Remember when we had to had new legislation to Fix The Border? Legislation which would prioritize legalizing illegals/migrants and get around to securing the border later? Except for that thing about shutting down crossings when they are more than 5,000 a day between ports of entry or something. Which is still more than what is happening now
Just nine illegal migrants were released into the US during President Trump’s first 100 days in office — compared to 184,000 in the same period last year then-President Biden, border czar Tom Homan said Tuesday.
The stunning figures came as the White House marked a 99.99% decrease in so-called “gotaways” — unlawful entrants not turned back whom the administration called “the top threat to public safety.”
“In that same time frame that we released nine, [the Biden administration] released 184,000 illegal aliens in the country,” Homan said on “Fox and Friends” early Tuesday.
“President Trump is a game changer,” Homan said.
Well, let’s be fair: it took Trump with a crew of people, like Homan, to make this happen. A president who has the will to enact policies and move forward with action can make a big difference.
“What’s happening on the border, he did in seven weeks what Joe Biden couldn’t — or wouldn’t — do in four years.”
Joe wouldn’t. Well, his advisors and wife who were actually in charge wouldn’t. They did not want to. They wanted the border overrun. Oh, and weren’t particularly happy when Governors like Greg Abbott started shipping them to Democrat run sanctuary cities.
Homan stressed that the nine who were allowed in all had good reasons. Four were material witnesses in criminal investigations they wanted to testify in court, another four were in “extreme medical distress” and one was released on unspecified humanitarian grounds, Homan said.
And they can be tracked easily.
Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol officials would see up to 15,000 migrants crossing the border per day, Homan said.
“You know what the number was yesterday? 178 … 178 across 2,000 miles of border,” he said of the dramatic decline in those even attempting entry. Illegal border encounters are down 95%, the White House said.
If you tell them not to come, that they won’t be allowed in, that they won’t get free stuff, and that the ones here are going to be caught and deported you seriously incentivize them to not come. When you surge forces to the border to stop them, you incentivize them to not come.

Transporting persons here unlawfully is a federal crime.
Either Abbott committed federal crimes or the “transportees” were not “illegals”.

Yet Attorney General Merrick Garland, who absolutely hates Republicans for denying him a Supreme Court seat, never even attempted to charge Governor Abbott with a crime. I wonder why that is?
Mr Dowd seems very serious about this, given that he repeated it two more times. However, while Mr Dowd usually attempts to at least add a bit of truth to what he wrote, this is an outright lie, and he knows it. The Trump Administration deported illegal immigrants who were adults, and some of them chose to take their anchor babies with them, rather than be separated from their children.
Mr Dowd knows that, yet he took a choice himself, to outright lie about it.
President Trump has chosen to break the anchor chain which the illegals have tried to their anchor babies. Yes, “Ugly Donald” is an [insert slang term for the anus here], not beholden to the oh-so-sympathetic notions of the left, notions which have harmed this country, but he’s doing what is necessary to protect our country, and he is doing just what the 77,302,580 of us, including our host, and including me, who voted for him wanted him to do. I want an [insert slang term for the anus here] as President, because I want someone who will do what is best for the United States of America.
We need and want immigrants, but we need and want good immigrants, people who will apply to come here legally, and people who we can and should properly vet. We should want immigrants who have no criminal records in their home countries, people who have no ties to criminal gangs, people who are heterosexually married, people who are regular attendees at Mass, people who are of good character and who are able to work to support themselves when they get here.
If our 46th President had taken that kind of attitude when he was in office, our 47th President wouldn’t have to be doing what he is doing to kick all of the illegals out.
The KY Kid lies again! Of course, Forty-$even deported children who were American citizens. But there will always be some ‘civilian casualties’ during our wars. And America is at war – we have a national emergency – an invasion of thousands of brownskins from Central and South America!!
We get it. Trannies, same-sex marriage, illegal alien criminals, China and those effete Europeans and Canadians are easy targets and generate great headlines. “An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance.” “The Buck Stops Over There!”
The Katholic KY Kid typed:
We agree in part! The U.S. cannot expect to deport over 11 million undocumented residents without significant disruptions to the nation. Sorry, but that’s a reality. Most, but not all, of the undocumented living here today are not tied to criminal gangs, are heterosexually married, are Roman Catholic (it is not Constitutional to discriminate by religion, though), and work to support themselves and their families . Did the Katholic KY Kid realize that the undocumented have a LOWER unemployment rate than other Americans?
Legislatively, we need a comprehensive immigration plan instead of the helter-skelter state of today.
So yes, find, arrest, prosecute, imprison violent criminals. Deport recent undocumented as needed. Yes, we need a path to citizenship for “good” undocumented, i.e., creating pathways to legal status or citizenship for those who are already in the country without authorization, often with requirements like paying back taxes and demonstrating good character.
The suspicion amongst reasonable Americans is that the MAGA movement’s objective is to establish a caucasian, christian, conservative, straight, male-dominated nation. We welcome Mr Dana’s reluctant recognition that the United States needs vetted immigrants, even brown ones.
So, Joe Biden could have done something about illegal immigration . . . if he’d wanted to.
Perhaps our savant from St Louis could tell us if he thinks that the crackpot from California would have won had President Biden kept this one, just one, policy of President Trump’s.
The KY Kid is right! If President Biden had cracked down on immigrants, Vice-President Harris would surely have won the presidency. She just barely lost as it was!
The KY Kid seems to be blaming President Biden, who bequeathed 47 a good economy, for Forty-$even‘s disastrous start.
Tell us, please. Would the KY Kid have voted for Vice-President Harris (a Black-Indian female) if President Biden had cracked down on immigrants? LOL
