Democrats are rushing to fix their failed sanctuary city and open border schemes
TheHill ^ | 02/07/2024

President Biden has extended Democrats’ sanctuary city policies to the southern border. It’s not complicated; the two are connected.

Combined, Democrats have created a self-reinforcing crisis that is beyond their willingness to control. Instead, they are desperately trying to find someone else to solve what their leftist extremists won’t let them fix. Their hope now is that Sunday’s Senate bill will.

America is in the throes of an undeniable illegal immigration crisis that continues to break records under Biden. Illegal crossings over the southern border in December hit 250,000, 31 percent higher than November’s number (119,112) and 13 percent over December 2022’s total, which had been the previous record.

Of course, it is not just the numbers of illegal crossings alone; drugs too, especially fentanyl, are also pouring in. And among the illegal crossers, there are also criminals and terrorists in increasing numbers. Finally, there is the cost American taxpayers must bear: at least $151 billion according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

I guess if you call passing a bill for billions to bail out the sanctuary cities a “fix”.

It’s not A fix, it’s THE fix that’s in.

After they’ve rounded up and deported their first million illegals, I may be led to believe they are starting in the right direction.

Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act

“Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

So, right now, there is a law on the books that Biden can use to immediately suspend the illegals coming across our border. We don’t need any new law superceding existing law, Senators.

Asking Congress to pass a new law is an attempt to shift blame away from himself for the border disaster.

He created the mess and he can fix it.

The only way the dems can stop their ship from sinking is to join MAGA.

“The only way the dems can stop their ship from sinking is to join MAGA.”

No doubt some Dems are beginning to see the damage that has been done by Biden and the Dems in congress and will start self preservation tactics soon.

Article 34 - Naturalization [and getting the right to vote (and buy AR-15s)]

The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings.

Note that that does not prevent the United States government from charging a citizenship maintenance charge of say $5/day.

Patent maintenance fees are required.

Citizenship service would be like my cell phone service. If I don’t pay, I lose service.

If the Republican House passes any bill that overtly or covertly rescues these sanctuary cities, then they are not only negigent but are colluding with the Biden cabal’s nation destructing open border. They are literally the only barrier left.

Welcome to Bidenville.

On the left: an illegal alien gesturing obscenely;part of a violent mob on tape viciously attacking a NYPD officer; got off scott free, released without bail.

On the right is a father of 11, convicted in federal court
of praying at an abortion mill facing 11 years in jail.

All aliens wishing to get naturalized should have to undergo and pass a federal 4473-style background check since once naturalized they would gain Amendment II rights.

Since background checks on citizens violate Amendment II in my opinion, they should be done before naturalization.

No. They are using that phony bill to try to pin the blame for massive illegal invasion waves on Republican. They are already fund raising on this.

“...They are already fund raising on this.”

It sounds like fraud to me.

Let’s see what the New York State AG does about it.

The dims are rushing to appear that they are fixing the problem. It’s all an illusion and political BS. Behind the scenes they are working up plans to ramp up the flow of illegals.
