"The Border Never Closes:" Democrat Senator Chris Murphy Admits The Border "Deal," Which Biden Claims Authorizes Him to Close the Border, Will Never, Ever Close the Border
Chris Murphy brags about how pro-immigration the "deal" is. I believe this part of it.
It's "bipartisan" because Corporate Fake Republicans like McConnell and Lankford and Thune and Corwyn are and always have been open borders fanatics who must be driven from office if the Republic is to be saved.
Chris Murphy
@ChrisMurphyCT Minutes ago, the text of the bipartisan national security funding bill was released. It: -funds Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian relief
-secures our border and reforms our asylum law 1/ As the co-author of the immigration provisions, here's a THREAD on the key elements:
2/ First - it would be easy to just keep immigration and border policy as a political cudgel for another 40 years. But politics at its best is about finding bipartisan compromise on the toughest issues. That's what we've done here. Here's a snapshot of what's in the bill.
Non-adversarial proceedings = no one checking the illegals' fake claims of political persecution which makes them eligible for asylum. As Brett Weinstein said (see the sidebar), these illegal aliens make no claims of political persecution when en route to the US. They all admit they're crossing the border for economic reasons. It's only when they get to the border and are given a guide to defrauding the US government and its citizens by leftwing Soros-funded NGOs that they discover they're supposed to lie and claim they're seeking political asylum.
Chris Murphy
@ChrisMurphyCT 3/ A quicker, fairer asylum process. No more 10 yr wait. Claims processed in a non-detained, non-adversarial way in 6 months.
A slightly higher asylum screening standard at the border."Slightly." LOL.
Also, no more waiting for work permits. Most asylum seekers can work immediately.So there's even more incentive to illegally cross the border and make false political asylum claims?
Perfect! No one can be denied entry again -- and if we do deny a terrorist entry, we have to pay for their lawyer to fight the denial.
4/ A brand new right to legal representation for all immigrants. Remember when Trump denied lawyers to victims of the Muslim ban? Never again.
And...the first ever government paid-for lawyers for young unaccompanied minors. A long standing injustice righted.Boy this "deal" sure seems awfully stacked on the "benefits for illegals" side of the "deal." Here's "the border never closes" line: He makes it clear that even when illegals exceed 5,000 per day (or 150,000 per 30-day month, 20,000 higher than the absolute peak monthly illegal immigration under Trump), the border is not closed. Illegals are just processed at official ports of entry rather than ad hoc at the border.
It's not even closing the border, as Biden has repeatedly claimed it was -- it's just "funneling" the illegals to official points of entry, where the law already requires aliens to enter through. Now Murphy admits that this power merely to "funnel" illegals to ports of entry is only usable a "limited number of days per year."
5/ A requirement the President to funnel asylum claims to the land ports of entry when more than 5,000 people cross a day. The border never closes, but claims must be processed at the ports.
Ah-ha! Even when Biden "closes the border," which Murphy admits never happens, but instead just results in claims being processed at ports of entry, exceptions are still made for "emergency cases!" And all of these people are already lying about being political asylum seekers! But they'll never be coached into also claiming "emergency" status, huh? This nasty skull-faced catamite James Lankford is in full-court lying mode:
This allows for a more a more orderly, humane asylum processing system. 6/ But...important checks on that power. It can only be used for a limited number of days per year. It sunsets in 3 years. Emergency cases that show up in between the ports still need to be accepted. The ports must process a minimum of 1400 claims a day.
Really?
Sen. James Lankford
@SenatorLankford The Border Emergency Authority has been the most misunderstood or maybe just misrepresented parts of the bill. Some people have said it would mean 5,000 people a day are coming into the country every day. That is absurd and untrue
The emergency authority is not designed to let 5,000 people in, it is designed to close the border and turn 5,000 people around.
Yeahhhhhhh right. I don't want to start any rumors, but James Lankford looks like the kind of guy who funnels illegal trespassers into his own ports of entry, if you catch my meaning.
