  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The chart demonstrates the fact I asserted in the face of skepticism.

What, the crossing skyrocketed under Biden then suddenly in the last couple of months it dropped a little bit? Good grief, it should be a shameful thing to have a chart like that over a 4 year period. It most certainly points out how Biden was doing nothing.

If I "let" you into my house, that clearly implies that I am intentionally allowing you to enter my house. If you break into my house or even via an unlock door, that doesn't mean I am letting you in.

Are you saying you can find few such exaggerations and lies on the other side?
Outright lies? There may be some. But they're not the exceptions to the rule any more. They have become the rule.

If you leave your door open and tell people they are welcome to come then you are letting them in.

Like having a donut shop and leaving your door wide open with a sign that says "free donuts" sn nit expecting to be completed stripped within hours.

Biden said:

A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.

Biden said:
No, he didn't. That unsourced quote has been edited to change its sense.
A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.

BIDEN: "This is a president who came along with the DACA program, no one had done that. Sent legislation to the desk, a pathway for the 11 million undocumented in America. This is a president that's done a great deal. I'm proud to have served with him. What I would do as president is several more things, because things have changed. I would, in fact, make sure that there is, we immediately surge to the border, all those people who are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard."

"We" can't be the asylum seekers. I read it as, we will send people to deal with the influx of asylum seekers to 'hear' their cases efficiently.
