j-bj, @ 6:03 you begged for data about migrant minors at the border and when that was provided for you you whined, again.

Why do you insist on being so tsudip?

NeverConTaterPoof, your link was from April 8th. You're out of touch and you're not even yourself, or are you?

Here's a current one, but nothing will fix your ignorance and buffoonery.

Here you go, j-bj.

Try reading this to fix part of your ignorance.

Here's a link Abe. It's clearly not a great situation, but it's really no worse than at other times, like 2019 when none of the alt-righties blamed Biden, but they didn't blame Trump either.

How about some factual data on the number of kids "dumped" at the border?

Kids generally have parents who are motivated to have a good job to take care of their kids.

Do you think all those kids that are dumped at the border or brought in by the coyotes are able to work?

Can you cite a source for that? I'm sure that there are plenty of examples of immigrants that are muling drugs or something, but I would argue that the wide majority are just looking for a better life.

My theory, though, comes from the acknowledgement of how many Hispanics that Tyson trafficked to Wilkes specifically to work.

Whether we like it or not, we need 7 million people to take low paying manual labor jobs. We can either convince the next generation of Americans to skip college and sling a hammer for minimum wage, or we can import... I haven't heard of a third option yet.

Anti


One of problem with your analysis is you are assuming everyone trying to cross the border is willing to work

That is far from the truth

If you do not know there is a border crisis, sorry but I cannot help you


You know, Foxy, I tried to avoid emotion and rhetoric... numbers are so much better. And the numbers show that things are no different than they were in 2019. Of course, 2020 was lower, but Mexico and Central America were dealing with the same pandemic that we were so that's not exactly a surprise.

So why does the GOP say that there's a border crisis now? Other than the change in representation, what has changed at the border that makes this a crisis, when it wasn't before?

are you saying you do not think there is a crisis of illegal children being dumped in detention camps at the border?

There's no denying that the previous administration failed to build appropriate detention centers, and the new administration can't exactly do that overnight. But as for policy?

The number of children being held in by US Customs and Border Protection (CPB) has dropped 88% between late March and late April, according to government officials.

The decrease comes as a task force set up by President Joe Biden begins to reunite families that were separated under his predecessor Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy.

But see, this is where I fall back to traditional Conservative policies... I think that the nation is spending too much time and money focusing on "securing the border," when we actually need them. We're cutting off our nose to spite our face.

Other than racism, can you think of any reason why we should not allow Mexican and Central American citizens to freely come to the US to work? They wouldn't be citizens so they wouldn't be eligible for any government programs or benefits, but they would still pay taxes:


As I showed before, we have a surplus of over 7 million jobs dating back to 2010... mostly in low-skill and manual labor. If we don't bring in more people that want those jobs, what do you suggest we do?

Leftist schlitZ denying 'ol burden's border crisis is the joke of the year, so far.

fox, other than trolling, what exactly are you saying? Do you even know?

Foxnose

Posted 7:46 am, 05/06/2021

Not saying that at all, but if you think it gives you an excuse not to answer the question, think what you will.

I really didn't expect an honest answer from you anyway

foxy, just for the record, are you saying that there is a crisis at the border now but there wasn't during Trump's 4 years?

Connie & foxy are just so excited and happy to imagine that Biden has a border crisis, nothing will match it other than the Big Lie from their cult leader.

Fummy how the leftist schlitZ always fall back on their distorted metric on border apprehensions to run away from 'ol burden's border crisis.
