The Southern border boogeyman

Stewart is just another vapid lefty host devoid of an ounce of common sense.
He's 1,000% more knowledgeable than you are on topics.

The numbers crossing are obscene
He stated that January was the highest month.

and for a country already suffering from welfare expenditures adding destitute people by the millions is a massive problem. They equate to large states in population
They're coming for you and yours.

Of course our side is plagued with stupid asses like MTG who will focus on crime and stereotypes vs resources to accommodate so many in need etc.
Kind of like you, but sad you view things as sides. .

The border is sad stuff. Both my kids had pink eye this weekend. You’d have thought they were on their deathbeds. Vitamin water an inch away. Netflix on one tv. X Box another. Yet these poor parents are navigating dirty rivers with hungry toddlers. It’s heartrending. I cannot imagine a worse station in life
The border is bad. Seems like a step in the right direction is afoot, but your boy Trump would rather campaign on it than have his supporters in Congress support progress.
 
Calling something fearmongering or a boogeyman doesn't make it so. It's a major issue with major implications.

Which I'm sure Stewart is smart enough to understand, but acknowledging as much might force him to touch on some uncomfortable truths about why this problem has been so exacerbated the last 3+ years.
If you don't preaching to the brainless that nothing but criminals and terrorists are coming across the border illegally isn't fear mongering, you're not smart to understand what Trump is saying.

Trump spews it because he knows a large partition of his base believes it. You'll argue that you don't but still vote for him.
 
It was screwed up before he arrived.
are you able to count? can you tell the difference in numbers between the biden admin and trump admin? do you understand title 42 as well as the remain in mexico policy? or are you just doing your usually blabbering forgetting what board you stumbled on?

I would grant that people who actually show up to their asylum hearing are more likely to meet the credible fear standard. Problem is that only a fraction ever show up.

We also need to start funneling these people through Mexico's asylum process as Mexico is also a safe country and most are crossing through there before entering the U.S.

If their concerns are truly for their health and well being and not economic in nature, why are they not applying in Mexico?

Stewart and his show aren’t the brightest, most sophisticated bulbs out there, but I don’t think he’s vapid. I think he has matured and has moderate instincts. I liked his show from 2001-2015 or whenever he left, but the talent dried up after that first batch of correspondents left).

Bill Maher looks like Trump compared to Stewart. That's sad.
 
Fear porn is certainly not the exclusive domain of the right in this country,. The left has been using fear tactics to motivate it's base for as long as I can remember and like the right they are masterfully adept at it. Plenty of red meat on both sides to rile up the respective bases. Add in the bread and circuses, and here we are watching the great experiment die it's slow death.

You're not tough enough to watch that video.
And Stewart isn't tough enough to do that bit in front of the Riley family. He had more tears for Dipper a week ago than them. Tells me all I need to know about him and those who found this video funny. And if you're going to Google to try to figure out wtf I'm talking about then enjoy your nice sheltered existence.

So about the same as all the thoughts and prayers after gun violence perpetrated by American citizens?

Or does it only count if the crime is done by an illegal immigrant?

Your solution for preventing gun violence runs square into the 2nd amendment does it not? My solution is a crap ton more people in jail and not giving bond for violent offenses.

Preventing/limiting illegal immigration does not run counter to any amendment I'm aware of. And the Biden administration blocks many attempts by the border states to help curb the issue. Hell at least one sides candidate tries, the other only wakes up during an election year when he sees he's getting hammered on the issue.

2nd amendment is technically about well regulated militia, besides, no one is talking about taking all guns away anyway. The amendment doesnt say bear any arms you please. In fact, some arms are already banned and have been for a while. So nope.

And if republicans wanted to limit illegal immigration then they would have signed the bill. How do you claim Republicans are trying when they had a bill in front of their face and declined? It is more convenient as a political issue.

man if i'm reading htis correctly what a disaster. 37,000 granted in 2022 and 2.7 million entered in 2022 (the population of chicago - 3rd largest city in america). Talk about changing the face and demographics of a country
I notice you didn't mention that more were granted in 2019, over 45,000. Is that the narrative we hear?

The travelling migrants do have cell phones and read all about the publicity surrounding Biden's so called open border policy. This cannot help but encourage the immigrants and increase the volume.

In contrast there is the GOP and Trump tough talk about walls, fentanyl, crime, and border security which tells immigrants the "open border" and lax laws could be short lived so they should strike while the iron is hot.

Then there was the Covid scare which had to discourage immigrants from traveling in herds and gathering at the border.

So yep the numbers have increased.

Yup. Feel bad for these people too. Super shitty being born in these countries. Just need to find a ball and a wall and spend every free moment kicking it

I have no idea who comes across the border but if I was a terrorist I would fly into some Latin America country and then get to the border and come across. From what I've read a lot of countries don't have near as much security as we do in the US and most industrialized countries. I'm sure Cuba would be glad to arrange for a terrorist to come land in their country and come across to Latin America so they could get into the US. I hope that is not happening but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

M66, see if you agree.

The Trump border security policies actually rings a bell with Blacks and Hispanics who see these immigrants as a threat to their economic security.

Recent up ticks in Trump's numbers in the above groups seem to support this.

Just asking.

Oh man hoot. I don’t know. I’m not sure that’s a connection I’d make. My guess is more than immigration they don’t like the price of Oreos

It's at least resonating here in Chicago. If economic security means my free cheese is being threatened by the free cheese the migrants are getting the yes it's resonating. Not sure if it's clicked yet that a huge influx of migrants depresses wages in the underground economies. Will it translate to votes? Again, wishful thinking.

Just wait for the usual suspects to come tell you that illegals don't commit crimes at higher rate than Americans...
It would seem they don’t.


But, the stats the retired border intel officer are pretty disturbing. 13% of crossers being a threat to the country compared to 87% that want to better their lives. 13% of a big number is a damned big number.

Yea, just too bad Trump had his cronies block the border bill

lol Jon Stewart?
You may want to read the bill before posting.

And the conservative leaning border patrol approved the bill so I would take their opinion over your propaganda fed opinion that is totally inaccurate.


Here is a link just in case you want to educate yourself ;) I won't hold my breath because the border fearmongering is more based on partisan politics than caring about facts or even fixing the issue.

Seriously??? Why would you post that? You think that has value? Do you think there is any truth to that? Even the title "migrant crime"??? Do you think that's funny? I watched the mother of Laken Riley bury her daughter. She's one of many who have been killed or violently raped by illegals. Do you have children? Do you have any idea of the thoughts that parents are dealing with due to this irresponsible handling of the border? I think about it every damn day! I worry more now thanks to something that should have never happened and is a cold hard truth. There is nothing positive about any of it.
I see the local hyena gave you a laughing emoji.

With no bail, of course their numbers would be lower.

I don’t have the time or care to dig into the numbers, but I cant imagine illegal immigrants committing crimes at a lower rate than Americans. Two of the highest predictors of crimes are sex and age. Illegals tend to be younger and more likely male. So, it doesn’t pass the bullshit test. Also, how do they know exactly how many illegals there are?

It’s measured in terms of convictions. They’re convicting more Americans than illegal immigrants in Texas.

You may say that illegals are getting a pass, but in Texas? I doubt it.

Maybe they’re dispersing outside of Texas but I dunno. They know their best chance of staying is staying on the right side of the law.
