They don’t care about the border. “The border” is a dog whistle for racism. If they cared, they wouldn’t have voted against the most recent bill. They would have spent actual money on illegal crossings. They would have earmarked funds for better holding facilities. The list goes on.
Illegal crossings really aren’t a huge issue. Most illegal immigrants enter legally and just don’t leave.
Yea, bigger problem is how fucked our ports of entry are at the moment. Not enough space or staff to process everything that crosses.
If this really is an invasion like the GOP wants to claim, let’s move some of that national “defense” budget into more ICE agents and more lawyers/judges in our immigration courts to process people. Let’s weed out these supposed invaders. (Psssst I’m willing to bet a lot of money that there won’t be any)
