Heard on the news the other day some kind of amendment or law was just passed that everybody in PA who receives or renews a PA driver's license are now automatically registered to vote and that illegal aliens can receive PA driver's license, meaning illegal aliens with PA driver's license can vote...

i'd be more surprised if they weren't voting.

22-Sep-23
This is totally untrue. Here are the facts:

“Residents obtaining or renewing licenses or IDs must provide proof of residency, age, citizenship and identity — the same qualifications that apply to voting. Therefore, a person who qualifies for a license or ID also qualifies to be a registered voter, eliminating any doubt about security.”

From: Zbone

Where did you get that Phil, that is not what I seen on the news, including Biden's pleasure... Why were your democrats and your representatives so happy for Illegals to obtain PA driver's license? Seen it with my own eyes on TV...

If you didn’t see that in the news then I guess you’re watching fake or biased news.

That came from the governor’s announcement. I don’t know what you mean about “my democrats”. I don’t have any democrats. I’m just reporting what I saw.

Here is a link from ABC News on this.

From: Zbone
22-Sep-23
You made my case Phil: "Automatic voter registration (AVR) is the process by which people are automatically registered to vote as they enter their personal information into other government agencies, such as a Department of Motor Vehicles."

Illegal aliens are able to obtain PA drivers licenses....

From: RutnStrut
22-Sep-23
"“Residents obtaining or renewing licenses or IDs must provide proof of residency, age, citizenship and identity — the same qualifications that apply to voting."

But voter ID is racist. The dems said so.

22-Sep-23
Zbone, you read what the generic description of AVR, not how PA is doing it. According to what is reported illegal aliens are not able to get registered. If their qualifications do not match they are not shown the screens.

“ A Pennsylvania Department of State spokesperson told ABC News that people who are not eligible to vote will not be presented with the voter registration screen during any of the DMV processes.”

From: Beendare
22-Sep-23
And to think, there are still a boatload of people that are too stupid to see what the Dem party is doing; 1) advertise that anyone criminal, terrorist or whomever can cross the border, 2) they get an Id 3) they can get a multitude of freebies; $300 a week in unemployment, free healthcare, food stamps, free phone, etc

ALL contrived to keep Democrats in power.

Nevermind the crime the Avg hard working citizen is subjected to Nevermind that this takes jobs and limited resources from citizens Nevermind its more taxes, more bureaucracy, and more pressure on cities, states EVERYONE….weakening our country

Thats what the Dem party is pushing…..its amazing so many fall for it. Dem viters are almost as smart as the new Gun Czar, Harris

Okay so you are saying Illegal aliens are not acquiring PA drivers licenses? I'll believe that when I see it... He!!, Colorado sent out 30,000 voter registrations to non-citizens by mistake (so they say)... It takes 30,000 before they realize it was a mistake.... Give me a break...

Voting should require at least as much paperwork, background checking and fees as buying a gun.

Or, the right to keep and bear arms should be as easy as voting.

The wrong people running countries and controlling military power have killed far more people throughout history than citizens owning arms have.

Voting is dangerous.

From: Matt
23-Sep-23
A bunch of states have laws that allow for enrollment of ELIGIBLE voters when they renew their driver's licenses. Illegal aliens are NOT ELIGIBLE.

Some people will believe anything that justifies their misdirected rage rather than research whether it is true or not. This sort of ignorance is killing this country.

From: Glunt@work

It doesn't help that PA had a glitch in their DMV system that allowed noncitizens to register to vote in the past.

Matt, you're missing the point - for some people, doing the 'outrage dance' is therapeutic >;-)

23-Sep-23
It was not therapeutic but it was gratifying to tell them to buy their own hunting land, at the inflated prices and bank interest they voted for. Damn that was great. With the inflation they voted for, my former hunting group went from barely a pot to piss in, to no pot. The middle income producers shot their foots with their woke vote. Throw them out now and enjoy life.

Not sure about misdirected rage, but there has been a push at least in my state to get illegal aliens to vote. Why not, I mean why would they not vote for the people allowing you to stay in the country, give you free housing, food, healthcare, etc., as opposed to the politicians looking to send you back to your home country? So the concept is there to push to allow voting by illegals. That should absolutely outrage honest, hard working Americans and even immigrants that legally went through the process to become an American citizen.

"Here is a link from ABC News on this."

from the link...

"Making it easier for uninterested, uninformed people to wield political power will inevitably lead to terrible political choices. It expands the pool of citizens to conscript into jury duty, and gives more votes to harvest," the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania said.

From: DanaC
23-Sep-23
They still have to go to the polls, or heck, drop their mail-in ballot in the mailbox. Many are too 'uninterested' to do even that.

The question of 'who gets to vote' has been talked round and round since Athens, BCE. As for jury duty, a jury of "uninterested, uninformed people" is exactly what a lot of defendants _deserve_. Their peers.

I've met 15 year olds who I would trust to vote intelligently, and 30 year olds who should not be allowed to drive. Why do we discriminate based on age?

