson had to eat his own words and Lankford was left fuming at his own team.

The American public saw this debacle and know clearly who to blame for failure to secure the border.

Coupled with abortion and a convicted felon candidate likely campaigning from jail, it will result in a Blue Wave in Nov.

Governing is hard. Lol Joe tried as long as he could to avoid to do anything. But became too much of an election issue he is losing on.

so as Joe does, stupidly made a policy both sides hate and got sued. He’s gonna lose to a convicted felon.

How embarrassing. But at lest he can misuse power one more time and preemptively pardon his boy and friends on the way out.

Just before the election but surely this is just a coincidence?

4 ( +15 / -11 )

Nobody forced Joe to do anything. he could have continued to do nothing like over the last 3.5 years.

I wonder if the independents will take that in contrast to the Republicans blocking bipartisan border legislation that Biden actually worked on over the past 3.5 years.

I guess you guys are hoping so, right?

-1 ( +13 / -14 )

so as Joe does, stupidly made a policy both sides hate and got sued. He’s gonna lose to a convicted felon.

Or, maybe the independents will see that Biden is actively trying to find solution, while the Republicans are only obstructing them.

And Biden will win against the convicted felon. Again.

-3 ( +12 / -15 )

Gonna get a lot of hate, but both sides (republican and democrat) are bad and opportunist. Unfortunately, their managed democracy effectively prevents anyone other than those blessed by republican or democratic parties (which are both owned by corporate lobbies) from being an actual candidate, many times not even being allowed to debate with them.

Just a bunch of horse manure. Biden could have sealed the border at anytime, but he didn’t want to, he could have more importantly kept Trump’s border policies intact, he didn’t, so this is 110% all on Biden. No amount of window dressing or lipstick on a pig will change that. Biden owns this.

Joe Biden dithered, sat back, instead of confronting the issue.

The directive would also exempt migrants who arrive in what senior officials called an orderly fashion, which includes people who make appointments with border officials at ports of entry using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s CBP One app. About 1,450 appointments are made a day using the app, which launched last year.

Immigration advocates worried that Biden’s plan would only increase an already monthslong backlog of migrants waiting for an appointment through the app, especially when immigration authorities do not have an accompanying surge of funding.

It could also be difficult for border officials to implement the plan to quickly remove migrants when many agents are already tasked with helping in shelters and other humanitarian tasks, said Jennie Murray, the president of the National Immigration Forum.

This incompetence is a reaction to inaction, when positive action should have prevailed, day one

The last desperate gasp of a failed presidency?

I think it is unfair to contend that Joe Biden presidency has failed.

It is a proven fact that inaction creates an environment of hesitance, when confident leadership and conviction is essential.

The last desperate gasp of a failed presidency?

Yes, like infrastructure (remember when “Infrastructure week” was a running joke under the ffg?), student debt, jobs and employment, real wages, fighting inflation, keeping the government open and now actually doing something about the border instead of taking photo-ops and whining about it.

Some failure.

“He tried to convince us all for all this time that there was no way he could possibly fix the mess,” GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson said at a news conference. “Remember that he engineered it."

False.

In the Hobson's Choice of the US Presidential election , only one of the candidates has not employed undocumented workers.

Guess.

So why do we still have potholes all over the country?

student debt,

Congress didn’t approve anything of allowing him to shove all the payments to us.

jobs and employment, real wages,

McDonald’s is contemplating of leaving California, they just can’t afford it, you know those living wages.

fighting inflation,

Where?? it’s rising…

Consumer prices surged 8.6% last month from a year earlier, faster than April’s year-over-year increase of 8.3%, the Labor Department said Friday. The new inflation figure, the highest since 1981

keeping the government open and now actually doing something about the border instead of taking photo-ops and whining about it. 

That’s a first, he should have never gotten rid of Trump immigration policies, he’s not whining, but the average American is though.

Some failure.

Absolutely

-1 ( +12 / -13 )

The timing is interesting.

-1 ( +10 / -11 )

No world leader can sit back, poke and hope, adopt a strategy, a solution will simply materialise out of thin air.

Joe Biden presidency, a reflection of his policies on immigration, the fentanyl, law/order crisis, must be weighed up on his inaction to fully address US peoples valid concerns.

Leadership is essential in the decision making process, Joe Biden hesitance, his hum and haw political tip towing is prevalent throughout his term in office.

The other side of the coin could be Donald Trump if he is able to enact the Great Escape out of stalag Rikers Island before November.

-3 ( +7 / -10 )

Utterly pathetic and an obvious vote garnering exercise just before November to be seen to be doing something against 'un regulated immigration'.

If these fascists 'win' again, expect the floodgates to open again soon after.

Quite inconsistent with your previous claims that "Repubs now own the purse"...

And what other conservative Repubs do you believe are spreading "horse manure"?

4 ( +7 / -3 )

So basically, Biden's order "closing the border" allows 800,000 or illegals per year to enter the country and be processed as fake refugees before the government even lifts a finger to reduce the flow. Yet the media is selling it and there will be people who buy into it.

