Majority polled blame Harris for border crisis

I blame the Republican Congress, that turn down the last immigration plan.

 

[HARK!]

I blame Harris. As Border Czar, Biden said that when Harris speaks on border issues, that it carries the same weight as if he had said it himself.

She could have used the military to defend our borders here at home, and still had enough to go around to defend everyone else's borders in Biden's wars.

What kept them Biden/Harris from coming up with a new plan in the last 3.5 years? Republicans? If so, what makes you think Kamala will accomplish anything if Republicans keep control of the House? My point is simple, if you keep blaming Republicans for all the problems, then all you can expect from Kamala is four years of "feel the Joy" and empty campaign promises.

The border being a mess has been a rallying cry of the right for my entire life. It wasn’t just magically resolved for the duration of the Trump administration. Any solutions Biden, Harris or Trump could have come up with still wouldn’t absolve Congress from their responsibility in creating this mess and not addressing it at all.

Closing the borders is within the purview of the executive branch. The mess is that ;ew're not controlling the borders at all. Bills proposing "pathways to citizenship", while maybe a desirable thing, are worthless to stop the flow of illegals into the US.

Me? I speak Spanish, albeit poorly. My mom was a legal immigrant (from Korea). A number of my Catholic brethren are immigrants from Latin American, as good neighbors as one could ask, some legal, some not. So I'm far from "anti immigrant".

BUT... you can't just fling open the doors and holler "Y'all come!" and expect anything good to come of it. I know if I'm a Mexican criminal with los Federales on my tail, and I know that I can cross the border into the US but they can't, I'm heading north as fast as my stolen car will carry me. Same thing if I'm a poor jobless dude with a family that needs feeding, and I know that the INS will give us 3 hots and a cot if we make it across the line, then I'm headed thataway, with the frau und kinder (OK different immigrants) in tow. AND, if I'm a Bad Guy who wants to commit a few depredations in the Great Satan, aka the USA, and I don't want the authorities there to know I'm there, all I gots to do is put on a cowboy hat, tell the nice man at the border I'm a refugee named Carlos Rodriguez. that I'm fleeing oppression, shake him by the hand, nip across the border, call my Islamist amigos, and start planning our next terrorist outrage. Allahu ahkbar!

Short form - gotta control the borders.
