Schumer: Reversing Trump Border Policies Didn’t Cause Problem, Dems Moved and GOP Said Let ‘So-Called Crisis Fester’
Breitbart ^ | 08 Mar 2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 03/08/2024 8:05:41 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

On Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Senate Majority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that the problems on the border are not due to President Joe Biden reversing several Trump-era policies, cited Republicans who saw the Senate border bill as Democrats “moving in a tough, strong direction” on the issue, and stated that by opposing the Senate bill, Trump said, “hold it out for political advantage and let this so-called crisis fester for another year.”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, “Well, Senator, Biden was right last night to bring up the strong bipartisan border bill that Trump essentially killed that Sen. Lankford (R-OK) had worked on. But do you think that Democrats need to acknowledge that the immigration crisis we’re now in, which is a top issue for voters, is a result of a number of Trump-era policies that President Biden decided to reverse?”

Schumer responded, “No, I don’t think so. I think the contrast was amazing. President Biden has a real plan on immigration. I know, because we worked on it with the Senate. We put a bipartisan group, Sen. Lankford, Sen. Murphy (D-CT), Sen. Sinema (I-AZ), and they put together a really tough immigration proposal that could pass in a bipartisan way. The plan was so tough that it was supported by The Wall Street Journal editorial page, the fount of hard-right conservatism in America. It was supported by the Border Patrol union. They’ve been right-wing and pro-Trump. It was supported by the Chambers of Commerce because it was tough and strong. It stopped fentanyl — if we enacted it — from coming over our borders by using these fentanyl detection machines, it increased the number of people who would apprehend people crossing the border, and it even had a cap on any immigration if too many people...”

Mitch was a fool to give Schumer the tumor this talking point. He should have demanded that the house bill be brought up for consideration.

Thank you. Chuck Schumer is one of the most repulsive human beings I have ever seen in public life. I need to overcome my hatred of that man before I die. Lord, help me.

Stopping construction of the border wall had no effect?
Ending “Remain In Mexico” had no effect?
Allowing “Catch and Release” had no effect?

OK, Schmuckey, if you say so.
Anyone dumb enough to vote for you is dumb enough to believe that.

It was a bad bill. It would have codified bad practices into worse. It’s better to enforce current immigration laws. This is such a greasy lie.

Yeah Chuckles, its only a coincidence that once Biden changed all of Trump’s border policies the problem suddenly got more than 10X as bad as it ever was before.

Really!

Just pure chance!

A large segment of democrats don’t beleive what Democrats say about the border. The stats speak for themselves but now rich liberals who did not have to deal with an illegal alien influx 4 years ago have migrant hotels and shelters popping up waaaaay too close for their comfort. While outwardly portraying themselves as sympathetic to the illegals “plight” , they still do not want them in such close proximity.

Interesting thing I have noticed, if there is an absolutely WTF response to a poll there will always be 30-35% of those polled who will support that response, similar to the absolute base minimum to dims

Watched a man on the street poll where he asked should guns be banned so only criminals have guns, and people we signing it

Like wise the ever pearl clutching white folks claiming white folks should be eliminated, perhaps they self identify as another color and feel themselves safe

If this is “evolving” we are in a heap of trouble

Delusional, lying, evil, communist scumbag....just like the rest of their ilk.....
Why is this POS not in prison for threatening SCOUTUS judges?
Oh....wait...he’s a big-shot, elite democrat from NY...that’s why.
IF any of us did what that POS did, we’d be rotting in a cell......
Hey, Schumer, go pound sand up your gay arse and ESAD.
Oh, and FJB, too.

I have noticed that every Republican leader we get, they will sit close to the worm Schumer, they both will tilt their heads close together, and Schumer will be the one whispering to the other in the ear.

We need a Republican leader who will not get within three feet of Schumer. That is when I know we will have a real leader.

The stories Schumer comes up with to deny they facts the democrats keep screwing things up is endless he has the mind of a child and believes he talking to one with his stories like all the rest of them they are NOT normal people.

They made Joe Biden president (rigged election) no more proof required.

Well maybe the Opposition GROUP needs to figure out a way
to do a little RIGGING themselves. Or remain where they are
and keep on moaning and complaining. At Life Grand?

It’s not a matter of figure out a way to do a little RIGGING themselves it’s a matter of charging those who do the good old boy system is in place because of stupid voters who have no idea what or who they are voting for.

But I seen the ad on TV it must be true is how stupidity stays on the march and things go to hell fast.

BIDEN DOES HAVE A “REL PLAN” ON THE ‘IMMIGRANTS’.

He wants to turn America into a total HELL HOLE that NOT EVEN TRUMP CAN REPAIR in 4 YEARS.

Chuckie “the Gaslight” Schumer.

No new laws were required to close the border. Enforce the laws on the books and problem solved.
