Tim Scott Proclaims Grifter Ukraine Immigration "Compromise" "Dead on Arrival;"
Mitt Romney Claims That Anyone Who Opposes Their Sell-Out Treason "Deal" " Does Not Want To Solve the Border Problem"

The same six Senators have been selling the same fucking "comprehensive immigration reform compromise" that is full of goodies for illegals and lacks any money for a wall, border security, and deportations now for twenty two fucking years straight.

Republican Sen. Tim Scott says the reaching a deal with Democrats on border security is now "dead on arrival."
The South Carolina lawmaker made the comment Wednesday night on Fox News, following Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell reportedly telling member of his conference any agreement with Democrats on border security tied to Ukraine aid could undermine former President Trump's 2024 campaign, which is heavily focused on the crisis at the southern border."
"Number one, it's dead on arrival," said Scott, who after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race has back the front-running Trump. "Number two, Democrats prefer the issue than any solution," Scott said on Fox News on Wednesday evening. "Never forget, any issue impacting marginal people they go with problem not with solution."

Every single year, the "Gang of Traitors" proposes the same laundry list:

* More money to process illegals faster

* Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!

* Work visas for illegals

* A "path to citizenship" for illegals

We keep telling them we want:

* a border wall

* more security

* more deportations

* a sharply narrowed definition of who is permitted to claim "asylum" status, which is how most illegals scheme their way into the country

We keep saying the same thing year after year, and the Gang of Traitors says they're finally going to give us border security -- Border security, in these four steps:

* More money to process illegals faster

* Mass amnesty for children brought illegally to the US -- the "dreamers" -- and also the adult dependents of the Dreamers. Chain amnesty!

* Work visas for illegals

* A "path to citizenship" for illegals

Wait...

that's...

that's the exact same thing you've "offered" us since 2002...

IT'S THE SAME FUCKING "DEAL" EVERY YEAR.

DO THEY THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN THE LAST "DEAL" WHICH WAS EXACTLY LIKE THIS NEW "DEAL"?

Then McConnell lied to us and said we had to take this "deal," because Schumer would never give us such a great "deal" under Trump.

In other words: McConnell was claiming that we have to give the Democrats almost their complete laundry list of demands, in exchange for no border wall, no border security, no deportations, and no limitations on "asylum," to preserve our bargaining strength with Schumer in the future.

So in the future, now that Schumer has 90% of what he always wanted... what exactly would be his incentive to give the right anything on security?

This was McConnell's claim. This was the lie hissed out by this aneurysmic Mephistopheles.

McConnell is blaming the bill's failure on Trump -- he's the likely nominee now, so we can't undermine him.

DeSantis wanted the border sealed, too. Vivek too.

So who was McConnell holding out hope for?

Nikki Haley, of course. The Great Off-White Hope.

MCCONNELL BOWS TO TRUMP ON BORDER
Last night, we scooped that MCCONNELL told Republican senators that time had essentially run out on trying to craft a Ukraine-border package.
"We dont want to do anything to undermine [Trump]," said McConnell, who can barely utter the former president's name.
"The politics on this have changed," McConnell said.
TIM SCOTT then was asked about our reporting on Fox and said the border bill is DOA. The bill was being crafted by his 2010 classmate Lankford.

The politics of this haven't changed since 1995. We want you to stop illegals from coming into the country; every "compromise" you propose involves bringing more illegals into the country.

We say: "Take money and build a wall." You say: "We'll take your money, and spend it to expedite the asylum hearing process to give illegal aliens passes into the United States for eight years."

We say: "We want less illegal immigration." You say: "Would you accept, instead, green cards for all illegals currently in the country?"

We say: "We want less chain migration." You say: "Hey, here's a down-the-middle compromise: Would you settle for more chain migration?"

We say: "We want you to deport the illegals." You say: "We've achieved an historic compromise -- we're going to grant legal status to not only all "children" brought here by illegals, but to their adult family members as well."

It just never stops. The public, and particularly the GOP voting base to whom you owe your Position of Grift, has been telling you they want you to stop illegal immigration for thirty fucking years, but you just keep producing more "compromises" to make illegal immigration more efficient.

Mark Hemingway
@Heminator
I realize Trump and/or GOP infighting is catnip to the press, but it seems painfully obvious McConnell didn't have the votes for what was a terrible border "compromise" and he's deflecting by blaming Trump, knowing the media would fall for this excuse hard.

Mitt Romney claims that these traitors' plans to spend money not on border security but on regularizing the status of illegals so they are permitted both to stay in American and work in America would have "solved the border issue," and claims Trump doesn't want the border issue "solved."

Jeremy Carl
@realJeremyCarl

. @MittRomney will speak at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and endorse Biden.
Take it to the bank.

That is 100% correct. This guy who obviously "does not want to solve the border problem" speaks the truth.

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney rips Donald Trump for sabotaging the immigration deal:

“The fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is really appalling." pic.twitter.com/I9Pc5T6PO7

Let's take a moment to compare this to the 2013 efforts at amnesty.

