Here's a convo a reporter had with an illegal from Turkey on the border:

https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/1793635135021355...

MELUGIN: Did you have to pay a cartel?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes

MELUGIN: How much?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: $10,000

MELUGIN: $10,000?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes...In fact, the American people is right, completely true. Who comes into this country? They don't know. Okay, I'm good, but how if they're not good? How if they're killers, psychopath, else? No guarantee of that. Like, no security, no security check, no background check

MELUGIN: No security, no background, you're worried about who's crossing the border?

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT: Yes, yes. Of course, because (unintelligible) people are not like normal.


There's only 1 way to stop the insanity, and that's to throw out as many democrats as possible in November.

Heh. It's the Republicans who botched it. And they'll continue because they don't want to change the law in a way that won't get tossed in court.

You get a trifecta with 60 votes in the Senate, and Dems likely will do a much better job of fixing the problem. Reps suck at nuance and finesse. They only have hammers, and so see every problem as a nail

LOL. A mass amnesty - which is what the democrats want - only makes things worse. Good luck with that.

If that's what you think, you have no clue what Dems favor. Because it most certainly isn't that.

Sure, maybe a handful, but not enough to make a difference in a vote. Dems want better security, also, but they want it fair, humane, in accordance with laws and treaties...you know...subtlety and nuance that actually is workable. More courts. Stuff like that.

Wow, Melugin managed to find an "illegal immigrant" who has the republican talking points down pat.

Imagine that.

No doubt that what's most asylum seekers are thinking when they arrive: "I'm a nice guy but I bet everyone else crossing is a 'psychopath' and, oh, yeah, there's 'no security check,' 'no background check.'"

Gee, sounds totally legit.

And he did say "completely true" so it must be completely true.

Plus, it was on X and nothing on X is not true.

<eyeroll>

It's consistent with the policies and incentives democrats push.

Dems want better security, also, but they want it fair, humane, in accordance with laws and treaties...you know...subtlety and nuance that actually is workable. More courts. Stuff like that.

Sure they do.
democrats claimed for 3 years that "the border is secure". Before that they pushed back on reinforcing the border and routinely oppose any measure that slows down the flood at the border.

Only now that they're poised to pay a political price are some of them starting to mention border security at all.

They're not serious on this subject. Not in the slightest.

Yep. Totally faked. You got me!
It's not like checking who comes in is a sane thing to -, oh, wait...yes it is.

No, it's Reps that aren't serious. Well, most of them. A few were serious and entered into negotiations on a bill that had a chance. But the majority non-serious Reps killed it without even seeing it.

But, yeah, it's the Dems.

You mean a couple of Reps were suckered into negotiating with the democrats on a bad faith bill that did literally nothing for the border.

But the majority non-serious Reps killed it without even seeing it.

Sorry, this was debated in the public square and everyone serious about border security was rightly horrified by it.

No one with an IQ over 40 actually beieves this.

Good luck with your lying about what Dems want.

Quick question. Why are you willing to look like a complete idiot by constantly lying about something so obvious?
