He references the border patrol agents who are pictured in the Rio Grande River. Slo Joe by his statement condemns the agents for whipping illegal aliens trying to get into the U.D. The photographer taken the picture said that this never happened. what is seen is simply the ends of the reins in the air. Many of us in flyover country who ride know that the reins are loose in the end.
Not to be deterred Slo Joe as referenced above said they will pay.
Illegal immigrants? They get citizenship. The police defending the border? They get punished. And Democrats can't understand why the Biden Administration has record amounts crossing the border.

How are illegal immigrants getting citizenship?
Please cite examples of this happening, along with the changes this administration has made to policy which allows this to happen.
Koobookie, why do you think all these people were given the green light to show up at our border and were given the promise of free health care? Do we really need millions more poor people to use taxpayer funded services like health care, public schools, housing, etc.? Of course we don't since we can't even handle all the homeless people on our streets and the vets who get horrible health care. Your party needs to expand it's base, and they can't expand their base with logical policies that make America stronger. The only way your party expands is if your great leaders increase the number of people who depend on the government. This massive bill they are trying to jam through is full of all kinds of free services that will never go away and Democrats know they can run on a Santa Claus platform while calling Republicans Scrooge for wanting to stop them.
Poor immigrants are the perfect population to be turned into life long Democrat voters, so while they are not citizens now, that is the goal of Democrats and they will likely push for that as one their next big issues. They will use immigrant children to tug at our heart strings so we will let mom and dad become citizens. It's actually a brilliant socialist plan to destroy the middle class and create a one party government. As HA would say... "wait for it".
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
How are the illegal immigrants getting citizenship? Please, Rick & Fred, explain that. Tell me, in detail, how they are fast tracked to becoming citizens. I've had friends and colleagues who have spent years wading through the system to become citizens in the usual, and legal, method. Is there some sort of special "green light" system for those that cross the border illegally? Please, tell me.
I hope you realize that they are not getting free stuff. Illegal immigrants don't get social security payments, or food stamps, or even free healthcare, because if they took advantage of any of that, they will be caught & deported.
I'm just telling you my opinion based on what I've learned about how Democrats operate.. you are welcome to disagree. Obama, with the stroke of a pen, changed immigration law for 'dreamers'. Biden and every candidate on the debate staged raised their hands when asked if they would give free health care to illegal immigrants. If you use common sense, you know that it's really not a great ideal to allow millions of people to illegally pour over the border without eventually allowing them to become citizens.
One of the few things I respect about Democrats is the way they fight for what they want, while Republicans are easy to roll over for fear that the media will pick on them. Democrats are about to give out free college, free child care, and a whole lot of other free stuff without getting the approval of the people who will be paying for it all.
If you don't think the Democrats plan to fast track citizenship for all the people they are letting in the easy way, please state that now and we will see who is right by the time Biden's term is over.

Illegals are given housing and aid as they are being settled throughout the nation. What do you think their status is legally? They will be processed as economic refugees or refugees who are fleeing dangerous environments like the Boston Marathon Bombing Brothers. Some may eventually be sent back, but most will remain. Do you really think Haitians with a third grade education will be valuable additions to America's economy?
We need to make legal immigration easier. Let's pick the best that the world sends us, not the worst.

If you don't mind me asking, do you or do you not think Democrats will push to legalize illegal immigrants on a fast track before Biden's term is over?