Relatively true since the Biden troops have just one single prayer , that being Joe not disintegrating completely before November. The decline is getting worse and worse. Joe's handlers should really let him enjoy that peaceful retirement already instead of selfishly making him run again. Surely there must be somebody else available in the Dems ranks who can step up against Donald. Or not?

Once this order is in effect, migrants who arrive at the border but do not express fear of returning to their home countries will be subject to immediate removal from the United States.

Yeah that will surely work, take a guess how many will "not express fear of returning" then.

Meanwhile, anyone who expresses that fear or intention to seek asylum will be screened by a U.S. asylum officer but at a higher standard than what is currently used.

Yeah ok then, problem solved.

If you can find a better example of pretending to try to close the stable door after the horse has bolted, I'd like to see it. Biden's inaction of the last 3.5 years clearly demonstrates he doesn't care a whit about illegal immigration, and this is the most half-baked attempt to show the voters he's "doing something" his handlers know won't make any real difference at all.

After the Trump verdict fiasco, the Ds are desperately trying to take the spotlight off him because his poll numbers are rising and donations for his campaign continue to flood in. Like everything else they've done since Biden took office, it'll end in miserable failure.

Facts are facts...

In 2016 Trump claimed illegal immigrants were flowing across the border - and he, and only he, could "build a wall" to prevent this - and have Mexico pay for it...

Trump was elected - and was the wall built? Did Mexico pay for it? The factual answer is crystal clear...

Trump had four years, two years with a Repub House and Senate - and was the border fixed? The answer to that is crystal clear...

What did happen in four years? The Top 1% fat cats and ultra-rich got a massive $1.9 billion tax break...and Mar-A-Lago and Bedminster employed lots of illegal maids...

We now move to 2023, Repubs appoint Jim Lankford, one of their most conservative Senators, to negotiate a border security bill - he does so and guess what - it even BUILDS THE WALL that Trump failed to do...

And then? Trump goes ballistic and orders the Repubs to kill THEIR OWN BILL and throw Lankford under the bus...

Just think about what happened just last week (Libertarian National Convention)

Trump agreed to speak at a rival party’s convention in front of a hostile audience.

A room where people had been unruly ALL DAY.

And managed to bring the room together.

Joe Biden can’t even speak in front of a controlled room of handpicked guests without screwing it up—let alone a crowd of an opposition party.

This is not a tough choice.

What does that have to do with November elections? It's only postponing the problem, so that it later strikes equally or maybe even harder. Look, there's a special arithmetic to apply here. If, for example, a daily 1000 people are denied entry for 1000 days, then you have not successfully saved the country for 1000 days, but even more increased the risks for the whole, as now , when the dam later breaks anyway , not only 1,000,000 will storm in, but 2,000,000 or even everyone available and waiting outside the borders. Without a generally working permanent solution regardless of election outcomes or party preferences, this cake is already or soon will be eaten up.

A little too late, not going to help him with his re-election bid.

you only dream, nearly every poll shows that more than half of independent voters think Trump should withdraw from his bid, cant win elections without them. we know how much maga love polls, when it suits them.

Imagine falling for the same trick TWICE in a row.....

I'll be rushing to vote for Biden because Trump is definitely bringing WW3, that orange dictator.

The world will be much more peaceful with another 4 years of Biden.

-7 ( +3 / -10 )

All the Leftist whining about Trump aside, is this a good policy? Does it provide for better safety and security and properly protect out sovereign border while following our immigration laws?

or just election nonsense to distract from a losing issue for Biden?

-5 ( +5 / -10 )

Maybe they're just not fascists and don't want a dictator. Considered that?

Yes. That is why Joe is trailing Trump.

The Libertarians hissed and booed and won't be voting for Trump. They have their candidate.

Some, people can change their minds, it the US we don't have a one-for-all all group think. Trump will get some libertarians, as to how many remains to be seen.

Some will and some won’t, they’re not a monolithic group.

I think it can be stated that Libertarians will vote 100% for their candidates. They hate Trump.

No, they won't, some will, some won't if you think we are a collective nation like that then you don't know the human mind.

-5 ( +4 / -9 )

Maybe they're just not fascists and don't want a dictator. Considered that?

no because no one actually votes against their own interests.

if you voting for Joe means his policies are not negatively affecting you personally.

such as being non American or not working, already drawing a pension or unemployment, not being draft eligible, being a Hamas/BLM/Antifa supporter, etc.

if so- nothing he does negatively affects you. But for the rest of us…….

I do know the Libertarian movement and you seem not to. Their principles are everything Trump is not. Voting for him would go against what they stand for and believe in. More likely they would vote for Biden, not Trump. And that won't happen either.

lol No. Being opposed to fascists and not wanting a dictator makes it well within one's best interest to vote for Biden and not Trump.

if you voting for Joe means his policies are not negatively affecting you personally.

Yet another confidently stated incorrect thing. It could also mean that any percieved harm caused by the Biden administration pales in comparison to the percieved harm a second disastrous Trump term.

such as being non American or not working, already drawing a pension or unemployment, not being draft eligible, being a Hamas/BLM/Antifa supporter, etc.

