So my question goes back to why all this outrage didn’t happen closer to 9-11? THAT is when they should have SHUT DOWN ALL of the borders.
The timing of this thing is really odd.
The focus at that point was on Afghanistan....then Iraq...etc...
The goal was to keep fighting them elsewhere- not here, and to bring democracy to the middle east....democracies don’t usually go to war.....unless prompted to...
I also believe that there is no way that this kind of bill would have seen light of day with The Hammer from Texas as Speaker of the House.......
Sometimes we have to take it when we can get it. Better now than never.
Problem is that even when Fed. law to build a fence is passed and funded there is still no guarantee that it will ever be built,maybe we have too many lawyers in congress.
That's why the locals will eventually solve immigration debacle one small town/city at a time.
I think when 9-11 happened, any person in their right mind figured that for sure the government WOULD close down the borders immediately - it was absolutely the thing to do. It’s become apparent since then that the borders haven’t been shut down, enough time has elapsed that if the government had the will to do it, they’ve had the opportunity, and now, with this bill, the border will never be effectively shut down. Just as it took an attack on our home shores (after how many attacks that weren’t at home - Cole, embassies, etc.) to more or less wake us up, it’s taken being SLAPPED IN THE FACE by this horrible bill for people to start waking up, standing up and speaking up. Timing of the outrage makes sense to me.
