House Republicans fail to impeach Mayorkas.
More failed promises....Maybe they should try something constructive, for a change.

 

I personally think Mayorkas is an idiot that couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag.

He is also nothing more than a biden puppet and falls into the same trap as Abbott. No matter what you do to fix the problem, biden is going to override it because he wants it opened!

Biden is 1000% responsible & he is the one that should be impeached! But that won't happen either because we don't have the senate votes.

Of course we could pull a Pelosi & impeach Biden in the house and then claim he's been impeached.... Lmao

But we do have bigger issues to focus on, so yeah, move on!

In remarks at the White House Tuesday, President leaving the page." data-wf-tooltip-position="bottom" data-wf-reset-every="90">Joe Biden urged Congress to support the Senate’s bipartisan border bill as an increasing number of Republicans threaten the deal.

“Republicans have to decide. For years, they said they want to secure the border. Now, they have the strongest border bill this country has ever seen. We’re seeing statements about how many oppose the bill now,” Biden said.

“Look, I understand the former president is desperately trying to stop this bill because he’s not interested in solving the border problem, he wants a political issue to run against me on. They’ve all but said that across the board. No one really denies that that I’m aware of,” Biden continued, referring to his predecessor Donald Trump.

“The American people want a solution that puts an end to the empty political rhetoric which has failed to do anything for so long. We have to get the resources to the border to get the job done. So, Republicans have to decide, who do they serve: Donald Trump or the American people? Are they here to solve problems or just weaponize those problems for political purposes?” Biden added. “I know my answer. I serve the American people. I’m here to solve problems.”

Now here's a bit of irony for you.
The day after Mayorkas dodges being impeached for his wilfull failure to secure our borders,
even as despicables hoot and celebrate,
Customs and Border Protection issues a new report;​

CBP migrant encounters already exceed 1 million since October (msn.com)
CBP migrant encounters already exceed 1 million since October
Story by Anders Hagstrom, Griff Jenkins • 3h

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has tracked over 1 million migrant encounters since Oct. 1st, when fiscal year 2024 began, a CBP source told Fox News Digital on Wednesday, the earliest this mark has ever been reached.

The number is roughly 100,000 encounters higher than the same period last year, when the U.S. saw 908,000 encounters. This is the earliest the U.S. has ever reached the 1 million encounter mark, according to the CBP source.

The U.S. is also tracking a higher number of Chinese migrants crossing the border. Chinese illegal immigrants made up the fastest-growing group of border crossers last year, and fiscal year 2024 is on track to shatter that record.

The CBP encountered over 37,000 Chinese migrants last year, but they have already encountered nearly 20,000 since October. The CBP source says they have encountered roughly 150 Chinese migrants per day this fiscal year.

The news comes just after a bipartisan immigration bill crashed and burned in Congress this week.

The despicables are desperately spinning the idea that brandon is doing all he can to secure the border.
Well, that's a big fat lie, isn't it?
Shooter thinks despicables don't appreciate just how dangerous open borders are.
He doesn't think they'll understand until those terrorists who have come into the country act.
And of course, being despicables, they'll blame Trump, or conservatives, or maybe Nikki Haley. But not liberals or open borders and for damn sure not brandon.
"We have met the enemy and he is us,"
​

 

Now here's a counterpoint to the propaganda american hater has been slinging around
the forum concerning the "pay Ukraine so they can pay the big guy" bill.

Sen. Marco Rubio: Ignore the Media. Here's the Real Reason the Border 'Deal' Collapsed | Opinion (msn.com)
Sen. Marco Rubio: Ignore the Media. Here's the Real Reason the Border 'Deal' Collapsed | Opinion
Story by Marco Rubio • 55m

How does a bipartisan bill months in the making die less than 24 hours after it sees the light of day? The answer is twofold: the substance is worse than anyone could have expected, and the man charged with implementing the bill isn't actually interested in solving the problem it claims to address. It's the perfect combination for a knockout punch.

First, despite what the legacy media and White House stenographers may say, the bill is in no way "tough" on the border, nor would it curtail the mass migration crisis we face. In fact, it would do the opposite.

