This is a conflation of topics in some sense. almost half of those paroled into the US weren't illegal immigrants. they used a phone app to schedule a meeting at a US border crossing, were screened, and then allowed to enter legally. i dont like that, personally, but it's a legal process allowed for the executive office to use. that can be restricted by congress, so far it hasn't. so that's something like 420k out of the 1 million.

then there's afghanistan and ukranian refugees, comprising another 273k out of the 1 million.

meaning when you read "1 million allowed" its not 1 million illegal immigrants via catch and release.

many of those who are catch and release claim political assylum from cuba, haiti, venezuala, etc. mainly caused by a lack of detention centers to house them, and lack of funding to deport them.

biden tried to push a 14$ billion funding package for ICE, republicans rejected it because it didnt contain wall funding (as if the wall was that cheap), and due to a lot of false narratives about how Biden wont let ICE do their job. Ice is doing their job, they're catching record numbers of illegals, detaining record numbers, deporting record numbers, capturing record numbers of drugs and contraband, etc.


for the record i dont like biden's border policy, and i do think his rhetoric has caused an influx in immigration. its just that context is important. such as the fact that afaik the "vast majority" aren't being released, but i'd be happy to read numbers on that.

I do believe that actively disobeying federal law makes you a criminal, and criminals are dealt with accordingly

Okay China

i think you and most people aren't reading the OP correctly. Texas citizens and texas guard are the ones with the gripe. if an armed conflict happens it wont be the US federal govt who starts it, per the OP's hypothetical. biden wont sent in the national guard preemptively, it would be in response to an issue. china didnt wait for citizens to get violent, they rolled in tanks to stop protests.

Texas is in the right. No matter how much word finagling goes on.
Obama and now Biden, both tried and are still trying to allow for the invasion of the USA.

I don't care who you are... letting ILLEGAL immigrants into the US is against Federal Law.

I think it's typical hypocrisy and lie since big employers & recruiters (largely voting "republican") want this cheap labor. It's just a political tool. It is well know these people will cry wolf while never fixing it.

Your "opinion" has been noted.
Have you bought your burka, yet?

Your niece did and i must say it was FUCKING good.

This is correct. If anything really happens it will likely be provoked by Texas. Interesting responses so far. I never got to respond to your last “dem boys” slanderous hate speech when you were talking Green Bay, but stop being a hater dude.
