  1. TRUMP 2024 !!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 SICK OF ALL THIS democrat 💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡🤡

  2. What we need to ask is how many of the 8 million illegals are in politicians neighborhoods. Zero

  3. NO MORE MONEY!! We taxpayers are not the worlds piggy bank. Close the borders and deport. Its the only answer to this insanity.

  4. He is not doing everything he can we did not have this problem before BIDEN .US IS BANKROPT .

  5. The us can not aforth to maintain those people the kids go to school will cost money the old people go on weaifair .some the yong ones they not going to work either some be selling drogs mugging stealing robbing .

  6. Wake up! Where does Abbott get the authority to block the Federal Government or even any American citizen from accessing the US border? This man is lawless and dangerous and Biden is fuckingly weak!

  7. It is all Trump's fault. Listen to what Robert Reich said about the Trump tactics:

  8. This mass migration sure isn't carbon neutral

  9. Why Are So Few Democrats Talking About the “Wide Open Border”? A National Security Issue.

    It is interesting that 26 Republican state attorney generals signed a letter supporting the governor of Texas concerning “illegal Immigration”. Where are the Democrat states? No response. They don't care? Not one independent democrat voice says – "There is a serious problem at the southern border". I have not heard the Majority leader in the Senate or the Democratic Minority leader in the House push the agenda of slowing down the huge number of "illegal migrants".

    Republicans and Democrats cannot reach an agreement in the House. Republicans and Democrats cannot reach an agreement in the Senate. The House and Senate cannot reach an agreement with each other. The President cannot reach an agreement with the Republicans. Usually when a situation develops like this, the President goes on the road and tries to sell his solution to the American citizens. Just one problem. The President was recently (Jan 15th) asked by a reporter: Do you think there is a crisis at the southern border? Joe’s answer: NO. Houston, I think we have a problem!

    The Democratic mayors of NYC, Chicago, and Denver complain continuously about lack of resources. However, they never mention closing down the border as a solution. Their response for their cities is only, "I need more federal money". Which means more taxpayer money from all fifty states. The major democratic cities are saying, I have serious problems, so everyone in the US, send me some of your tax dollars.

    Are there no independent Democratic thinkers in the House or Senate. They all are like sheep. Democrats hold 264 seats in the House and Senate. The “wide open Joe Biden border” is a National Security risk. In National Security there are no Republicans or Democrats, it is an American issue.

    For the Democrats, the “wide open Joe Biden borders require conformity to the majority or a group mentality. Individuals are not making independent decisions. They all follow the “lead donkey” and they all do the “donkey dance” together. Usually you see this type of behavior in totalitarian organizations, which is not a healthy sign for democracy.

    Joe, are you listening? I know you like to talk about democracy for America.

  10. I thought democrats wanted open borders?

  11. Questions CULTural marxists/liberals/democrats/communists/lenininists love to ignore because answering them will expose their fraud and will likely include President Trump’s name who has nothing to do with the questions:

    How is codifying 1.8 million illegals per year being allowed into the interior ‘securing the border’ just so Biden will do what is already the law and stop all of them? Extortion anyone?

    You seriously think these max per day limits will be enforced and then all future presidents are then required to allow this 1.8 million a year as mater of law?

    Do you the number of Chinese nationals coming in through the border has been increasing exponentially in last 3 years?

    You ready for 500 million Chinese to invade? Did I mention China’s population has been decreasing since 2021 for first time in their entire history?

  12. Biden is ready to give them the money. Talk to the Republicans.

  13. The American people can not work any harder, so more money and letting more people into the country is not the answer. I am almost 70 and have to work 62 hrs a wk to keep my home. Cities need more money, schools need more money, it's costing more to take care of our roads, for electricity and insurance for our homes and cars. We can't do any more. If you want to invite the world to our country, think about what you are doing. We need more police, firemen, teachers, more stores to supply food and what about water? Every year we have water restrictions because of water shortages. How do we make more water? We need more doctors, nurses and hospitals. We need more schools, we need more houses we need more land.. We need and need while we slowly watch this beautiful country being destroyed by power hungry politicians. Pollution is a concern. We have more cars on the roads sitting in traffic. We have more garbage. Where will that go? Allowing people from all over the world to come and live within the US, where do we put them? How do we support them till they can afford the American dream, the same dream Americans are struggling all their lives to achieve. These people won't be able to support themselves here for many years. Luckily I don't have a lot of time left here but what about our grandchildren? Slow down. No more. You are killing us.

  14. Says the guy who supports open borders

  15. Blame Trump, Brandon's solution and MSNBC'S Mission

  16. Talk to the MAGA crazies — they are the ones stopping meaningful progress.

  17. “When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wrong him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” (Lev. 19:33-34)

  19. I like how the Republicans have decided that 2024 is already another loss, already writing it off to bad choices of candidates.

  20. Biden is a liar. Biden can close it right noe without any legistlation passed.

    Niden Harris administration created this crisis and now they think you are dumb enough to believe they need to negotiate the sovereignty of our country.

  21. The president has no idea he is in control , Pick up a pen Joe . You did it on day one and started this crap . These 18-35 year old men are not coming to pick fruit .

  22. Why is the host asking the same question he already got the man's answer to? Prepare for follow up questions… Not that tough

  23. Why doesn't Biden just shut the border by Executive Order?

  24. So a bad deal is better than no deal at all especially when it contains provisions for the illegals to be granted citizenship. Help me understand that mentality.😅

  25. He should end our sanctuary state status if he is serious about immigration reform.

  26. Biden could enforce the immigration laws already on the books. The Senate and Biden could pass HR 2 Secure the Border Act that the Senate has been sitting on since May 11, 2023 when GOP Congress passed it. Biden puts other countries first before Americans.

  27. All Biden has to do is close the border. When your pipes bust, you turn off the water.

  28. This on the Biden White House website under priorities. I did add a few snarky comments. **Immigration** President Biden will reform our long-broken and chaotic immigration system. President Biden’s strategy is centered on the basic premise that our country is safer, stronger, and more prosperous with a fair and orderly immigration system that welcomes (illegal) immigrants, keeps families together, and allows people across the country—both NEWLY arrived (illegal) immigrants and people who have lived here for generations (illegally)—to more fully contribute to our country (vote Democrat).

    Biden could enforce the laws ALREADY on the books.