They tried in a non-election year. They went through committee. They got Marco Rubio to stump for it for weeks, and it failed.

This time, they tried to sneak it through during an election year, using extreme rhetoric about its need to pass, and simply skipped the whole committee process to bring a ready made bill to the floor, and it still failed.

It really does feel like the GOP is changing and the only thing really holding it back is DC (in particular Senate) leadership.

They just don't care. You can take the "deal" and make it all nice and legal, or they'll continue to ignore the law and let it continue illegally. So long as it continues - and, crucially, that *you* do not get anything like what you want - all's well in Washingtonland.

Since Rick Scott actually tried to run against McConnell in 2023, he actually has some claim to being next, perhaps as much as Thune since Thune is "second in command".

Granted Rick Scott isn't great, but he's better than McConnell and Thune.

75 If we had a real press maybe they could ask Schumer and/or McConnell this: How many illegal aliens are there in the country right now?

Because every time they discuss this they claim there are “11 million.”

Spoiler alert: they’ve said 11 million for at least 4 decades.

77 The "immigration problem" the RINOs seek to solve is that it is beneficial to Trump.

They seek complete capitulation as they, foolishly, believe that will remove the issue from the public.

Pass it and supercharge Trump's campaign as he declares,
"I will repeal their immigration sell-out on Day 1. A real repeal, not the fake repeal like they lied to you they'd deliver of Obamacare. They sold you out on NAFTA, they sold you out on Obamacare, they sold you out on immigration-- but I'm going to make them pay!"

Are they secretly working for Trump?

Gotta love politicians when they commit to the gimmick. This isn't a solution to the border problem. Not by any stretch of anyone's imagine. Sophisticated or naive, smart or stupid, rich or poor - nobody believes this is a "solution."

But commit to it, define it as a "solution," reject anything else as a non-solution, blame the opposition for refusing to solve the problem.

It's a childish manipulation trick that is transparent to the point of tedium that could only possibly work on other people who are in on the scam.

2. States are given 1 year to clean up their welfare rolls. After that year, any state found to be providing benefits to an illegal... loss of $1B in general funding per person.
3. Any landlord found to be proving housing to an illegal... $1M fine per person for the first offense. 1 year in prison per person for the second offense.
4. No schools, no banking, no hospitals (except for lifesaving emergencies). Any illegals visiting the hospital are deported as soon as they can travel.

It's leverage. The Democrats and the RINOS want money for Ukraine and their kickbacks from Ukraine.

Americans want the border closed. The only way we can get the other side to listen? We need to threaten no money for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.

The 58-year-old convicted killer is due to be put to death during a 30-hour window beginning on Thursday, in an untested execution method that his lawyers and experts have decried as cruel and experimental.

On Wednesday night, the US Supreme Court declined to stay his execution after his lawyers had claimed Smith was at undue risk of a tortuous death that would amount to cruel and unusual punishment, violating the 8th and 14th amendments of the US Constitution.

Put a big pack of them into a room with a little security.

Seriously, though, if you are at one of the designated refugee in points you ask the room - Who is a refugee from Mexico?. Then you move them out to a smaller room. The rest you load on a bus to a passenger ship to Veracruz or something, because they aren't allowed entry.

At any other point, you skip the first question and load them all.

For the overflow, you ask each one what oppression of the Mexican government they are fleeing. If its local, and not Veracruz, they can go on the same ship. If its some other cause, like the economy, they go on the same ship. If they have a lawyer, they go on the ship too.

This leaves a couple of people a week, and a phone call to the Mexican government by a diplomat probably clears most things up.

And most of them face enemies in their own party wanting to stab them in the back. I think Trump actually toyed with creating a new party after 2020 but due to legislation mandating party monopolies, ballot access, candidate recruitment etc., it is really difficult to do.

Changing an existing party is about like changing your transmission driving down the highway. Easier to do if the car is dead in the road (aka if the GOP died) but very difficult to do it otherwise.

Those on the Right have to give up ideas about retreating back to their private sphere after each election and stay mobilized for a political fight. Otherwise, worse things are waiting.

NEVER FORGET and NEVER FORGIVE is what I post and it's not a sentiment, it is a call to action against the all the McConnells, McCains, McCarthys, Murkoswskis, Bushes, Romneys, Ryans, Collinses, Cornyns, Dewines, Kemps, Duceys, Blackburns, Wickers, Pences and all other lying, unreliable, bought and paid for traitors and corporate whores!!!

Simpler, close the asylum loophole. Make a list of the groups who can claim asylum... not a case by case basis.

Make that list reviewable and voted on every year, by Congress.

Currently they have given paperwork for hearing EIGHT YEARS OUT as to whether they have a viable asylum claim or not.

Actually, I think he probably doesn't want it but his problem is that at least half the GOP caucus would side with a unanimous Dem party to ram it through. Best to make a big stink in order to get voter pressure on GOP senators to end the POS 'agreement'.

Then there is the age difference in society, far too many oldsters still believe taht our institutions are good--only some of the people are bad.

There should be NO processing of illegal aliens at the border. Full stop. That is what American embassies are for.

