... For many in the congressional delegation — organized by the conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC) and its chairman, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) — this represented their first visit to the southern border.

For some, it was a frustrating experience given how easy it was for the migrants to cross the Rio Grande and walk right across the border, but also one full of emotion as lawmakers inquired about the children’s names, ages and personal stories.

One unaccompanied 8-year-old Honduran boy, sporting a blue shirt and black pants, was discovered on the side of the road by two teenage migrant girls; they brought him to La Joya in hopes that he can reconnect with his mother and brother who live in the U.S.

Whatever...it’s a game both sides play.

A little show for us idiots out here, we just need to send the RNC some more money and then they can fix things.

Sniffling with hanky in one hand and stuffing corporate money in their pockets with the other.

***************

Being evil takes some degree of intelligence, an ability to focus on objectives, and the drive to achieve them. The GOP can’t be evil because it has none of these qualities. ;)

I want secure borders as well. But chamber of commerce wants cheap labor. They have more influence on politicians than me and you.

This is the same policy preference as Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama, the GOP House and Senate leadership and a majority of GOP officeholders.

Too damn late I heard 1 million have already crossed the border since 2020. Newsmax showed a family that had just crossed the border with a mother in tow who was easily over 70 years old and my first thought was who was going to supply for her medical needs etc. Here I am having medical issues and I have to fork over money every time I see the doctor because those options to receive Medicaid etc are not there for me yet, yet all those goodies for the invaders will be given to them on the spot. Gosh this is all so unfair to our kids, us and the American people etc. I am so pissed off and fuming that this crap is being pushed down our freaking throats. And there ain’t nothing we can do about it. How do you deport over 1 million people?... you can’t we’re stuck with them.

Oh, for an idiotic moment, I thought they were crying for America at seeing the third world horde flooding across the border.
