James Talarico : My family is from the border. My mom grew up in Laredo, Texas.

Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. We can welcome immigrants who want to live the American dream.

We can build a pathway to citizenship for those neighbors who have been here, making us richer and stronger. And we can keep out people who mean to do us harm.

I know that some Texans have become a bit wobbly recently, but when the real Texans go to the ballot box in November, Talerico will find out Biden’s giant welcome mat has been removed and never to be replaced.

but only Criminals and Thieves show up

[MarlonRando]

why a welcome mat? Why not a pitbull

[Theodore R.]

I hope the Texans will not fall for the charlatan named Talarico or Crockett eiter, but there are millions of hard-core leftists in the largest cities of Texas, and they are dedicated to spreading communism.

James Talarico (D) Dumbass.

[allendale]

Talarico is an idiot. Stupid analogy. You are welcome to come on the porch but the front door is securely locked.If you try to barge in and take things,there is a gun ready to great you.

He’s free to move to other side of the border if he wants

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

My mat says “Come back with a Warrant”.

[ansel12]

Legal or illegal. when you are importing millions and tens of millions of what is still the same peoples, that little detail doesn’t matter so much, which is obvious from recent decades, we need to end immigration and try to salvage what little remnants of America that we can.

America of 1970 is gone forever but we can at least try to maintain some influence over what we will be in the future, and the only way to do that is to stop the flow and work on what is already here today.

[Jeff Chandler]

Wrong. We need a 20 year moratorium on all immigration.

Snickering in hound

[cowboyusa]

Good, he’s done.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Well Sonny. You should get off your commie ass, get a job, earn some money and build your porch. That would be a nice place to keep all the drugs they bring you. Idiot. “Illegal alien infants are more patriotic than American infants.” You are definitely a major league retarded gay boy. Geez. I can’t believe somebody running for office in the US actually said that. Sick bass turd.

[Mariner]

We need to freeze all immigration for at least a decade.

All of it.

[grey_whiskers]

100 years.

[No name given]

Agreed.

[No name given]

I’m with you on this one.
