Dem Sen. Merkley: We’ll Keep Voting on Border to Blame GOP or Media Will Ignore Border
Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 02/07/2024 5:39:38 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s edition of NBC’s “MTP Now,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) predicted that Democrats will react to Republicans opposing the Senate border bill by having “multiple votes” to “keep the border in the news” and to “accentuate the fact that President Biden has put forward a very large package” that Republicans oppose.

Merkley said, “Well, there are a couple of pathways: One is for us to have multiple votes and keep the border in the news, keep bringing it forward to accentuate the fact that President Biden has put forward a very large package, now accentuated by this deal, now a $20-billion deal for Customs and Border Protection, for asylum officers so there [are] timely asylum hearings, case management programs, all kinds of pieces to essentially completely change the dynamic on the border, and keep bringing that up.”

Hey, Merkley: Why not just enforce the immigration and border laws that are on the books now? The fact that YOUR side ignored those laws is what has brought us to the current crisis.

Democrats are such children.

Why is a new law necessary if you don’t follow existing laws?

Trump shut the border and effectively halted all Illegal border crossings, why is a new law necessary?

The border bill is an abomination that is designed to keep the torrent of criminal replacements flowing. They know that this is their best hope of stemming the tide of populist conservative sentiment that is welling up all around the world that will cause them to lose control. I do not believe that this game playing will have the effect that they believe that it will.

As Putin told Carlson, he doesn’t need to do anything to undermine the US when useful idiots like you are doing his dirty work for him. Do they have popcorn in the Kremlin? Tucker should have asked Putin that question.

“Our Border Bill Will just be as effective as the the Inflation Reduction Act was in countering inflation and turning the economy around! “

It’s Bidenomics!.. For the Border!

WINNING!

Hey Merkley, WHY don’t you tell the American people that 80% of Biden’s Huge Package has NOTHING to do with the border?

Better yet, why not compare the contents of this “Huge Package” border bill to what is in BIDEN’s DIAPER?

You won’t because you know that they are BOTH full of SH!T

Lets start a petition to kick Oregon and Delaware out of the union!!!!!

Why is a ‘border package’ required when there’s (headline) ‘no problem at the border’? I thought is was ‘secure’ right Biden?

Second, why would we need a ‘border package’ when we have a military to defend our borders? Plus the CBP?

How much was PDJT’s ‘border wall’? Errrrrmmmmm....it wasn’t $20B.

This is insane to even be on the table.

There is one problem. The astounding stupidity of many voters.

You come here because you want the news and comment with others that do the same.

Other people watch CNN, think trans women can have babies, don’t realize if you cut a kid’s gonads off they can’t reproduce, don’t know police have to produce search warrants to enter your house, never heard of freedom of speech, etc.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE STRENGTH OF STUPIDITY.

Which is why we cannot vote our way out of this.

A message needs to be sent here that we, the people, do not want a “deal” on the border, we want a border.

A border that is vigorously enforced, and we want a government that deports everyone here illegally. And we want it done quickly.

I will bet that this doesn’t help Biden with polling at all. People care about results not complaints. Plus the president always takes the blame (even if it’s not their fault , though in this case it is Biden’s fault)

It’s a scam. They don’t need any “border bill”. The LAW already states their responsibility here.

There is nothing more fundamental to a nation than its sovereignty. There is nothing more fundamental to sovereignty than this is OUR border everything from that point inwards is under our exclusvie sovereign control. And if you are a constitutional republic nothing is more fundamental than that sovereignty is exercised for the security and happiness of the People.

These idiots are obviously paid agents of WEF, the UN, the EU or whoever it is that wants to disolve national sovereignty for the benefit of a bunch of global Bond style elite villains. Folks right of central casting like the Nazi Klaus or his useful idiot Ursula.

That is an understatement, except that even large percentages of the stupid people who were born and raised here are beginning to sense that there is trouble in paradise.