If anyone presents themselves at a land border crossing with no paperwork, no advance medical records including chest xray and current immunizations and a current police abstract of all activities for the past 25+ years they should be stopped in their tracks and returned to Mexico or Canada or on the next flight out.

Legal immigrants can explain the procedure if anyone is interested.

Complicated time. The GOP formed after the Whig party literally died and was actually an anti-Democrat, anti-slavery coalition of a variety of third parties like the Anti Masonic party, the Know Nothings, etc. that rose up after the Compromise of 1850 bifurcated the Whig party into N and S wings and destroyed them as a national party.

That being said, ballot laws access laws, campaign finance, etc. were very different then now. The two parties have basically built a duopoly based on the power of the states to regulate elections and they loathe outsiders as threats to their grift.

True. So I'd say they killed 20% of military age men in five fucking years. Military age was generally 14 to 32 so we could easily lower the number of males to something less than 3.2M which would boost the percentage killed of military age.

Who the hell are we to take their best and brightest, young men of working and fighting ages, their future doctors or teachers and have them here as permanent fixtures? Those nations will never recover, return to productive forces.

Same with that idiotic Temporary Protected Status. Working under the table for homebuilders and/or panhandling and/or prostitution are not US visa-related jobs.

Everyone pretends they have those US citizen relatives and then they're on the dole, with 'reparation' funds to send back over the border to numerous nations, some of which have been on Temporary Protected status for decades, ergo ensuring their individual, former citizens have at least 3 kids per "family", all 'made in the USA.'

Cromwell's Levelers, the French riots of the Fronde during the regency of Louis XIV, the Commune of 1870's, the urban Anabaptists in Germany and so on.

Russia was the first place that leftism took power aside from the brief French Revolutionary government and Russia leveraged the disgust of the thinking classes in the West for the needless slaughter of WWI.

Posted by: Skip at January 25, 2024 03:29 PM (fwDg9)

1. I would.
2. From my perspective they came from Mexico. I would return them to Mexico and then it's someone else's problem.

442 >>> 399 Here is my border control proposal
All illegals/dreamers/DACA/etc are dropped on the Mexican side of the border, after all their property in the US is seized.
Instead of a wall we lay land mines
Anyone resisting sending the invading colonizers home will be charged with treason and if found guilty hung
Any bureaucrat that signed off on aid for an illegal gets 1 year in jail per incident.
Sound good?

Posted by: Braenyard at January 25, 2024 03:29 PM (Lf+TO)

Justifying shoveling our soldiers and wealth into a foreign war because Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev is as stupid a pretext as being afraid of birds since they fly like demons. You give all the profit to profiteers in Congress and DC and spend your future and your children into debt slavery because of it

THEY ARE AL DEAD AND THE NATION THEY LED IS COLLAPSED AND DESTROYED.

You are fighting ghosts. You are fighting the past. You can either learn from the past or lie about it, because fighting it is impossible. Ghosts cannot be defeated, they must be ignored.

453 In an effort to encourage the discovery of more treatment and diagnostic options in the medical field, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finalized a rule allowing certain clinical trials to operate without obtaining informed consent from participants.

Posted by: SMOD at January 25, 2024 03:23 PM (RHGPo)

In a rational society, that would spell virtually the end of clinical trials -- except for idiots who are only too happy to gamble with their lives for a little cash.

454 > according to this Mormon, Mormons do not believe that they get their own planet when they die

Mormons believe there are different degrees of glory that people may attain in God's Kingdom. The highest degree is the full presence of God. Mormons believe that in Heaven, you don't just sit around and play harps all day or chill with friends, you continue to do God's work, which is to bring to pass the Eternal Life of Man.

So no, we don't believe we "get a planet." We believe we'll live with God if He judges us worthy to do so. We do, however, believe we'll do Godly work by building and creating.

461 Why are all our supposed representatives working so tirelessly against our interests on this issue? Every golf course in the country is maintained by illegals; illegals do the grounds work at every resort; virtually every landscaping crew is illegal except the guy whose name is on the trucks. Are the golf courses, the resorts and lawn care companies such powerful special interest groups that they trump the expressed interests of the vast majority of the citizenry?

462 I'm waiting for them to blow the smoke out their ass about a "high technology" "virtual wall."

The only high technology I'm interested in is AFTER a 40ft wall is built. Then I'm all for motion detecting AI driven 30-cal machine guns in the 300yrd wide no-mans-land razor-wire filled zone that is behind the wall.

Better yet, imagine how many people would pay for the opportunity to control an internet connected machine gun instead of computers doing the trigger pull. Pay your money and get put into a queue for your turn at the trigger.

475 Western Europe is busy committing suicide. Oddly, it does seem like majorities of the electorate want it that way.

Posted by: Chuck Martel

How do you know that? Do Americans want the US to be a turd world country? I find it strange that people who live in a country where pretty much every strategic decision made for the last 70 years has clearly been made against their interests lack the intelligence/humility to understand that this is true of much of the rest of the West. But the average white American worships Israel and Africans, and despises Europeans so...

Europe is not nearly as diverse as your former country.
