All of this is a long-long way away from (my opinion) that U.S. borders and ALL TYPES immigration “should be” running as dependably+efficiently as Swiss trains. There’s no VALID excuse for this. We’ve all been bamboozled by self-serving manipulators. For DECADES. We’ve allowed it.Josh wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:16 pm I haven’t noticed any government shutdowns, and immigration offices remain open, as do legal ports of entry.
I do know the Republicans have asked Biden to enforce existing border laws in exchange for funding for Ukraine. For whatever reason Biden doesn’t want to do that. I guess he’d rather see Ukraine get steamrolled by the Russians than have a safe, secure U.S. border.
There MAY be a significant change on the horizon, as city dwellers begin to realize, Texas and other border states are THEIR border states, too. From what i gather just north of me in Chicago, city folks are LIVID about what they’re now experiencing - which is what Texas and others have been experiencing all along. It’s clear they didn’t realize Texas was THEIR border, too.
We’ll see if this makes a material difference. A lot of people are really steamed. i’m sorry it came to that.
Refusal to address problems as they arise often goes like this. The dam bursts.