Still not much discussion here on the weed-heads lying on their 4473's. Should they be allowed to vote? Buy guns legally?

It’s against federal law for noncitizen to vote in a federal election.

“Some people will believe anything that justifies their misdirected rage rather than research whether it is true or not. This sort of ignorance is killing this country.”

Spot on Matt. Worth repeating.

Some people are so willfully GULLIBLE.

23-Sep-23
"Except that's not outrage, it's *glee*"

we understand you are gleeful about the charges...you make that quite obvious. the "outrage" comes when people of your ilk insist...at every opportunity... trump is an existential threat to our very democracy.

"They still have to go to the polls, or heck, drop their mail-in ballot in the mailbox. Many are too 'uninterested' to do even that."

thats what makes "ballot harvesting" so problematic.

From: DanaC

" the "outrage" comes when people of your ilk insist...at every opportunity... trump is an existential threat to our very democracy. :"

And my *frustration" comes from the fact that so many of you are blithely oblivious to the threat. And will *remain* so even if/when they lock his ass up in Leavenworth. So, I choose to laugh and dance rather than weep bitter tears for the Republic. (For the record, I totally agree with those who say this country is f*ed, but suggesting that 'more Donald Trump' is the solution? Good gravy!)

Uh....if they're NOT, LEGAL CITIZENS......??? **** YES!!! I have a BIG problem with that!!!

Why do I have to obey every law to the T, especially FIREARM and TAX laws, but they can pick and chose what laws they choose to follow and suffer no consequence for their actions? What am I, garbage?

From: DanaC
23-Sep-23
Todd, I won't deny that *some* immigrants come here to take advantage of the benefits system', but this country was built by people looking to exchange honest work for a chance of a better life. But now, too many grand-children of those people refuse to believe that ANYONE wants the same chance. "All immigrants are lazy evil parasites" is too simplistic to take seriously, yet many have been 'in-fox-trinated' to believe just that.

'Dehumanization' is now, in some circles, a highly developed art form.

From: TGbow
23-Sep-23
"Some people are so willfully gullible"..that is a very true statement....the fact that Biden would get more than 10% of the vote in this country is proof of that.

On the other dide of the coin, just like in my own state...people keep voting for these so called "conservative" Republicans that keep doing the same thing the leftist Democrats are doing. You'd think people would figure it out after a while, giving they keep losing more of their liberties n paying more and more taxes. Big government is big government regardless of what banner it operates under

Another smoke enema. It's real simple, just FOLLOW THE ****ING LAWS, and you're WELCOME here! My ancestors did it. Quarantined on Ellis Island and the whole deal. Guess they were fools, huh?

Mizzou, I understand that in certain circles 'woke' is meant to be insulting but consider what UN-woke means. Oblivious to the hunger of children, poverty, disease, etc. "I got mine so F* you!"

But wait a minute.....I know most of you American hating wokesters will all be on board with the government paying reparations to people who were never slaves by people who never owned slaves....maybe I should get paid too, because my ancestors followed all the laws and now are made to look like fools for doing so! OKAY!!! Changed my mind! PAY UP!!!

From: DanaC
23-Sep-23
Nobody I know is proposing to let non-citizens/immigrants vote. BUT they should be afforded a clear path TO citizenship, just as my - and your - ancestors were.

My fathers' family didn't fill out any forms, they just walked south from Canada to New York state, bought some land and worked. Their kids' births were registered, hence citizenship.

From: Woods Walker
23-Sep-23
Then my ancestors were fools. They followed the laws, learned the language/culture, raised their kids as AMERICANS, some of who were crippled for life or DEAD after fighting for this country in 2 wars. Nice way to honor their sacrifice. Piss on their graves much?

From: DanaC
23-Sep-23
No, your ancestors just came *later* - laws were pretty slim in the early 1800's!

(FWIW one of my direct ancestors was in the Union army in the 1860's. My father was named after him.)

From: DanaC
23-Sep-23
And while your immigrant ancestors had to jump through hoops to become citizens, their children were *born* as citizens, courtesy of the US Constitution. Same as most families.

We are all in favor of that document, no? Actually that particular provision could and maybe should be revisited...

From: TGbow
23-Sep-23
Dana, I had ancestors that served on the opposite side. It's really interesting when it comes to family history. I knew a lady once years ago, her grandfather served in the Union army, a general. This lady showed me a document that was given to her grandfather, it was signed by Abe Lincoln. Wish we had cell phones back then, I would have taken a Pic of that document.

From: Woods Walker
23-Sep-23
No Dana, it wasn't the "early 1800's". About 100 years after that. Stop making up **** about me. And guess what, not too long after they did legally come here, immigration was stopped for a while due to the depression. You see, back then we had a government that actually CARED about the country and put US first before the rest of the world...imagine that.

