Republican elites like that cheap labor. That’s one reason they haven’t done anything about the problem for decades.

I hope when they bring it back that they add some immigration reform to it. “They need to come here legally!11!!” And we need to expand legal methods for that to happen.

And a 25 minute speech where she said a WHOLE LOT rather than hours+ of rambling aimless abstract nonsense.
That was a VERY well done speech. 🎤

It says everything about Trump. He’s running for the office to protect himself. Not to protect the USA.
He’s got no policies other than if anybody isn’t mme, then they’re bad.
>In recent weeks[January 2024], Trump has been lobbying Republicans both in private conversations and in public statements on social media to oppose the border compromise being delicately hashed out in the Senate, according to GOP sources familiar with the conversations – in part because he wants to campaign on the issue this November and doesn’t want President Joe Biden to score a victory in an area where he is politically vulnerable.
# Trump brags about efforts to stymie border talks: ‘Please blame it on me’
>Republican front-runner Donald Trump said he wants to be held responsible for blocking a bipartisan border security bill in the works in the Senate as President Biden seeks emergency authority to rein in a record surge of unauthorized border crossings.
>“As the leader of our party, there is zero chance I will support this horrible open borders betrayal of America,” Trump told a rowdy crowd of supporters at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, ahead of the state’s presidential caucus on Feb. 8. “I’ll fight it all the way. A lot of the senators are trying to say, respectfully, they’re blaming it on me. I say, that’s okay. Please blame it on me. Please.”
Trump ran in 2016 on Immigration and Fear Mongering. He had 4 years. He fixed NOTHING.

It’s a gutsy move to take this issue head-on, but a wise one. I think it offers more upside than downside, and it’s in her interest to pin border dysfunction on Trump and paint herself as the person offering constructive solutions to an acknowledged problem. She has the receipts on Trump sabotaging progress to cynically keep the problem alive, and I think she should keep dunking on him.

Told my coworker this exact thing earlier this week. He agreed with me but said he “just can’t vote for that bitch” and called her uppity or something. I do this thing where I tell them policies and ideas using vague terms like “they” and then watch them do mental gymnastics when they disagree with Republicans and agree with democrats.

As much as I understand how hypocritical Trump is and yes, what he did with the border bill is hypocritical af and also he’s a loser bitch. But I really don’t like that bill man. It IS the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades which is just not needed bro. Immigration is good and is not a danger to anyone in this country lol.
