    That’s what Abbott and his fans want. Dead migrants and asylum-seekers. And it’s what Trump wants too.

    The more the better. If Trump could, he would show mass graves of dead non-white people who died at the border at his rallies.

      It’s wonder he not calling to have the area nucked. But 100% right this is what they want and their base does too. Unless Democrats and Binden don’t put stop to this It’s going get worse.

        Biden is all for being tough on the border to the point he copied Republican policies on it.

          To be fair, he did that as part of a negotiation to get Ukraine funded. So it may less be about wanting to be tough on the border and more about not caring enough to not be tough on it.

            He also did it to call their bluff. And it worked. They killed their own bill even.

            Biden played them for the fools they are. Idiots on social media can’t understand the nuance and take it at face value.

      Read the article, it gives a lot more information than just the headline.

        Well yah. That’s how articles work.

        I tried to read it. I couldn’t get past the first paragraph.
        The anecdotal humanized narrative story type of reporting does nothing for me…
        That’s not true. It anoys me.

        I go to novels when I want a story.
        For news, I want information. What’s the data? Who’s collecting it? How? What are the hypotheses and relevent historical context? What are some (if any) solutions.

          All that is in the article if you scroll past that first bit. I managed to do it, I believe in you.

            I’m sure I could do it too, if someone paid me enough. Otherwise, life is too short.

    Have they tried entering at the numerous official border crossing stations along major roads, highways, and ports, that are staffed 24/7 by US Customs and Immigration?