From: Woods Walker
23-Sep-23
And one more thing......if you do LEGALLY vote here, as an AMERICAN CITIZEN, every voting document/form/ballot/etc. should be in ENGLISH, period.

But for some I guess it's asking too much to expect people to learn the language of the country they CHOSE to come to. How racist!

From: DanaC
23-Sep-23
WW, I was referring to MY family's history, not yours. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

From: Shinkers
23-Sep-23
FYI, Dana is saying that HIS ancestors came over in the early 1800s. That's why they didn't need to jump through the hoops.

From the article Zbone provided:

"Sean Morales-Doyle, director of the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, said the fact that the mistake was caught shows the system is working.

'It should show, first of all, that mistakes can happen, but secondly that there are checks in place to make sure mistakes don’t result in disaster,' Morales-Doyle said. 'It’s not good this happened. It appears to be a case of human error and a database error and not some conspiracy, which I think some critics would seize on.'"

Not everything is a conspiracy, but I understand it's hard to parse that out in the echo-chamber that is Bowsite.

Dana ~ BUT they should be afforded a clear path TO citizenship...

It seems to me there IS a clear path. Fill out application for a green card, get approved (or denied), come into country. Then apply to take citizenship test. Yes, it takes time. Even more time when the courts are overwhelmed with all the illegal entries. But, if it's worth doing, they should do it the right way. It's unfair to those doing it correctly, for literally millions of people to just walk in. My guess is that most of the migrants don't even want to become citizens, they will still get all the benefits of being here except for voting(?), and firearm ownership. And yes, their offspring will become citizens at birth.

My issue is not the folks that want to work. But we don't know who they are. They leave all ID's at the border. No drivers license, no passport, no birth certificate. No footprint at all. People from 150+ countries, including from adversarial countries. Not to mention the getaways and cartel. There will be another 9/11, it won't be on Biden's watch, but it will be due to his policies, and the next administration (R or D), or the one after that will be blamed. I know you don't like Trump, but I think he tried to keep the country safe. This administration is doing just the opposite.

So open the flood gates and let them all in without even having to purchase a ticket to ride. Give them everything they need on our dime, let them vote, let them drive, let them have guns without needing to register them.

Funny thing is, the people that voted for this, and dubbed their hometown a “sanctuary city”, are now screaming bloody murder that they no longer want the illegals in their self proclaimed “sanctuary city”. It’s quite convenient how it works out. Now they’re in the country, but nobody wants to take responsibility. They just want the votes, and any other fringe benefits they can glean from it.

Meanwhile, the folks that volunteered to fight and die for the freedoms we all enjoy, are being left on the streets to beg and rot. I suppose most of them would pridefully turn down the free hotel rooms that are currently being given to illegal aliens, but I bet they’d appreciate a little support from the country that they selflessly served! Start taking care of our veterans first…then maybe people wouldn’t be so bitter about having to deal with the inconvenience of the country becoming over populated, at twice the speed it would have without them.

Unless I missed it, I still haven’t seen any of the fools that support illegal immigration opening the doors to their homes and giving them a place to live. It’s almost as if they don’t trust illegal immigrants despite how insistent they are about us all accepting their presence. You voted for China joe because trump hurt your feelings, but Trump wouldn’t be selling out the country for more votes. Hell, he’s got "ninety- fu**ing one", not to mention, mostly bogus, charges against him, and he still has more support than China joe ever did, or ever will have. And the crooked lefties scratch their heads as to why that is! Lol!

Part of the country’s problem is similar to Bowsite. A small percentage of us really give a damn about what happens when we vote, if we even chose to take time out if our busy schedules to do so. Most Americans don’t take the time to understand the issues, much care what happens after the votes are counted. But it’s amazing how many will scramble to justify the obvious insanity of it, no matter how stupid it makes the look.

The next terror threat from outside is not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. And it isn’t the Mexicans we should be worried about. But as long as the Muslims and other middle eastern factions are woke, and don't offend anyone with mean tweets or racism, it’s not a problem. Unless your friends and family are affected. Which is statistically unlikely. So, let ‘em’ roll!

I think it speaks volumes that our mostly democratic sanctuary cities don't want immigrants shipped to them.

It's a constitutional right that all citizens get to vote, doesn’t matter if I agree with them. To be honest, I think the better the economy (the more people earning living wages) the less votes democrats will receive.

Welfare... plenty of people are truly disabled and could use some help. I'm ok with some of my taxes funding that. I work hard to be a productive citizen, give to my community, be a burden to noone, and support our church. I think the system need better vetting of recipients.

I didn't read all the posts here but if you infer that having a driver's license in CA gives the right to vote, that isn't true.

"When you apply for a driver’s license in California, do they automatically register you to vote, even if you're not a US citizen?

The California Motor Voter program does not automatically sign up noncitizens. One of the requirements for the program is being s citizen and resident of California.

There is a specific clause that prohibits holders of AB 60 drivers licenses from being eligible for the program. AB 60 licenses are given to undocumented immigrants."

