So you keep repeating.

"That bipartisan deal would hire 1,500 more security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges to help tackle the backload of two million cases, 4,300 more asylum officers and new policies so they can resolve cases in six months instead of six years now. What are you against?

One hundred more high-tech drug detection machines to significantly increase the ability to screen and stop vehicles smuggling fentanyl into America that’s killing thousands of children.

This bill would save lives and bring order to the border. It would also give me and any new president new emergency authority to temporarily shut down the border when the number of migrants at the border is overwhelming.

The Border Patrol union has endorsed this bill. The federal Chamber of Commerce has — yeah, yeah, you’re saying. Look at the facts. I know you know how to read."


So which measure is "a total piece of trash" - Vambram?

Still want to say that the Border Patrol union likes that bill?

Americans can compare prices from 4 years ago to today's prices. Americans know that the costs that we are paying for goods and services are still too high.
This is silly. We all know that over time prices go up. We all know the Pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have caused inflation over the globe.
The so-called bipartisan Senate immigration reform bill was a complete and total piece of trash. It was a garbage bill that would have done absolutely nothing at all to stop the massive illegal immigration. That is why conservatives in the Senate voted against it.
Specifics please.
My understanding is that Republicans beholden to Trump voted against it because Trump doesn't want things improved under Biden. It's call sabotage for perceived personal gain. Others would call it hatred of America.
Even Katie Britt, a Republican on the committee who developed this bill voted against her own bill at the behest of her lord and saviour Donald J Trump.
This Republican part are a cancer on society.

First two paragraphs:
Mr. Speaker, Madam Vice President, members of Congress, my fellow Americans, in January 1941, Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation, and he said, “I address you in a moment, unprecedented in the history of the union.”

Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe. President Roosevelt’s purpose was to wake up Congress and alert the American people that this was no ordinary time. Freedom and democracy were under assault in the world.


You felt accused?
It seems, an attack on Hitler, is an attack on the Republican party supporters???

‘Jacked Up Joe’: Sean Hannity Criticizes Biden for Having TOO Much Energy in State of the Union Speech


He spent most of the night shouting, speeding through his speech, and clearly overcompensating from the normal, everyday Joe that can barely string two sentences together. ... Tonight, America saw, let’s say, a very different Joe Biden. I might call him “Jacked-Up Joe.”


Dark Biden has transformed into his final form in order to defeat Trump: Jacked-Up Joe
LOL it seems Biden didn't live up to the propoganda that the MAGA's are spewing all over the internet and right wing propoganda shows.

And so they are angry.

Yes. It is a fact: The National Border Patrol Council endorsed the bill.
Are you going to address the rest of the "trash" in the bill (your description)?

Instead of stopping massive illegal immigration, that bill would have only tried to be enforced if the illegal immigration is averaging 4,000 per day or 5,000 in one day. Those numbers are absolutely unacceptable.

No one wants immigration to be stopped. No one wants to stop admitting asylum seekers.

What people want is the ability to process seekers quicker, rather than letting them in, unprocessed and finally processing them 6 years later, the bill is to fund more judges and more administrators to get asylum seekers processed in acceptable timeframes, which would mean that those not found to qualify, would be deported much quicker, rather than staying for up to 6 years.
It also puts a cap on how many seekers will be accepted per day.

All of this is much, much better than what USA has today. The bill was drafted by a bipartisan group, including staunchly conservative Republicans.

The National Border Patrol council and union do not like that bill. Read their most recent remarks which I posted.
At the time the bill was being considered on the floor:
"This is absolutely better than what we currently have," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told ABC News.

Now, thanks to the DOnald Trump, the Border Patrol will have no additional help until, in the Republican's mind, DJT is POTUS in January.

No limits per day.
No addtional resources for the Border Patrol.
No addtional judges to process the backlog.
No additional asylum officers to process applicants.
Shall I go on?

Pass the bill.....now.

What most Americans want is for illegal immigration to be stopped.

I agree.

It's not going to happen without Congress allocating more resources. It's only going to continue for the rest of the year.....which is what Donald Trump wants.

All Biden had to do was not act tired and doddery. Sounds like it was a total success.

I did not watch this campaign event. Just like I wont watch the "debates" in the unfortunate event they actually happen.
I think it's better to watch these events. Instead of new station, that lying.

Massive illegal immigration increased big time because of Joe Biden's administration. He can reverse and decrease his failure the same way that he began his failure.

The National Border Patrol Council is the union.

The head of the union doesn't like Biden.

Nevertheless, the union endorsed the bill.

What is that "way" without the needed resources?

All the GOP has to offer as a solution is a candidate that’s already been rejected by the American people once before.
All the DNC has to offer as a solution is a candidate that has the lowest approval rating for this time in his first four years in 4 decades - who almost 80% of Americans think is not effective and do not agree with where he is leading the nation.

Quote the next two sentences

....I already quoted more than you referenced ("first sentence"). I've added the next paragragh.

"Mr. Speaker, Madam Vice President, members of Congress, my fellow Americans, in January 1941, Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation, and he said, “I address you in a moment, unprecedented in the history of the union.”

Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe. President Roosevelt’s purpose was to wake up Congress and alert the American people that this was no ordinary time. Freedom and democracy were under assault in the world.

Tonight, I come to the same chamber to address the nation. Now, it’s we who face unprecedented moment in the history of the union. And yes, my purpose tonight is to wake up the Congress and alert the American people that this is no ordinary moment either. Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today."
