Border security first up for GOP after likely House win, McCarthy says
NY Post ^ | 11/07/2022 | Mark Moore

Legislation meant to control the migration crisis at the US-Mexico border will be first on the agenda if Republicans win back the House of Representatives this week, GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday.

​​“The first thing you’ll see is a bill to control the border first,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told CNN in an interview. “You’ve got to get control over the border. You’ve had almost 2 million people just this year alone coming across.”

President Biden has been criticized for rolling back many of the hardline immigration and border policies of former President Donald Trump upon taking office in January 2021.

Those moves, critics say, triggered a run on the frontier that culminated in more than 2 million arrests of illegal border-crossers in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, according to figures from US Customs and Border Protection.

Bull Shiite !! Even if a bill that could curtail the third-world invasion of the USA were to get passed by the Senate, if there is any money for the wall or any effective border security, Xiden will veto it. And while we maybe could cobble together a 2/3s House override, there are not 20 D senators (assuming 53-47) willing to commit political suicide by joining in an override.

Still, if we don’t try, we will most assuredly not succeed.

You put wall money into another bill that Biden cannot veto. Also XL pipeline money. Money for every project Biden stopped. You take out money for IRS agents and other Maoist plans Biden loves.

I wonder how this guy McCarthy is going to get Biden to sign the bill. Easier said than done.

If you don’t have the senate and both in a veto proof level, this is posturing.

Stop the Fed budget. Starve the beast at all levels and every dept, including the military; until America gets what it needs.

If you do not do that first thing, you must be identifying as a gurl.

“They also had control of the House when Bush was President.”

I read that from Bush on there are powerful organizations and people that want to combine the U.S., Mexico and Canada and maybe all of Central America into a single country, and that’s why the border is intentionally being ignored by this administration.

"Then why did you not help Trump with the border when he was in office Kevin?? Spare me."

Wrong. Actually a solid strategy, he can deflect the sure-as-shit calls for Amnesty! by flatly stating, "No amnesty talks of any kind until the border is secure. Eat it."

OK, here’s the deal: Any border issue passed in the house and senate will be vetoed by slow Joe, and will require a two thirds vote to override. To get enough RAT votes, simply tell them that their home states will receive one hundred percent of all “migrants” checked in at the border.

He’s a liar. They refused to fund it under Trump. Now he says they will address it. That means they will pass a tough bill and fully fund the wall..... because they know Biden will veto it.

Then when Trump is back in... they will drag their feet and eke out funding for the border.

What about all the others that
weren’t checked in at the border?

Who gets them?

The leadership of these "powerful organizations" (those who GIVE THE ORDERS) must begin to have serious "accidents" or just disappear.

When/if captured later, off to a designated "blue" state. We'll have the RATs begging for border control!

Note that this is ONLY if they can't be sent back to their country of origin or Mexico, whichever is cheaper.

They will pass it, it will get blocked in the Senate or get vetoed by President Puppet.
Empty promise.

Is McCarthy a given?

Close but needs more ...

A gov’t source on immigrants but one Number I don’t see is

Where did get 20 mm illegals? I’ve looked for
estimated numbers and haven’t found any. Maybe
I’m not searching for the correct item. Any help
would be appreciated.