I’m afraid we’re already past that point. The COVID shutdowns have killed American run small businesses, and homelessness, and rampant drug abuse has taken up the sidewalks in front of those shuttered stores and restaurants.

Consider the logistics of attempting a mass deportation at this point in the game. You might be able able to pull a few weeds, but you’ll never get all the roots. And eventually they take over the lawn.

Eventually the Dems will get away with granting mass citizenship to the illegals that are already here, once that happens the system won’t be able to handle the strain of processing all of those driver’s licenses, SS numbers, tax identifications,…etc, etc, etc. the burden will be thrust upon everyone that already holds citizenship. It’s all in the Democrat playbook. Bring the population of illegals up as quickly as possible, give them a little time to have numerous children, which will add to their population. Even though those kids will be citizens by birth, they’ll support their illegal elders by continuing to vote for the Democrats that allow them to stay. All they need to do is continue to cater to the illegal population, and they’re all but guaranteed to stay in power indefinitely.

Phil, I have seen over a dozen people with drivers licenses that I know are illegal.

I have no way of knowing if they voted.

I just renewed my drivers license and there is a multiple choice section on whether you are a citizen or not…. But you are not required to be a US citizen. I cannot remember the exact wording, but there is a section in there that plainly stated you do not have to say whether you are a US citizen or not.

That’s Democrat administrations opening the door for illegal immigrants.

Illegals have drivers licenses fact. The steel dossier was contrived by the Democrats fact I swear some of you democrat excuse makers are in denial and have no clue what your party is doing.

25-Sep-23
Beendare, it is legal in CA for aliens to have a driver’s license (AB60 license)..

Here is what the differences are:

1. What does an “AB 60 license” do? If you are undocumented, an AB 60 license lets you drive legally in the state provided you meet all other qualifications (such as insurance and passing a driver’s test).

The license can also be used as legal identification with California law enforcement agencies.

2. What can an AB 60 license NOT do? An AB 60 license is not valid for official federal purposes. Therefore it does NOT:

Make you eligible for employment, Allow you to register to vote, or Allow you to obtain public benefits. It also does not protect against discrimination from: Federal law enforcement agencies, or Law enforcement from other states.

Funny twist to this mess. Illegal, walked up to cop, I think it was San Diego. The cop said, where are you going to go? The illegal said "help wanted",, he said no, I mean what town are you going to, the guy said, " help wanted".. turned out that was only a few words in English the guy new. Cop just waved him off. A few weeks later the cop sees the guy going into a restaurant. Curious, he finds out the owner hired him as a dishwasher. Could not find a legal American, even in a college town to take the job in the last two years.........cop assured the owner, hey, that's your business. The cop sees the illegal working, looks at him, the illegal recognizes him and waves, and says " help wanted".... Came from a police union text.

Illegals should not be able to vote, period!!! It has nothing to do with how hard they work, their family life, the type of people they are or anything like that. I know many are good people that want a better life for their families. The mere fact they are called "illegal", "undocumented" or whatever term you want to use, they are not American citizens and should not be allowed to vote. Yes, we have American citizens on welfare and lazy as hell, but to me there is no gray area here. As others have said, there is a system in place to become a citizen here. If they are that hard working, then work through the system to become a legal American citizen, so they can earn the right to vote and participate like any other American citizen has the right to do. Not that hard to understand this concept.

I’m almost 60, and I’m finally getting to the point of being able to enjoy the finer things. A little financial freedom, and a few fun things. Telling people they can come here and have it all immediately is simply false advertising. Too many people think it’s ok to “sell” the American dream, by advertising it as such. “Ok, I’m in America now, where is my dream come true? I want it now!” When you open the gates and invite them in, it’s what they expect. The Democrats know it isn’t a reality, but they sell it that way to get the votes they need to stay on power.

“It's both. Improve border security AND improve the immigration process - for anyone who wants to *work*.”

That’s how it used to be. The folks that came through Ellis Island and went through the process the right way, did it with anticipation of a new foundation. Once they put in the work and achieved that foundation, they proudly built their lives with tenacity and determination. Many of them responsible for contributing some of Americas greatest accomplishments. I’m not describing anything we don’t already know.

The fact of the matter is, there are folks that will flat out tell you that we don’t have any open borders and it’s all Fox News lying to us about it. Even though we see the problem on TV and with our own eyes! Remember when border patrol was accused of “whipping” the immigrants?!?! It’s complete Bull***t!!! I’m not going to mention the fact that China Joe came right out and told us this was what he was going to do, yet, “WE”, (and I use the term loosely) apparently and overwhelmingly elected him. and in the process, voted against the guy that promised a secure border, and physically attempted to build it as such, calling him a racist and a bigot.

This administration put out an invitation to everyone outside of the country. Told them they were welcome to come in and stay. Then those poor gullible folks literally walked across the country, in anticipation of free admission. Many of them even had t-shirts that read, "Biden, please let us in!" How many of them have died or been victimized in some way, during their trip to a better life promised to them?

