What good is a promise of border enforcement from a party who will never do that?
So, the reason Republicans refuse to secure our borders is because they don't want Democrats to secure the border, because they won't do it, even though they'll have to do it, because that's kind of the whole point of legislation... or something.

Weird, but ok.
Why would Democrats be willing to enforce a new law on the books? Couldn't they just refuse to enforce it as they have the laws currently on the books?

If the razor wire is so ineffective, why bother cutting it down?

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Joe Biden vows to SHUT DOWN THE BORDER (hear that Ajax?) if Congress passes the Bill, because only then can he legally do so.

It is wonderful to have a President who is so cognizant of the separation of powers and would rather err on the side of caution than act like a dictator.
Joe Biden has the authority to shut the border down right now. In fact he doesn't have the authority to not do so, but he's getting away with refusing to enforce existing law. He and Mayorkas should both be impeached for refusing to enforce a congressional mandate.

This stupid Senate bill, like many others that have come before it over the last 20 years, is just a false promise to enforce border in exchange for more amnesty. The only thing they want more border patrol for is to act like expedia to the third world.

No, he doesn't have the authority which is why Trump never did it when he was President. Biden is being the good President here by following the guidance of legal counsel on this who tell him it is best to have explicit powers granted to him by Congress to stay in line with the Constitution, and I already showed you where one Republican said Trump tried to have those same powers given to him. Again, you're repeating the debunked talking points.

Biden is a genius here by calling the GOP's bluff on this. He's even gone public and vowed to shut down the border as soon as they pass the bill. So the ball is in their court and we will see how serious they are about all of the BS they've been whining about. Thus far it looks like all they care about is trying to keep the border in "crisis" mode just to help a failed President get reelected.

It doesn't matter what the law says. Democrats in power will never allow the border to be enforced. They never have been willing to enforce the law in the past, why would they be willing to do so now, especially when like you they want more not fewer illegal immigrants. The US border really is the 21st century's version of the transatlantic slave trade. You've got cartels putting working men into debt slavery and young women into sex slavery in exchange for passage. Then you have the American elites profiting not just from adult illegal immigrant pay under the table labor but child labor as well.

It doesn't matter what facts Steuss, Veritas, Res, or others bring to the discussion about the reality of border enforcement; Ajax will never allow a Democrat to enforce the border, and will never allow a Republican to fail to enforce the border.

Your whiny bluster has been exposed because Republicans have already said they won't do anything until Trump is elected because their job as always has been to obstruct while complaining and blaming. That's what today's GOP does. That's just about all they do.

The border has been "enforced" every day Biden was President. It was never "open" no matter how many times you people keep lying about it.

This isn't Texas vs. Biden, it is America vs. the Confederacy.

This Senate bill doesn't contain any form of amnesty.

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema discusses details of comprehensive border bill
The bill does not include legislation to help expedite the processing of the Dreamers who arrived in the U.S. illegally at a young age in situations that were out of their control, Sinema said.

“This a border security package that seeks to create security and order on the border and to ensure that cartels are no longer able to exploit our Asylum system,” she said.

Which makes Joe Biden's promise to shut the border down in exchange for more work permits and legal immigration an empty promise.

It contains work permits for illegals, which means that the 6 million here illegally that we know about will never be deported. In the bargaining process Schumer offered to cut illegal crossings from 10,000 to 5,000 per day, admitting that they could enforce the border if they wanted to do so.
“This a border security package that seeks to create security and order on the border and to ensure that cartels are no longer able to exploit our Asylum system,” she said.
According to the Veritas we've always had that.
