ENFORCE the existing law

It would help, but existing laws allow populations from ENTIRE countries to claim asylum in the US.

“Why do we conflate two disparate ideas.
Our border needs to be secured and our illegals deported. it has nothing to do with any other country.”

Well, the constitution established a bicameral legislative system; thus, there has to be some kind of agreement between the two houses of Congress. It is basically a “you scratch my back; I’ll scratch your back” arrangement. As the old adage says: You don’t want to know how sausage is made or how laws are made.

Do you have a problem with a bicameral system? I think it was a wise inclusion in our constitution: No one house has complete power.

Yes, and how about not funding anything and shut down the damned feds when this current CR runs out shortly, it is all printed money anyway. However the GOPe/deep state won’t stand for it, the younger generations have no idea what is being done to them.

Watch out for the Turtle and Schmuck in the Senate. They will say BOO and Repubs in the House will pee their pants!

Johnson is fighting it’s just that too many of his teammates are cowards.

It’s about time, even though I share the skepticism, I’m willing to hold judgment. It is well past time for a GOP leader to face down Biden mano a mano on the border. Let’s see what happens.

Not one *amn dime more for Ukraine, what part of NO don’t we understand.

Like Congressman Massie was saying to Tucker hours ago we’ve sent Ukraine twice as much as we spend on roads and bridges in the US in a year.

And once the war is over we’ll be asked to send money to Ukraine to repair all the roads and bridges destroyed during the war.

The USA 33 trillion in the hole ain’t got no more money honey.

The problem is Ukraine get the money and weapons now, and the border gets secured sometime in the future.

Tell them Ukraine gets the money once the Wall is built, and there will be speed of construction that hasn’t happened since WW2.

There are ways for a girl like you to kick in on a personal basis. I’m sure Zelensky will thank you.


Are they all women ?

What about Williams and Ancell12 ?

“Why do we conflate two disparate ideas?”

It’s called “leverage”. Look into it.

The Founders only made one gigantic mistake in forging the Constitution, The Great Compromise. However little did they know that the senate would be someday controlled by a political party these past decades (the uniparty the last few generations) rather than each state - and of course the 17th Amendment sending our country into socialism and now communism at least when it comes to the feds.