So please, explain to us how this isn’t happening by design. I know you hate trump, but you can’t say, with a straight face, he wouldn’t have done it better. Every elite Democrat currently in office lives behind a gate or some sort of fence for security. Yet when a Trump supporting lawyer tries to defend his property from trespassing by brandishing his weapon, the Democrats, take his weapon and call him a dangerous racist and a bigot. Are you kidding me?!!

Let’s take J6 for example. How could a democrat administration that thrives on their own personal security, allow J6 to take place? Trump even asked Pelosi to bolster security and she refused. So please, help us understand. Tell me I’m wrong when I say the Dem only use fences and walls, or the lack there of, to their own advantage.

Nancy Pelosi refused to denounce MS-13 as they rapidly spread throughout the country. Why would she possibly do that? They aren’t here to work! How many people with ill will towards Americans have taken up residence here? The cartels have an open and clear path to pollute the country with drugs, and kill our children with fentanyl.

Don’t get me wrong Dana, I’d ask Phil these questions, but every time the heat builds up in the kitchen, he heads for the basement. I’d really like hear how he justifies the reality of what the Democrats are doing to this country in an effort to stay in possession of the gavel. Please, please, please!…prove me wrong, I dare ya!

Dana, I don't think people hate immigrants, they hate the border being wide open with mass influx into this country. At least that is the case for me. When is enough, enough? As far as pawns, what are the border states supposed to do with the mass migration of immigrants from the southern border on a daily basis? You've heard the numbers, they cannot be sustained. Yea, its great that these big cities claim to be sanctuary cities, but now look what is happening. NYC, Chicago, etc. are crying now. Those same politicians in the sanctuary cities are now backtracking from what they previously said. Yet, this current administration is doing nothing about the issue, but worrying about the next election. Sending the illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities is not a game, if you are a sanctuary city, well thanks for the help, here you go.

Sending immigrants to the very cities that asked for them and offered them support is hatred? If those cities didn't actually want them or have the resources to do what they promised then maybe they're the ones using people as political pawns. I bet there's quite a few democratic mayor's who (behind closed doors) are saying "I didn't think they'd actually end up here".

I've been to boarder states and know people with land on the boarder. It's common to leave water, food, bedding, and shelter out for travelers. They help people no questions asked with no payback expected. Been that way for 60yrs. There's no more room down there. Someone else is going to have to handle the workload and be good Samaritans.

So here it is. No illegal immigrant gets shipped anywhere that they do not want to go to. They, tge immigrant single double or family gets to pick where they want to be taken to. When they get enough illegals to fill a bus going to where everyone wants to go, they load it and off they go.

Otherwise it would be kidnapping.

I have to smile at the "hatred" comments. Often times this comes from people who support things that have torn down the traditional family, taken prayer out of school, approve of abortion right up to birth etc... Never any mention of the fact that these people are here illegally, some are family's,yes but most are not, along with them are criminals etc...We have a immigration procedure to screen out those that should not be here. These people came into this country well aware of the fact that they were breaking the law.... Not sure where the "hatred" stuff comes from just because people like me think illegal immigrants has turned into a huge problem.

For the record....we have housed family's in need, and send regular payments to "sponsor a child " for children overseas.....We have counseled, shared tears, gave foster children a bed to sleep in, gave vehicles to people in need, etc... I'm not tooting my horn, frankly i prefer for the left hand not to know what the right hand is doing...try reading the bible it's in there.

Would i house an illegal immigrant?....yes, would i feed them? yes, but i would also encourage them to do the right thing...and do it legally. If they must go back...they must go back.

Now......how many illegal immigrants can we put you "hatred" accusers down for to care for until we get them placed?? Or is this just another pathetic example of calling right wrong...and wrong right?

just so i get this straight...no only are they coming here illegally...now its our job to not only accept them but to help them find a job also? do i have that right?

tell me...if youre really concerned about where they can find work...do they have a better chance of finding a job if some of them are are bussed to nyc and other "sanctuary" cities across the country...or if all 1...2...3 million of them pile up in a hand full of border towns in texas and arizona?

talk about playing politics and blaming others...nyc has received about 60000 "migrants and asylum seekers" in the last year. how many of those were bussed by those evil southern republican governors...and how many of them were transported by the biden admin.

Or do things change over time like war, drug and gang wars, global recession, pandemic, ect. That can affect the number of refugees.

Laying all of the broken immigration and illegal alien issues at the feet of one person is…how did you say it…stupidity. We’ve had an immigration problem since I’ve been alive and it won’t be fixed in any single congressional or presidential term. If that were the case then Trump would have built the wall (and have Mexico pay for it) but he didn’t. So with your logic he failed the same as Biden is failing now, all on his own. Trump and all the Trumpers own the failure to build the wall. Some of the Trumpers even managed to con other Trumpers out of money for the wall and are charged with the crime (see Steve Bannon).

