On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Jose Diaz-Balart Reports,” Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) argued that “with the exception of family separation, virtually all Trump border policies are still in place today.” And things on the border have gotten worse because of Republican policies.
Escobar stated, “Republicans continue to complain that they want Trump policies reinstated. The fact of the matter is, Jose, with the exception of family separation, virtually all Trump border policies are still in place today. And not only are we not seeing a slowdown in migration, not only are we [not] seeing things — a more orderly process at the border, but we’re actually seeing the opposite. Why is that? Well, I have talked to my community at great length. I published an op-ed in this past Sunday’s El Paso Times, saying that really what we are seeing at the border is a result of Republican strategy, which is, for the last few decades, Republicans want to address immigration only at the border. They refuse to open up legal pathways. They refuse to do their job and legislate around immigration. In fact, Jose, as you and I have talked about, the last time Congress acted on immigration was almost 30 years ago. And 30 years ago, what happened was Congress passed and then-President Clinton signed, limiting legal pathways. So, we have gone in the opposite direction. We’ve gone in the Republican direction, limiting legal pathways and border-only policies. That is a failure. And that’s why we’re seeing what we’re seeing today at the border.”

Virtually all Trump border policies are still in place today,
BS special from a democrat how did 5.5 million illegals enter the country in just 22 months.
3 key differences there, plus Biden turned on the welcome light that Trump had extinguished.
Say, Veronica, did you ever see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?
Virtually all? OK,fair enough. But one we *don’t* have is that we build a wall and defend it....and those who manage to get over it are sent home within hours.
1. Wrong. I am perfectly willing to deport illegals from anywhere in the country, not just at the border.
2. Maybe, just maybe, the Republican reluctance to handle the "legal pathways" is all the times our representatives agreed to "amnesty today, border control tomorrow" which amounted to "amnesty for far more than the predicted numbers, border control never". Limit the border crossing now and maybe we can consider what to do with the illegals already here. You don't mop the floors and replace the drywall when the broken pipe is still gushing water.
They know it's a lie and they know that we know.
They are speaking to the NPR listeners who will eat it up.
People know what they see in their lives: Trump-time good; Brandon-time bad. All these things politicians say are just noise. I have voted Republican my entire life, except in 1976. Gerald Ford was President at a time of sky high inflation, so I voted for Peanut Carter.
Maybe they are “ in place. “ They aren’t enforced.
The scary thing is that she probably actually believes that. Such is the power big media (See Tagline.)

Facts and logic have no place in the Liberal mind.

Other than that, she would have enjoyed Our American Cousin.
A democrat LYING,
PAR FOR THE COURSE.
