Corruption when they got you by the short & curlies.

IF, and that's a BIG if, we had anything close to an objective, unbiased media in this country, it would be widely publicized (or publicized at all) that Demented Joe already has the power to solve the border crisis based on the Immigration Nationality Act, section 212(f):

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem appropriate."

Western Lensman: "The Democrat election playbook explained a nine step plan to blame Donald Trump for the border crisis.

Step one, flood the country for three years with millions of illegal aliens.

Step two, watch approval numbers on the border drop below 20%.

Step three, election year is here. Decide you need to act now that you’ve let millions of illegals into the country and the American people are pissed.

Step four, line up some rhinos in the Senate to assist with the next phase of the plan.

Step five, work with the RINOs on a bipartisan basis to devise a garbage piece of legislation that would make the crisis considerably worse.

Step six, ensure the bill is so bad that becomes toxic for Republicans, so much so that even the Republican RINO leadership who helped negotiate it is forced to abandon it.

Step seven, message the doomed legislation as the strongest immigration and border bill in history, knowing the media will faithfully echo your propaganda.

Step eight, claim the only reason Republicans abandon the bill is because Trump wants to use the open border as a campaign issue.

Step nine, adopt your new 2024 campaign mantra the border crisis is Trump’s fault.

Then, every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump."

We have to remember that they're playing hardball while we play softball, and that they're evil.