“We’ve had an immigration problem since I’ve been alive and it won’t be fixed in any single congressional or presidential term.”

Agreed! But Biden campaigned on the promise to do nothing about it, and you voted for him anyway.

The following is a quote from the Washington Post analyst Michael Albertus February 17, 2021 at 6:00 a.m. EST

“One of President Biden’s first executive orders was to pause construction on the country’s border wall with Mexico. Last week, Biden doubled down: He declared an end to the national emergency on the border with Mexico and promised that no more taxpayer money would go to the wall.”

It goes on to state that landowners were reluctant to allow construction on their properties.

So why is it so hard for Biden to support border patrol and allow them to do their jobs, instead of stonewalling every effort they make to secure it? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the lefties say, “Why do we need a wall, walls don’t work?” It’s a ridiculous as saying, “Armed guards in schools are more dangerous to our children. Let’s put up a sign that says “gun free” zone.”

The point is, this administration, not only refuses to acknowledge a problem, they insist on making it impossible to potentially quell it. They’ve exponentially increased the number of migrants coming here. You agree that Biden isn’t doing any better to fix the problem. Do you really think it makes sense to complain about people that don’t feel responsible for the mess, and to refuse to clean it up?

You continue to make ignorant statements about trump and trumpsters owning the problem. The fact of the matter is that the lefties do everything in their power to hinder trumps efforts. Even if it’s at your own expense. Face it, Trump is the one and ONLY reason you stand behind China joe as he miserably fails our country and it’s security. As far as I’m concerned, you’ve got no excuse to bitch at anyone for the current mess you voted for! Not to mention you and everyone else that support Biden, own the countless number of immigrants, including the children, that have died, and been raped or victimized, during their trek to take advantage of the democrats empty promises of paradise.

I concede flatlander. I mistook his directive for them to "surge the border" to mean anyone, not just ones following the correct pathway to legal immigration. Kind of feels like a technicality but I do stand corrected.

Not sure why Obama was brought into the discussion? He did a great job with immigration! Several of my military friends who had a working knowledge of the border at the time nicknamed him the "Exporter in Chief". I think it was easier for him as the media mostly ignored it. biden tried to get a similar media with his ordered media blackout, but his outstanding accomplishments down there keep popping up.

Many of us here mistakenly thought biden influenced the surge at the southern border. Since that's incorrect will you fill us in on what exactly has caused it?

"I concede flatlander. I mistook his directive for them to "surge the border" to mean anyone, not just ones following the correct pathway to legal immigration. Kind of feels like a technicality but I do stand corrected."

no need to concede imo.

anyone with half a brain...or a modicum of honesty ...knows that the whole "asylum" thing is a ruse. very few if any of these people meet the qualifications for seeking asylum. its nothing more than a dog whistle (leftists love that term) for millions and millions of people to enter the country...and never be heard from again...at least at an asylum hearing.

even if they do happen to attend their hearing and are not granted asylum...many of them still never leave.

Timex. Yep. There are latterly thousands of those migrant picker camps across the US. Lots if not most of those people will come back through south Texas in Dec.-Jan headed back to Mexico, with used vehicles and the free worlds supply of bicycles in tow. Many if most have work visas. Different animal than most of the illegals crossing now at the southern and northern. Border. I doubt many of those pickers stay all year long in those FEMA Trailers with no work Interesting pics Thanks for posting. What town are those camps near?

To put some minds at ease most immigrants who are here illegally are not going to a voting place and show there ID and answer questions. Most illegals will do anything to stay here and they keep a low profile. Part of the problem now is those who crossed can’t get a work permit. I was talking to a waiter who was a illegal and he told me in Mexico he earned $8.00 a day for hard labor. He said he sends a $100.00 dollars a month back to his parents.

Speaking of abusing the welfare system.... how many of those 7 million new Biden immigrants awaiting asylum hearings (for years!) are getting government support??

Housing, food, clothing, phones, legal representation, Healthcare, schooling, etc? What must this all cost?!?!??!

The "Remain in Mexico" policy while they apply for asylum was the best solution ever, and cost nearly nothing. Biden threw that plan in the trash and opened the flood gates for illegal immigration.

“I want to see a quote from Biden. I what to know when and where he “promised to do nothing.””

KS, ok, admittedly I can’t find a quote from him saying as much. But in my research, I saw plenty of his claims as to what he would do to alleviate the current situation. From what I can tell, he hasn’t done a single thing he said he would do. In the meantime, border patrol is stretched beyond their limit with no support, people and drugs are still coming across in record numbers, and the so-called sanctuary cities are suddenly reneging on their promise to welcome immigrants with open arms! Bottom line is, Trump is the only one that’s made a significant effort to slow the flow, yet he got stonewalled by the left at every turn, and was chastised for his effort with pompous, arrogant, and self-loathing leftist rhetoric. It amazes me how someones hatred for a person, can turn that person’s otherwise good intentions, into something that looks like malicious intent. I think you and I both know, although trump isn’t perfect, he definitely does not seek to ruin the country. I even saw an article saying that trump was “threatening democracy” by attempting to keep the UAW from extorting more money from, and forcing auto manufacturers to head back overseas. God forbid we try to keep Americans working while we’re trying to find jobs for these countless illegal aliens!