For example, the bill's "border emergency" provision would make mass migration the status quo by allowing a weekly average of 5,000 migrants per day, or up to 8,500 in one day—not including Mexicans, unaccompanied minors, people who claim asylum at ports of entry, and people using the humanitarian parole program.

The number of migrants allowed into our country with these exemptions alone would be in the millions every year. Moreover, the "emergency" designation, which is waivable by the president who created this crisis, could only be used a certain number of days per year and expires altogether in a few short years.

Meanwhile, the bill does nothing about the millions of migrants allowed to enter our country since President Biden took office. Instead, the bill pledges to reward those migrants—mostly people seeking a better life, as opposed to those fleeing persecution—with work permits and release from detention.

This will create an even stronger magnet for even more illegal immigration. But these migrants are not the only ones promised the ability to work. The bill also authorizes an additional 250,000 green cards over the next five years.

Weakened by deindustrialization and punished by inflation, American workers are currently struggling to provide for their families. The costs of necessities like food, fuel, and housing are at a significant high. Meanwhile, the middle class seems increasingly out of reach. As conservative economist Oren Cass has noted, the best thing policymakers can do in this situation is keep a lid on the labor market, thereby giving workers extra bargaining power for wages.

This bill would do the opposite, causing a race to the bottom in wages.

The bill also gives Congress's blessing to one of the Biden Administration's most egregious violations and contortions of federal law: the mass expansion of the humanitarian parole program. This White House has unilaterally broadened its parole power to allow more than one million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and elsewhere into the United States. As one Biden Administration insider has anonymously bragged, "The legislation does not impact the [current] process at all."

All in all, there are countless outrageous provisions in the text and a scarce few, such as a heightened asylum standard, that address the challenges facing Americans on the border and in towns and cities across the nation.

In fact, the entire bill is designed to build a legal framework for the Biden Administration's extra-legal actions.

Here's the truth: If President Biden wanted to secure the border, he could do it right now. Federal law, the same law that former President Trump operated on, gives this White House the power to "suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens" when the national interest is at stake. President Biden doesn't need "emergency" authority from Congress. All he needs is to reinstate the policies he spent the last three years dismantling.

But President Biden won't do that, and we shouldn't be surprised. In 2020, he told the world, American voters, and human-trafficking cartels alike, that he would stop enforcing immigration laws. Now, he's too handicapped by his radical base to reverse course and mitigate our crisis. Instead, he wants Republicans to take the blame for "blocking" his phony "deal."

President Biden made a very intentional decision to open the border. He broke the law to do it and even took states to court when they tried to fend for themselves. A new law, even a good one, was never going to force this White House to follow the rules.

For all the handwringing Republicans receive from the Left and the media about "rule of law" and the "sanctity of institutions," the Biden Administration has been waging a full-blown assault on both. As we've seen, Congress has limited abilities to check a runaway executive. The ultimate ability to check this president rests with the voters.

 

Well, not "why do we have a government, rather why do we have these morons running our government?

 

2 House Republicans push back against claims that a president can easily fix the border: 'Why didn't Trump just shut down the border? He couldn't.'

  In recent weeks, leaving the page." data-wf-tooltip-position="bottom" data-wf-reset-every="90">Trump has said no congressional action is needed at the US-Mexico border.
  
  
• Two House Republicans from Texas pushed back against his claims, saying it's not that easy.
  
  
• The GOP is now on the verge of tanking an immigration agreement after failing an impeachment vote.
  

As House Republicans failed Tuesday evening in a vote to impeach Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, two staunch conservative representatives from Texas pushed back against former President Donald Trump's claims that reforming the US-Mexico border is easy.

Following the unsuccessful 214-216 impeachment vote, Rep. Chip Roy railed against the GOP and Trump for likely putting an end to the Senate's recently introduced bipartisan immigration bill, which Trump has personally asked to be blamed for killing.

"We're not going to just pass the buck and say that, 'Oh, any president could walk in and secure the border,'" Roy said. "I saw former President Trump make that allegation earlier today on one of his social media posts. 'All the president has to do is declare the borders closed and it's closed.' Well, with all due respect, that didn't happen in 2017, 18, 19, and 20. There were millions of people who came into the United States during those four years."