Lol Yes. Every supporter of Biden is either retired, unemployed, or a terrorist. Totally. You know, I wasn't a Trump fan, but you have me totally convinced. ;)

You don't know who or what I know, calm down.

Their principles are everything Trump is not. Voting for him would go against what they stand for and believe in. More likely they would vote for Biden, not Trump. And that won't happen either.

Again, some will vote for Trump, and some will not, we are all individuals and you have a choice, vote for a guy who will continue to destroy the US or get back to democracy and the Constitution.

I guarantee you they ain't voting for the guy that said "the COVID vaccine is safe and it works, and all my supporters should take it"...

Wait. I have to take YOUR word for it? Who are you? ROFL! Funny.

Uh-huh...is the COVID vaccine poison?

They'll be a whole bunch of former MAGA-warriors that won't vote for that guy trying to poison them ether...

Go ahead had think that if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Gotta hold onto something, right?

Did you get your vaccine as Trump urged you to do? If not, why not?

3 ( +6 / -3 )

I don't dream and the Libertarian votes are up for grabs, 5 months and both sides need to make their case and some will go for one or the other, but Trump will get some of those votes, as to how many is anyone's guess.

MAGA supporters will vote for Biden long before Libertarians vote for Trump. How many, zero?

Keep reminding everyone Trump is a convicted criminal, fraudster, adjudicated rapist- and is still facing charges of plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Not working so far. Shucks!!!

Of course, he also faces more election-tampering charges in Georgia-

That case won't come to trail this year or at all, so don't get your hopes up.

it's not the flex you think it is. He's an empty vessel running for revenge and to try to keep himself out of jail. The futile and frankly hilarious attempt to try to make his criminality a positive goes well with the deluded profile picture though, keep simping.

Uh-huh, well, anyway, Proud to be voting for the convicted felon.

-6 ( +3 / -9 )

All the Leftist whining about Trump aside, is this a good policy? Does it provide for better safety and security and properly protect out sovereign border while following our immigration laws?

It's not good policy. But it's worth it to take the ammo away from Republicans whom have no policy and have only been able to campaign on the border problem. Now the republicans have no policy, and can't even hammer at the Dems on the border issue, as the dems have shown they're the only ones who are serious about the border, and about running the country.

Also, sometimes you have to work with the other team, and take their issues into consideration. Good law is where neither side is very happy.

Biden once again proves himself the best president in modern history. The independents will see this.

Imagine falling for the same trick TWICE

Trump sways he’d build a wall, throw all illegals out and get rid of the debt.

Many fell for that scam.

To be fair, Trump has had a lot of practice when it comes to scamming. You will pick up the tricks of the trade

As a foreigner, do you see Biden executive order good and legal policy for America? What about for your country?

Calling him a convicted felon is the only thing the republicans are correct about.

Yes, a stable world order is good for my country.

"that’s only reason how they can support Biden........Maybe they're just not fascists and don't want a dictator."

Good example of those Biden bot hyperbole hysterics .."fascist, dictator"...geez. And then they claim that "nobody cares about Trump and he is just an afterthought." LOL. How or how will they cope when the Don becomes their POTUS next year.

In the MAGA fantasy land of flying private, running multiple companies, making millions on stocks, having multiple degrees in the sciences etc. it’s hard to accept anything on face value.

I struggle to even accept claims on their country of origin.

It’s a fantasy world.

3 1/2 years of Biden's open borders policy, now with elections, he still says come on in 2500 illegals daily.

A very poor imposter.

It's not good policy.

But it's worth it to take the ammo away from Republicans whom have no policy

so bad policy for election purposes to help Joe is better than no policy? Huh?

The MSM lies are now so bad, they expect people to believe their crap, thank God they are smarter than that.

Is this thew spin the right is trying? "Trump isn't actually a convicted felon, it's fake news"?

I'm sure the independents will believe that Qonspiracy theory. Well played.

Dead silence...says it all, doesn't it...

They can't admit the guy they love is telling them to inject what they believe is poison that will kill or make them sterile. The question causes MAGA brain freeze just like Trump had during his NRA speech...

Trump agreed to speak at a rival party’s convention in front of a hostile audience.

A room where people had been unruly ALL DAY.

And managed to bring the room together.

Yes, to boo him. They were mocking him and it clearly got deep underneath his tissue-thin skin.

“Convicted felon” lost any impact it might have had on Monday when the new news cycle started.

it’s repetitive, sad and obsolete by now already.

Heh, then you guys are going to be really, really bothered by it by November, because your team is going to have it hammered at them for months and months and months.

it was supposed to help Joe go up in the polls. It didn’t have the expected impact so the point of the term has failed.

Is this like that time you thought choosing Biden as the candidate guaranteed Trump a second term?

Trump built Trump Tower using illegal nonunion Polish workers. And then stuffed them because of course he did. 

That is his management problem, not Trump's.

Now he cares about undocumented immigrants. 

He does, they just need to be legal.