So, I guess my question to you is; what significant changes has Biden made since taking office, to improve things, and what did trump do, when in office, to make them as bad as his haters claim?

I think this is the first time in my lifetime that I’ve seen the left actually complain about the immigration crisis. So obviously there’s a different dynamic taking place. Why isn’t the current administration making it a priority to address? They sure as hell aren’t busy with “more pressing” issues. Well, that is, except for concentrating on deciding how Fetterman should dress while he works for the people, within “ the peoples” house.

It's hard to convince people that big government isn't a positive thing, it's obvious looking at who ends up on the primary tickets.

Timex - are your examples of hard working illegal immigrants part of the 7 million new Biden admissions? These latest immigrants have no papers and can't legally work. Let's not mix fruit in the harvest basket....

There are plenty of black people who work low income jobs and receive housing and WIC assistance. The same could be said for any low income workers.... white, Spanish, afghan, etc. You are not comparing apples to apples.

The U.S. let's one million new LEGAL immigrants in every year with all the legal rights to work and citizenship that comes with the process.

We are talking about the Biden/Mayorkas wave of ILLEGAL immigration on top of that, and the additional drain it places on an already over burdened system $33 trillion in debt. And the long term plan of Democrats to add these criminal invaders to the voting rolls ("pathway to citizenship")

Heres a liberal Dem thats been hit over the head....

The Democrat mayor of El Paso, Texas, has started bussing migrants to New York, Chicago, and Denver.

Democrats have repeatedly claimed that Republican governors bussing migrants to “sanctuary cities” is cruel and “inhumane.”

El Paso’s liberal Mayor Oscar Leeser apparently disagrees, saying that the city has reached “a breaking point.”

“The city of El Paso only has so many resources and we have come to … a breaking point right now,” Leeser said at a press conference on Saturday.

“I think it’s really important to note that we have a broken immigration system,” Lesser added. “It’s the same thing over and over again.”

I don’t think we are exactly on the same page on that. Trump might not intend to ruin the country but I’ve never heard so much talk calling for civil war coming from Trumpers (example Woods Walker). Civil war would likely ruin the country. He my not intend to but his narcissism is going down that road.

I agree the border is a mess and Biden is the Commander-in-Chief so it’s on him. However, if illegal immigration is caused by Ds then why was illegal immigration so low under Obama. Why is it that most illegals are not Mexican but from South America countries?

It’s so much more complex than and single person’s fault.

The Cavalcante Escape: A Case Study on the Impact of Dem Policies

The Cavalcante episode presents a case study. When an illegal immigrant, a double-murderer who had been previously arrested for domestic violence and allowed to go back home (to the woman he eventually slashed to death in front of her children) escapes from a short-staffed prison in the same way that another prisoner had escaped just weeks earlier;

when there is no K-9 unit so that trained dogs were not available to hunt the escapee; when the district attorney waited for hours to release the murderer’s picture to the public and didn’t ask state police for help until Day 5;

when the sheriff held a campaign fundraiser, posting pictures on social media, while the escapee was still on the run; and when the Chester County Prison Board is chaired by and made up largely of the county commissioners, the DA, the sheriff, and the controller, all Democrats – why is it wrong to raise these factual points, tie them to the disastrous results, and demand accountability?

The party of “defund the police” and “open up the southern border” needs to answer questions. When he was arrested for domestic violence, why was Cavalcante not sent back to Brazil – where there’s a warrant for him on murder charges? Why did the prison accept a double murderer if it was already short-staffed? Why not place Cavalcante under armed guard? Why haven’t they reinstated a K-9 unit at the prison? Why let him go outside to “get exercise?”

These are ( DEMOCRAT) policy choices, made with terrible judgment.

( Real Clear article by Guy Ciarrochi previous Chester county Chamber CEO)

How many more murderers, rapists and terrorists Did the Dems let in? ITS A SIMPLE CONCEPT THAT THE DNC IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE; When there is no vetting…its a message to every low life criminal, murderer, child abuser- CMON IN, WE DON’T CHECK.

I haven’t heard trump calling for a civil war. Are there folks that may be concerned about one? Absolutely! I e even made the comment that it’s a possibility. With the crap this administration is pushing it’s definitely a real threat from extremists. Of course, that’s the rhetoric you’ll get when you attempt to hamstring the previous president with a plethora of false accusations and blatant tendencies of vigilante justice.

Despite what the left wing media tells us, there is no evidence to the contrary. I’ve always thought we needed a business man in office rather than a career politician. Trump proved that theory right, and made life for the middle class a little more bearable. Is he a patriot? More so than anyone I’ve seen in office recently. Including China joe. He knows as well as the rest of us what the swamp holds. Unfortunately the swamp is large, and they look out for each other in the interest of keeping power and getting rich off of the backs of good Americans.