As the conservative think tank Cato Institute estimated in 2021, Trump's administration largely cut down on the number of legal immigrants during his time in office. But his attempts to halt illegal immigration via a border wall and other means didn't work.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Houston-area Republican, chastised his fellow GOP House members in an interview Tuesday night for tanking the recent Senate immigration agreement. He questioned if it was even necessary for the party to write and file a separate immigration bill in May 2023.

"I understand some Republicans are saying we don't need any changes to law," Crenshaw said. "Then why did we write HR 2? Why did we do that?"

He echoed Roy's previous point: Securing the border isn't as simple as Trump and many other Republican legislators are making it out to be.

"Why didn't Trump just shut down the border if you just think we don't need any changes to law?" Crenshaw asked. "He couldn't. He had to make a deal with Mexico, and he did a great job doing that, but he had to rely on literally international agreements to get it under control."

Trump did shut down the border, for covid.

But he had the border as secured as any president despite the despicable mission of "not one dime, not now, not ever".

Why can't biden secure the border as well as trump and even abbott?

Cause his handlers want the border open.
Thats why.

 

Here's the incredible irony. This was all President Biden wanted to begin with. So now he's going to get the funding he wanted and Trump and treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans are going to get the blame for keeping the border open.




These 17 GOP senators voted to advance a $95.3 billion Ukraine and Israel aid package — without the controversial border provisions that Republicans have rejected

• 
  The Senate voted to advance a Ukraine and Israel aid bill — without any border provisions.
  
  
• Republicans had demanded border security measures, only to reject them as insufficiently harsh.
  
  
• 17 GOP senators joined Democrats in support of moving forward on the legislation.
  

So much for that border security deal.

The Senate is now poised to move forward with a bill that would provide billions in aid to Ukraine and Israel, setting up an eventual clash with House Republicans.

On Wednesday, 17 Republican senators joined with Democrats to begin debate on a version of the foreign aid bill that no longer includes any of the border security provisions. Hours earlier, the bill failed after Republicans panned the bipartisan deal that they had originally demanded.

Among those voting to proceed on the bill was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose support for Ukraine aid is increasingly at odds with the rest of the GOP.

The $95.34 billion package contains $60 billion in new aid to Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, and $9.15 billion for humanitarian assistance, including for Gaza.

If Republican support stays at about the same level, it would represent a significant decline in support for Ukraine within the Senate GOP. In May 2022 — the last time the Senate voted on a bill primarily dealing with Ukraine aid — 39 GOP senators supported it.

The legislation could see further changes before a final vote, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer saying he expects an open amendment process. Several Democratic senators are hoping to impose new conditions on Israel aid amid the devastating war in Gaza, and Republicans may offer amendments of their own.

Many Republican lawmakers, particularly on the hard right, have been fervently opposed to further aid to Ukraine, arguing that it does not serve American interests and that the money would be better spent domestically in the United States.

Owing to that opposition, it's unclear what path the bill would have through the House if it passes the Senate. House Speaker Mike Johnson has signaled some level of support for Ukraine aid since ascending to the top job, but he regularly voted against it as a rank-and-file lawmaker.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has threatened to call a vote on ousting Johnson from the speakership if he allows another vote on Ukraine aid.

Meanwhile, some progressive Democrats are likely to oppose the package if it does not include conditions on Israel.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont voted against debating the foreign aid bill on Wednesday, saying in a statement that he does not support allowing Israel to "continue its horrific war against the Palestinian people."

Here are the 17 GOP senators who voted to advance the bill:

• Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia
  
  
• Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
  
  
• Susan Collins of Maine
  
  
• John Cornyn of Texas
  
  
• Joni Ernst of Iowa
  
  
• Chuck Grassley of Iowa
  
  
• John Kennedy of Lousiana
  
  
• Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
  
  
• Jerry Moran of Kansas
  
  
• Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
  
  
• Mitt Romney of Utah
  
  
• Mike Rounds of South Dakota
  
  
• Dan Sullivan of Alaska
  
  
• Thom Tillis of North Carolina
  
  
• John Thune of South Dakota
  
  
• Roger Wicker of Mississippi
  
  
• Todd Young of Indiana
