“What’s been negotiated would — if passed into law — be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country,” Biden said in a statement. “It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”
So Biden wants to give Republican presidents this power too?
Like, it's more concerning Biden said he'd do it "day 1", but every fucking Republican is actually going to do it day 1.
The only reason I can think of Dems wanting this is so they can say "vote D or Republicans will do this terrible thing we let them do"
Population growth rate is on a downward trend, though sometimes I wish it would freefall already, would really enjoy watching fox when republicans realise they need immigration just to keep society running
When the majority of the people are old and retired, but there isn't enough young people to support them.
It would be hilarious if by that time USA has alienated everyone from wanting to go there anyway
They'll never do it. They can't actually do anything about immigration reform, if they do they won't have it to rile the base the next election a Dem is in charge. Republicans only ever seem to have an issue with immigration leading into elections with incumbent Democrats.
that's the easiest "yes" of my life. Firmly believe there should be an age ceiling/cap on all official chairs. Too young and you don't understand what's going on, too old and you don't know what's going on.
Laughable she thought they would be honorable. Was the DNC honorable when Wasserman-Schultz and crew tipped the scales for HRC? Lo and behold, our honorable courts upheld "democracy."
Hope she continues to go all out. What does she have to lose? Not like she would have ever been a VP pick. All she's got is waiting on Trump to cognitively fold. Or, land in jail. Or be financially destroyed.
Trump's mental state is deteriorating fast. There was glaring evidence at the end of his term. The amount of angry Tweets spiked in the last year. This isn't my opinion, it's verifiable fact.
At this point, I'm not sure he knows where he is or who is who. I'll let the Sioux City/Falls thing slide, any of could have made that mistake while tired and blown out on the campaign trail. But full-on ranting about Haley as if she were Pelosi?!
And that's only the latest news. If you're paying close attention, and I am, he's been getting worse by the month, with a sudden acceleration lately. Trump's within a year of not being able to communicate or be seen in public.
And financially? This man is done and done. Between Carol's case and NY's case, he's tanked. And it just keeps coming.
Y'all can joke about his poor supporters pumping their Social Security and life savings into his campaign, but his "real" supporters are neither poor nor stupid. Look at the 01/06 insurrectionists. Middle-class or better, by a vast majority. Bob, with his successful plumbing business in Alabama, ain't going to continue throwing money at a lost cause.
