Abbott asserts Texas's right to self-defense amid border surge

Cutting up women and children who might be seeking asylum doesn't seem consistent with Christian ethics.

The drama

Cutting up women and children who might be seeking asylum doesn't seem consistent with Christian ethics.

Barbed wire is an effective deterrent for preventing crossings, they should go to the check-in areas where 85% or so are released into the U.S. It's neither Christian nor non-Christian, and remember there are many religions in the United States.

They’re not cutting anyone up. They’re making them go to a port of entry, They shouldn’t try to come through the wire.

I don't know what you mean. It sounds like Joe is saying what he sees coming. What exactly does he say that bothers you?

"An unrelenting string of immigration/non-stop/folks like me who are Caucasian European descent will be the absolute minority in the United States and that's not a bad thing. It's the source of our strength."

Now why would Biden say this with such enthusiasm? How is that the source of our strength? What's the hurry to flood America with immigrants from other countries in order to make Caucasian European descent folks the minority? Does this mean the left will continue pushing “white privilege” theory; the “white supremacy” narrative and “equity?” - a euphemism for government-sanctioned, politically correct discrimination.

Biden must see Caucasian European descent Americans as the most patriotic and standing in the way of the lefts plans for the future of America. Sounds like a big power grab to me.

The real focus should be on preserving our Constitution and what it means to be an American. Yet unfortunately, we have too many people in our country who don't respect the Constitution or our values. Sadly, our society is becoming more and more anti-Christian and crime, and immorality is becoming rampant. In reality, rapid population change is by definition instability, and the effects in the U.S. are already very apparent.

"An unrelenting string of immigration/non-stop/folks like me who are Caucasian European descent will be the absolute minority in the United States and that's not a bad thing. It's the source of our strength."

Joe is saying that of the continuous flow of migrants that come to America, the majority used to be of Caucasian European descent just like his family, but that is changing, and they will become a minority.

Personally, I'm not sure that they will be an "absolute" minority.

Now why would Biden say this with such enthusiasm?

I didn't see any enthusiasm. The statement "that's not a bad thing" actually carries a neutral connotation. In other words, Joe would have said it's a good thing if he was enthusiastic.

How is that the source of our strength?

Because it shows that despite diverse ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, people can unite and get along in a common objective truth that is greater than our differences, and that this makes us stronger. Joe is saying, that's what makes America great.

What's the hurry to flood America with immigrants from other countries in order to make Caucasian European descent folks the minority?

There's nothing in Joe's statement that indicates Joe is in any hurry to flood America with immigrants from other countries, nor make people of Caucasian European descent the minority.

Does this mean the left will continue pushing “white privilege” theory; the “white supremacy” narrative and “equity?” - a euphemism for government-sanctioned, politically correct discrimination.

Why do you use the term "left" in the context of skin color above? It's clear you are repeating propaganda. In politics, the term "left" represents one half of this political dichotomy Left/right. Most people know that a true dichotomy is made up of true opposites: up/down, backward/forward, in/out etc.... However, a political left/right dichotomy exists so as to reason where the objective middle is between two opposing yet equally valid subjective views. A left/right dichotomy infers both subjective views are objectively valid and objectively there is a fair balance at the center.

With that in mind, what you're doing is accepting and promoting a false premise by presenting the THEORY of white privilege as a valid view on the left in opposition to an equally valid view on the right. That is political propaganda meant to divide. Why? Because discrimination based on skin color is being asserted as being present on one side by the opposing side, which invalidates both sides. It's the same as saying the right represents those who say the left is wrong about what the left is saying about the right. That's working both ends against the middle not towards the middle.

This is the TRUE base political left/right dichotomy to reason upon: Democracy/Autocracy. To move to the left is the decentralization of power and to move to the right is greater centralization of power. Notice that it is not an imaginary or hypothetical dichotomy but a practical application of logical reasoning. This is how we realize the difference between a Democratic Republic and a Monarchy.

Democracy/Autocracy... <This dichotomy represents the delegation of power IN DEGREES between each and every individual person having equal say (Democracy) and one single person having the only say (Autocracy). And as you can see, color of skin would have nothing to do with the left/right delegation of power. There is no such thing as the blacks/browns/reds/yellows/, are on the left, and the privileged with white skin are on the right, unless you mean to convey that the theory of privileged white skinned people is that the privileged favor greater centralization of power because they have white skin (which is nonsense).

18,000+ Border Patrol agents support Texas, blast Biden admin

The NBPC released a statement supporting Texas National Guard and blasting Biden for unleashing a "catastrophe" on the United States.

americanmilitarynews.com

A statement released on Thursday by the NBPC, which is the official union for over 18,000 U.S. Customs Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees, pushed back against what the union described as “fake news” reports that Border Patrol agents would be arresting Texas National Guardsmen at the border.


The statement was released as Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and the Texas National Guard continued to install razor-wire barriers along the southern border last week despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing the Biden administration to remove the barriers.

“Rank-and file BP agents are not going to start arresting TX NG members for following their LAWFUL orders. That’s fake news,” the NBPC stated. “TX NG and rank-and-file BP agents work together and respect each other’s jobs. Period. If TX NG members have LAWFUL orders, then they have to carry out those orders.”

I'm not aware of anybody reporting or claiming that they would.

No they won’t. While this an “invasion” some of which are “terrorists,” Republicans think it isn’t that big of a deal. They are willing to wait a year until they will do something about it. So any time they cry about it, know they are not serious because if they were they would do something now and not wait a year.

They’re probably not going to pass a bill that allows 5,000 entries a day.

Ya, they are going to wait until Trump becomes President again.

Apparently the issue is not as bad as we are being told by republicans.

Republicans in Congress would certainly like him to be, which is all that really matters for the purposes of this discussion.

We have not seen what is in the bill. There has been no debate etc. I have heard it gives Biden alot of power in immigration as well. But it is the continuation of pass the bill to find out what is in the bill. Nobody should want more of that. So no debate for all of us to know what the issues really are.

 

[JustOneWay]

Do you think Trump is going to be President again?

What I think is irrelevant. You should be asking Trump why he wants to stop the bill if the border is such a crisis as ya'll claim. Just saying 'the bill is terrible' doesn't cut it. The republicans of the House have done nothing in their time in charge.

INVASION!

Probably because allowing 5,000 people a day in is almost 2 million in a year. That’s not a good bill.
I know it’s a good talking point to say “Look the Republicans won’t pass the bill, they don’t care about the border.”
But there’s more to it than that.
I agree the Republicans have not done anything when they could have but I don’t blame them for not voting for this bill.

 

[JustOneWay]

Please provide the evidence in the proposed bill which allows 5000 people a day to enter America AND stay. You keep posting this, so the evidence should not be difficult to post.

Biden and senators on verge of striking immigration deal aimed at clamping down on illegal border crossings

After weeks of closed-door negotiations, the White House and a trio of senators could unveil an agreement as early as this week, sources said.

www.cbsnews.com

The power, which Mr. Biden referred to as an authority to "shut down the border" on Friday, would be mandated after average daily migrant crossings hit 5,000 over seven days, or 8,500 in a single day. It could also be activated on a discretionary basis after average daily crossings surpass 4,000 in a week.2
