And that is why Alejandro Monteverde, the director of Sound of Freedom, is giving serious consideration to running for president of Mexico. He is vehemently opposed to the current Mexican govt enabling illegal migration from Mexico, Central and South America, and from any other country for that matter.

He has witnessed the horrors migrants have suffered on their transit of Mexico, and he has actionable intel and more than sufficient evidence of the rapes, the abuse, the beatings, and the deaths occurring while transiting Mexico and at the border.

Well Blade, the difference between entering Mexico compared to the US you would have to prove since the vast majority of the people trying to get in along our southern border came up from Central and South American and obviously were not only able to cross into Mexico in the south, but were able to traverse across the entire country to our borders. So this point of yours is just BS.

Border walls are appropriate in places, but that is a huge cost, and staffing it would also be huge.

But yes we need to do more both through policy and law and through physical and human infrastructure.

So how do we get congress to act? The President can’t pass his own laws.

If you want to understand things easily, let’s follow the money:

Do you know what the entire budget for the Border Patrol was in 2023? It was a bit over $18 billion.

Do you know what the military budget was?

It was $816.7 billion.

Just think what we could do if for the next five years the Border Patrol budget was increased by $50 billion and the defense budget was reduced by an equal amount.

We just might be able to build all the sections of wall or other deterrence needed and we could at least triple the human component of the wall. Too bad old Trumpy couldn’t get Mexico to build that wall he wanted. Too bad Steve Bannon and his criminal partners didn’t actually use all that money that people donated to them to build the wall, but instead kept much of it for themselves. It doesn’t seem like Trump ever really cared about a wall. It was all for show to get people like you all fired up. Guess it worked.

It takes congress to build a wall. Trump had congress his first two years and did squat. Instead of bitching about it why don’t we elect people that will actually make it happen.

Gosh, you are a failed orange aid gal..


So under Joe the stock market just ended the longest stretch of growth ever, ended yesterday or so... unemployment lowest in 50 years, more jobs created then in any 2 year span, the fastest recovery from the covid down turn in the world, the inflation has gone down for 11 months in a row.. also the best results in the world, do not know where you live, but in Minnesota the jobs are begging and some mfg companies are bringing in refugees to fill the need and providing housing at the same time.. Education was set back more than ever by the secretary of ed put in by the former guy, she did all she could to undermine our education system.. will need much work to fix it.. Several problems converged to make the fossil fuel market overpriced.. one, was trump forcing OPEC+ to cut production for 2 years, and we were never a truly independent energy producer but we may well be in the not so distant future.. the current little bump in gas prices was obvious and well known a few weeks ago when OPEC+ cut production on their own.. so the world moves on, we are looking well but the forces are at work and flux is always happening..

If the massive layoffs and shut downs of '21 did not occur, then Biden's "jobs recovery" would not have been needed.

If the historical spike in inflation had not occurred in '22, Biden "lowering" of the inflation rate would not have been needed.

Trump increased US (thus world) oil production, this lowered the price of oil and the amount OPEC could sell. Energy independence can be defined as being able to supply ones energy needs from domestic sources (ie. not needing to import energy), but apparently you have another definition. Restricting US energy production by Biden had exactly the opposite effect, which Biden foolishly tried to correct not by allowing increased production but by draining the strategic petroleum reserves.

Education was severely set back because the whole concept of remote learning was an under disaster, one which the teacher's unions went to great lengths to drag out as long as possible.

Jobs are also begging to be filled here in the Western Soviet Socialist Republic where I am, mainly due to the fact that the politicians are spending more and more money they don't have, to take care of the ever expanding "needs" of the growing number of people who have decided it isn't worth the effort to even look for a job.

I have no problem with someone who thinks that Biden is a great president who has the country on the right track, I have no doubt you have reasons to believe that. On the other hand, you should acknowledge that other people will have just as many reasons to feel that he is a terrible president that is destroying the country.
