Hispanic Caucus Opposes Biden's Border Plan
Timothy Birdnow
Hereis an interesting article on AOL about the border crisis and how Biden is going to compromise with Republicans.
FTA:
If anyone believes for a moment Joe Biden will keep these promises I have some wonderful bridges for sale - cheap!
Biden REALLY wants this war in Ukraine, for reasons that are murky. But he also wants to be re-elected and the anger of the American People at this invasion requires a band-aid.
So the Senate will approve the aid in return for Biden issuing orders to restore Trump policies - only Biden will issue a stand-down order as part of "prosecutorial discretion". And no doubt he'll simply find ways around his own orders.
Nothing will change except the optics.
The article continues:
End excerpt.
So, the Hispanic Caucus doesn't like border security? Well, their constituents do.
Legal immigrants are angry about these line jumpers, as angry as are mainline Americans.
A CBS poll found 63% of Hispanics want greater border security.
Yet the Democrats' Hispanic Caucus, which claims to speak for Hispanic voters, wants to keep the border open. Why?
For the same reason they want to kill voter I.D. It's about power and nothing else.
So how will a return to Trump's policies "make things worse"? Things were fine when we employed them.
What makes things worse is encouraging these people to show up at our doorstep after a dangerous trek across thousands of miles, then shipping them all over the country where they are not wanted. That is how you make things worse.
Things can't GET any worse right now.
And we did not hire Joe Biden, nor Alex Padilla, nor Robert Menendez to represent aliens. They are American SENATORS, and their fealty is supposed to be to the Constitution of the United States and the American People. They are in violation of their oaths of office.
In the end this is about replacing the American Peole with a new America, one less stiff-knecked and independent, one that will let these people rule them. If Americans don't like it they can go somewhere else!
There has to come a reconning.
Hereis an interesting article on AOL about the border crisis and how Biden is going to compromise with Republicans.
FTA:
"The administration's increased engagement in talks in the Senate, and its openness to sweeping border changes, have been welcomed by Republican negotiators, who have described significant progress in the negotiations in the past two days. Senators are trying to find agreement on a roughly $100 billion emergency funding package that includes billions of dollars in foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
But the talks have also created rifts among Democrats, with progressives expressing concerns that Mr. Biden is prepared to give Republicans major concessions without getting any of the long-standing Democratic legislative priorities on immigration — such as granting legal status to so-called "Dreamers" and other undocumented immigrants.
"They have rejected their own party's solutions on border security and are now adopting Trump's," Andrea Flores, a former immigration official in the Biden White House, told CBS News. "The Administration should resist those pushing this bad policy and politics."'
No,Biden has done nothing of the sort. What he has done and is doing is offering the PROMISE of greater enforcement for a tangible benefit now - money for Ukraine.

"The Senate negotiations have appeared to blindside Latino Democrats on Capitol Hill, a group that has grown in numbers in recent years, but still lacks lawmakers senior enough to oversee negotiations over appropriations, budget or homeland security matters. Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey has served in Congress the longest, but is persona non grata at the White House given the federal bribery charges he's facing.
He didn't hold back this week. "Not a single member, not one of the House or Senate Congressional Hispanic Caucus is at the table for these talks," he said Wednesday, adding later: "That is a hard slap in the face to all the Latino communities we represent.'
Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat of California, said returning to Trump-era immigration policy "isn't the fix. It'll make the problem worse. Mass detention. Gutting asylum system. Title 42 on steroids. It's unconscionable. That's not the way to fix the immigration system. We know it won't work."'