The Border Emergency Authority only lasts 3 yrs to force this Admin to shut down the border & to give time for the next POTUS to hire more agents & more officers. After three years, the emergency authority expires because we should have regained full control of our border by then
Julio Rosas
@Julio_Rosas11 I've been covering the border since 2019 and this border bill is exactly what's wrong with how D.C. tries to "fix" a problem: Spends more money, gives more power to the feds, and doesn't actually solve the problem. Again, a bill from Congress is not needed to solve the acute problem at the border. Biden just needs to undo the executive orders he signed on day one. The historic influx of illegal immigrants was started by the policies his administration has recklessly pursued.
Nick Searcy, iNSURRECTIONAL FILM & TELEVISION STARMike Johnson restates: this bill says "the border never closes," despite Biden's and Lankford's claims to the contrary, and is dead on arrival.
@yesnicksearcy You are compromised and you have been exposed. No one will ever believe you again.
Neoliberal tough-guy Dan Crenshaw, on the other hand, is mocking people opposed to the bill, calling their claims "bizarre."
Speaker Mike Johnson
@SpeakerJohnson I've seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won't come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, "the border never closes." If this bill reaches the House, it will be dead on arrival.
Dan Crenshaw"lol." Fucking scumbag.
@DanCrenshawTX
Unfortunately there's a lot of emotion about this border deal and no analysis of the facts by people who should know better. Many people (who are apparently very fast readers!) have already tweeted completely false statements about the legislation. Gonna be a great week, lol!
Tune in for an objective look at this border deal as I read through it. Just facts. Not emotion. It's important to address some of the more bizarre concerns right away. "Why do we need new laws? Isn't current law enough?" Obviously we do need new laws. That's why Republicans passed HR2, which was mostly new immigration law. Those advocating for HR2 can't also claim we don't need new laws. This bill isn't HR2, but my simple standard will be "does it decrease illegal immigration or not?" And if we didn't need new laws, why was immigration so out of control even when Trump was President? Our laws have too many loopholes. Trump had to make an international agreement with Mexico to get the border under control. It surprises me that I have to say this, but I will: WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RELY ON MEXICO TO SECURE OUR BORDER. We should be able to rely on laws that are clear enough so that no President can bypass them.This is so stupid -- people are saying "we don't need new laws" to rebut Biden's claim he needs legal authority to enforce the border. He already has that authority -- he is currently choosing not to use that authority. He wants goodies for illegals in exchange for... well, for nothing. While this bill gives him the authority to close the border -- I mean, funnel illegals to ports of entry -- when and only when illegal crossings exceed 5000 per day, nothing in the law requires him to exercise this authority. We are granting Biden and Schumer everything they want, and in exchange, we give Biden discretionary authority to close the border -- I mean, funnel illegals to ports of entry -- if he feels like using it. Thusfar in his presidency, he has not chosen to enforce the border at all. He's actually taken Texas to court for daring to seal off parts of their own border! Why would Eyepatch John McCain think he can lie to us and make us believe Biden's going to become Joe Border Hawk with this discretionary authority? Which is barely any new authority at all! If more than 5000 illegals cross in one day, Biden can -- if he feels like it -- "funnel excess illegals to official ports of entry." How does this help protect the border? It doesn't. It makes it officially open. And fuck this neocon cunt for pretending otherwise. Is there no one in his district who will man up and run against him?
An utter disaster. Here’s a thread of the Dems bragging about what an open-borders victory this bill would be.
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 5, 2024
As Murphy puts it “The Border NEVER closes!” https://t.co/dvSbi6sp9O
Not only does this bill codify 1.5 million illegal border crossings into law, but the "border emergency" that automatically gets implemented at 5,000 crossings per day in a week can be overturned by Joe Biden.

