And how many of those people are gone now... why the f#&% when the snakes and alligators moat came up did they not immediately do what's necessary and get rid of him? Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Oh look, more human rights abuses! Sadly for much of the country it won't matter because they're foreigners who "chose to come here illegally." 1 1 Link to comment

That said, I'm more inclined to believe this than not, as this tracks with everything we've seen from ICE/DHS under Trump. 2 1 Link to comment

But we need to realize these are migrants that have already been “booked” and will be awaiting immigration hearings.

DevoHusker Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm not sure who is trying to politicize it more...? I see both arguments, but tend to side with Abbott here. Link to comment

I see both arguments, but tend to side with Abbott here. I probably would too if Abbott seemed concern about the spread of COVID among "legal" residents. Instead this just seems like Abbott is finding a way to "be tough on immigration" just because. That seems like more of a political grand stand. Too add, it possibly makes the clusterf#&% of US immigration law enforcement even more of a train wreck. It will be an interesting case as the courts decide who gets the right of way. 1 Link to comment
funhusker Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 It will be interesting if Courts side with Abbott that he has the authority to overrule federal govt in the name of public safety. I could see local school districts and/or cities in Texas then suing to override Abbott's order to ban mask/vaccination mandates in the name of public safety. The real show might be a couple months down the road! Edit: I meant to put this post in the COVID thread. Mods, feel free to get rid of this one since it doesn't really fit here... Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Stephen makes a good point on the different standards applied to a President based on the political affiliation. Instead of where’s Waldo, Where’s Jim Acosta? 1 Link to comment

Instead of where’s Waldo, Where’s Jim Acosta? The GOP should run with this. It’s a problem. But then they might have to explain how Biden is letting illegals pour through the border and simultaneously are apprehending too many… And Dems look like turds, what’s new? 2 Link to comment

As for "abolish ICE", any Democrat running on that message or any pushing that message within the party deserves to lose. It is not only a dumb idea, but it will also cost them elections in an environment where they already play at a massive disadvantage. 1 Link to comment
