Remember when they call Trump a racist for doing the same thing?

[augmentedjester]

This the same guy that sent the national guard to Texas to stop them from policing the border?

[MarryBauer]

Hello, he broke the system completely down😡 all he's doing at the moment is realizing how bad he's failing and he's pandering pandering pandering pandering pandering along with the school forgiveness pandering pandering pandering pandering pandering pandering pandering it's simply disgusting

[Jw-iuel]

I thought there wasn't a crisis 🤔

"Broken system"

You had 4 years to fix it

[frankiek]

So he could have just signed executive orders this whole time?

[anonymoususer]

I guess 13M was the quota he was looking for.

There's federal laws... And the Constitution of the United States...
The USA must accept a certain amount... What does it say on the Statue of You have to find some gray areas, and be very careful to keep immigration down, the president doesn't have much authority over that... It's supposed to be taken care of by Congress and the Senate... They would have to pass immigration reform... But the Republicans hasn't listened to that in 20 years or so...

*continued* - 👍 ..."Everybody said it was great including m.mconell, the us chamber of commerce, the wall street journal, the president of the customs border control union (a Trump supporter). *And what happened* ? – Trump swopped in and said let’s not do this because *I don’t want to give Biden a victory* – I want to run on the chaos - and so he *sabotaged the deal* so he can stop a victory for Biden and run the political issue."

A band aid on a femoral bleed. The damage is done.

[DonDyarprecision]

Thank You, Great Father that Showers with Daughter!

[hellohello-cuug]

*continued* ...👾 ...'also Trump *only mentions* South America, Africa and Asia, *but no mention of Europe* regarding those crossing the border. He even uses similar language fromHitler using the term ‘thePoisioning theBlood’ of our country, mass deportation and detention camps.

It only took 3 years, 8 months for him to stop denying there is a border crisis.

[tmossberg]

Too little too late
Thank you, Joe Biden

Biden: I can't shutdown the border without Congress

also Biden: I am going to shut down the border without Congress

[ronaldcole]

I think it’s been around 40 years since Congress has passed any legislation concerning immigration. The goal has always been to have access to cheap labor. Party is irrelevant. This has been the norm since WWII. America’s underground, under the table economy. Developers, hotels, theme parks, farms, restaurants and so many other industries highly dependent on it with gigantic profits.

The US never really ended slavery so to speak. It just transformed it into a below living wage economy in many sectors.

Most of the goods and services Americans purchases is outsourced as well.

There is no political party of any kind that will change that regardless of what any of them say.

—- WITH SUCH A WARNING BEFORE US IT BEHOOVES US TO BE ON GUARD AS TO WHAT DOCTRINES WE RECEIVE . —-

[garettb]

Too late Joe and thats why you'll be fired in November

[anandazen]

It seems like for the GOP in regards to the border issue: ( Joe Biden) you are damned if you do, you are damned if you don’t. GOP really needs to get a life!

[BillKinsman]

We need immigrants, but too many are too many! We can't let everyone in the world who wants to come here come in and stay forever.