"Is Trumps ever changing views on abortion and unions part of the party platform?"

trumps personal views on abortion...changing or not...are irrelevant to me. your statement just shows how ignorant you are about such how things work. whats relevant is what laws can and cant be passed by congress (not the president)...and what the supreme court will eventually have to say on the matter. people of your ilk seem to think presidents can just make laws...but they cant. thats why everything is about numbers and control...the number of r's vs the number of d's.

"…you’re so full of it."

says the guy who claims his vote for biden was a vote...wait for it..."for the constitution."

you literally cant make this stuff up.

Can you handle the truth…..illegal immigration is a significant part of this.

Victor David Hanson wrote a great article outlining how liberal progressive policy has destroyed California…the same policy that Newsom has accelerated and pushed hard.

Excerpts; (Re High speed rail project to do away with polluting planes)

The rail authority now estimates that just the modest 178 mile route—only about a fifth of the authorized distance—will not be completed at least until 2030. Past high speed estimates of both time and cost targets have been widely wrong and perhaps deliberately misleading.

Total costs for the entire project are now estimated at nearly $130 billion. Many expect that figure to double in the next quarter-century. Planners also concede there will likely not be much high speed rider demand from San Joaquin Valley residents willing to pay $86 to travel at a supposed 200 mph from Bakersfield to Merced.

( the drought problem in Ca is really a water storage problem) Nine years ago voters amid drought and water shortages also passed a state water bond, authorizing $7.5 billion in new water projects and initiatives.

Some $2.7 billion was targeted for new dams and reservoirs. The current water storage system had not been enlarged since the early 1980s, when the state population was 15 million fewer residents. So far not a single dam or new reservoir has been built. And Californians expect more water rationing statewide anytime the state experiences a modest drought.

( where has liberal Dem policy got us?)

The state’s public unions and bloated bureaucracies guaranteed Soviet-style overhead, incompetence, and unaccountability. The more California raised its income taxes—currently the nation’s highest topping out at 13.3 percent—the more it borrowed, spent, and ran up huge annual budget deficits.

The nation’s highest gasoline taxes along with steep sales and property taxes—coupled with unaffordable fuel and housing, a homeless epidemic, dismal public schools, out-of-control crime, and mass, illegal immigration—soon all led to a bifurcated state of rich and poor.

Millions of impoverished illegal immigrants arrived over the last 30 years without legality, English, or high school diplomas.

And thus millions were immediately in dire need of costly state-supplied health, education, housing, and food subsidies. Currently well over half of all California births are paid for by Medi-Cal. Well over a third of the resident population depends on the state to provide all their health care needs.

Twenty-seven percent of California’s resident population was not born in the United States. That reality created a vast challenge of civic education to ensure assimilation and integration. Unfortunately, millions entered California at precisely the time of a new tribalism and racial essentialism that has taken hold of the state’s government, media, schools, and universities. Tribalism, not the melting-pot, is California’s paradigm.

California is a one-party state. There are no statewide Republican elected officeholders. Progressive Democrats also enjoy a supermajority in both houses of the legislature. Only 12 of 52 congressional seats are held by Republicans. And almost all of California leftwing politicians are funded or influenced by Silicon Valley—the richest corridor in civilizational history, with $9 trillion in market capitalization.

They don’t know any better. They believe everything they’re told. If it goes against their brainwashed logic, they call it misinformation. You’ll never convince them otherwise!

"I came across the Trump Epstine photo on fb & screen shot it, really didn't pay any attention to it, only reason I posted it on here was to ruffle some feathers, Yall take this stuff much more seriously than myself."

you should take it more seriously. posting crap like that "just to ruffle feathers" is much more damaging than you know. i suspect you do know how damaging it is...thats why you have no problem doing it. how many people have seen that picture (and dozens more just like it) and just assume its legit.

sorry...but if you spread it you are just as bad as the people who make it. you are part of the "fake news" apparatus .

its not innocent fun...people are making serious decisions based on fake and falsified information.

Timex,

"Even though I do occasionally have useful knowledge on certain subjects that I hope can/ will help someone out." That's like Kermit the frog wondering where are all the people he gave directions to.

Having admitted you are a stranger with a fictitious name and here to entertain yourself, why should anyone on this site trust "anything" you say?

Be it fake news...or that the MSM edits the content...it's no wonder many folks don't know what's going on.

It's the folks that do know...or at least have an inkling...and they refuse to address it are the ones that offer the rest of us no hope to ever rectify this government of ours.

Tens of thousands flooding across our border on some days....many hardened criminals...and there are some folks- some here as a matter of fact- that somehow ignore that this will cost our country dearly for decades. Their guy can be bought and paid for....and so senile he is a laughing stock to the rest of the world and they literally don't care....or even worse, try to make excuses.