“There are some in the Senate and in the House who are desperately trying to sabotage it for other reasons. Maybe they think that securing the border would help [President] Biden politically. Which, of course it would, but I want to secure the border. That’s what I told my voters I would do,” Crenshaw said.
Asked about Trump, though, Crenshaw told a CNN reporter to not “create some kind of drama here.”
“Stop instigating against border security,” Crenshaw said. “If the bill sucks, the bill sucks. But we don’t know if the bill sucks.”

This fight illustrates why Biden chooses to ignore faithful execution of law, and instead acts like a King. He cannot get Congress to pass a law allowing him to do what he's been doing, so he just ramps up HIS illegality, because he knows no one can stop him.
Our system depends on virtuous people faithfully executing our duly-passed laws. What we have is rampant criminality.

The new immigration bill does not completely shut down the border. Instead, it aims to enhance border security and address challenges related to migration. The bill includes provisions to tighten the asylum system, improve infrastructure, and manage the record-high crossings at the southern border. While it seeks to strengthen security measures, it does not result in a complete closure of the border.

Who does that hurt the most?
Then again with cvcks like Eyepatch walking the fine line maybe the Dims will be able to blame the illegal invasion on those "extremist" MAGAites and their "obstruction" though I doubt it.

Never assume. Critters like Crenshaw get reelected because they spend gobs of money from Uniparty donors and because the GOPe cheats in primaries by having open primaries, picayune and obscure campaign rule application, splintered congressional districts where there is no commonality, lawfare against potential opponents, and suburban voters who haven't had their ass reamed yet by what Brandon and the Uniparty have been doing.
In far too many districts, the voters are ignorant, not stupid but lack the means of getting alternative information. Thus, that is why the GOP Uniparty participates and approves of censoring social media. They already have teh MSM and Conservative Media TM (paid propaganda by uniparty donors) in the bag.

It's like the Fed Res bank saying the GOAL is 'only' 3% inflation per yer... due to compound interest, that is 80% decrease in buying power over 20 years.

The most hilarious part of Dodgeball is the hissy fit the Director put on film when he was forced to change his ending.
When they roll out the treasure box, it says "Deus Ex Machina" on it. That's there because the director wanted the team to lose, but audience reaction got the studio nervous. They forced him to change the ending. The Director had a hissy fit because he's a true auteur and his vision was being muddled.
Think about it:
1. He threw a hissy fit over this
2. He thought DODGEBALL was art, not a silly comedy with loads of middle school humor
That's real comedy.

@SputnikInt
.
The news outlet took to the streets to ask Russians what their opinion of Tucker was.
Here is what they had to say:
“He is known for telling the truth.”
“He is the bravest and most courageous American journalist today.”
“I deeply admire his courage.”
“His rationality, logic, and understanding of good and evil, are qualities worthy of respect.”
“He provides a very good presentation of information with a good sense of humor.”
“I am delighted that he came to Russia.”

They never quite say why.
The claim I've seen is that if we don't fight Putin in Ukraine, he'll march across Europe. Some people also claim that if we don't fight Putin in Europe, China will sense weakness and get sporty.
I don't believe either claim for many reasons.
For one, China already senses weakness. Our POTUS is the weakest person in office the nation has ever seen. Also, I don't believe Russia has the economic base to support a march across Europe. Even if they did, it's not our problem.

Jameson Ellis is running against Dan Crenshaw in the GOP Primary. All I know about him is that he ran 2 years ago, didn't win, is running again, and still all the people who whine about Crenshaw won't bother ALSO promoting the guy who is running against him.
He's not Dan Crenshaw, which is why if you live in District 2 in Texas, you should vote for him in the GOP Primary.

You passing on your pronouncements on how stupid and low class everyone is solves nothing.
we laugh at the DU because they say what they think is required for their self image. Are you saying what is expected too?
I suspect you are, and it pisses me off, because actual thought is required to solve problems. Posturing doesn't solve a thing though it allows the "correct" definition of the problem. Which can also hide any possible solution as well.
to do a call-back to illustrate my point: as Orwell originally wrote the book, Winston Smith defines his problem, "2+2=" but he can never find the correct answer, because the correct answer violates what he has come to internalize. He cannot shake off the required answer even if it is wrong. "it cannot be solved because the approved answer, even if wrong, is required" He understand the approved answer is wrong and he is forbidden to think it. As such he is forever a prisoner of IngSoc even in his mind.
This pisses me off.

I don't doubt many fought well and bravely. It's in your self interest to do so. Anyone who did deserves respect.
I wasn't there, but from people I know who were, draftees were more likely to fight with authority. They were more likely to not follow rules and regulations if they weren't being supervised closely. They were more likely to commit serious crimes that got them discharged.
They were more likely to get home and assist in the political movement that hurt the population's political will and got people killed in theater.
But this is all second hand information. If you have personal knowledge, then you almost certainly know better than I.

That's Dan Crenshaw today. So, yeah, "Eyepatch McCain" is a good tag for him.
