Fetterman says migration crisis threatens to destroy the American dream as another 300,000 people approach southern border

[Valletta]

'And I think two things can be true at the same time. You can be very supportive of immigration, but we also need to have a secure border,' he said.
In recent weeks, Fetterman has broken from the far-left of his party by showing strong support for Israel since the October 7 Hamas terror attack.
He also stated that the U.S. should toughen up its southern border policy, a stance some on the left think is inhumane.

It is inhumane to let the Biden border disaster continue.

Wow, not many politicians are willing to step outside the box. Waiting for the backlash now. He must be an old-school Democrat who still has common sense.

Exactly. One of the few Democrats who has not transitioned.

Send all illegals to the White House yard and Democrat House and Senate Districts. They voted for them... let them open their spare rooms, garage apartments, and backyards to them. Their virtue is admirable. Especially the "sanctuary" cities and states! Kudos to them!
See how their constituents vote in November.

I'm not sure even he knows what he is, but I will say he hasn't sold his soul, which is saying something today.

So he agrees with Biden, who sent a bill to Congress to toughen up enforcement on the border. Unfortunately Trump disagreed and told the republicans to stop it from becoming law. Apparently, he thought it was inhumane. In the sense that if Biden was allowed to enforce border security, his last campaign issue would be gone.

And yes, democrats will be reminding voters who is responsible for the crisis now.

Biden sent no bill to Congress to toughen up the border--to the contrary.

Is this the same Fetterman the righists said is to brain damaged to be in the Senate?

Boy the rightists sure do love them when they say something they believe.

Illegals is a term used as a way to dehumanize others less fortunate or privileged than themselves. Way to go.

Sorry, from the viewpoint of a son of a legal immigrant.

Illegal is a term for a person who does something illegal. They earned the title of illegal the moment they broke the law.

 

[hislegacy]

As an aside - I am glad the Democrats have at least one person in congress that doesn't follow the tribe.

 

[durangodawood]

I agree that immigration needs to be well regulated (like many things).

But, big picture, immigration is whats going to save the USA relative to other countries given the catastrophic demographic graying other countries will experience.

No point in denial. He asked for money to put more Border Patrol people on the bordet and he asked for more courts to process asylum requests to more expeditiously remove those who didn't qualify. That was the last thing Trump wanted, so he told the republicans to kill the bill. And yes, Biden will be reminding people who prevented toughening up the border.

Actually, many of them didn't break the law. It's not a crime to come here legally and then overstay.

Yep. Which is why the republicans scream about immigration, but refuse to actually do anything of substance about it. They might be corrupt, but they (mostly) aren't morons.

First, the 10,000,000 that illegally crossed during the Biden regime did not have visa's - they paid thousands of dollars to drug dealers to smuggle them into the US.

Second - as to the overstaying (less than 1% of all illegals)

Consequences of Overstaying A Visa In USA​

The issue of overstaying a visa in the U.S. while on a nonimmigrant visa has been receiving serious attention in recent years. Some of the consequences of overstaying your visa status are:​

​

• Visa overstays may be barred from returning to the U.S. for ten years or three years depending on the period of overstay or “unlawful presence”.
• Visa overstays may be restricted from applying for Extension of Stay or Change of Status.
• Visa overstays will have their existing visa automatically revoked or cancelled.
• Visa overstays are generally unable to obtain a new visa except in their country of nationality.
• Visa overstays may not be able to Adjust Status in the U.S. even if otherwise eligible.

The consequences and penalties for overstaying your visa in USA may be considered as below:​

"Illegal" is a proper term to describe an action, not a person.

No one calls a shoplifter an "illegal". Not even a murderer.

No, it is dehumanizing. Why do you dehumanize other people?

At worst it’s laziness.

Ok... criminals, then.

Asylum seekers are not criminals, and a criminal must be first convicted before they are criminals.

Calling them criminals is wrong.
