With their heads lodged up #Trump's stinky dumper, #Republicans continue to push for the stupid #borderWall. This is a politically-conceived project for political gain. It has nothing to do with effective #borderSecurity. It wasn't devised by security professionals who understand the needs, and potential solutions for improving security. No actual security professionals would suggest such a stupid endeavor. The wall would be a monument to Trump, nothing more.
In the Republican response to Biden's #StateOfTheUnion address, Senator #KatieBritt told a heart-wrenching story about a woman who was a survivor of cross-border sex trafficking, and tried to blame that horrible crime on Biden.
The "immigration crisis" is what Republicans are keeping around to try to trick people into voting for them. Just like Trump's first term, they won't actually do anything to address this problem that they keep screaming about!
"The TRUTH about #BorderSecurity and America's Broken Immigration System" #JakeBroe
Jan 27, 2024
America's #immigration system is broken and thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing the #border into the United States every day. #Republicans say they want to secure the border, but they would have to find a way to work with #Democrats and the #WhiteHouse to accomplish this. In this video I am going to explain why America's immigration system is deliberately broken and will remain that way and who benefits from #illegalmigrants workers entering the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkDZNjWovXw
Every time I hear someone go on about "border security" I'm going to post this video of me pushing open a "gate" cut by cartels in the border fence; a fence that cost billions of dollars and is easily defeated by cheap cordless cutting tools.
There are two ways to have a secure border: place groups of soldiers in fortified bunkers every 100' along the entire length of the fence 24/7 (no, don't do this), or by helping to stabilize the economic and security situations in the countries people are arriving from while also having a humane and easy to navigate immigration policy.
Many of the people coming here in hopes of asylum are arriving from countries with a history of U.S. support for dictators (e.g. Honduras, Nicaragua) or as direct or indirect climate refugees. Given that the U.S. is the second largest greenhouse gas emitter (and, I believe, the largest per capita), we legitimately owe these people safe harbor.
Republicans pretend to be champions for a secure southern border, and routinely claim that Biden and the Democrats want "open borders", but back on Earth it's Joe Biden who's actually working to secure the border, and improve our immigration system.
