Trump the snake oil salesman is at the podium.
There is nor was there a person with the capacity of “border czar.”
What is Trump doing on C-Span? I tuned in expecting to hear factual information that C-Span is known for, what happened?
In having the USA southern border as an issue demanded an approach that addresses the core problems of immigration in the first place. That strategy is the only one that works. Mexico is our neighbor. There is no way a border war with guns, tanks, and soldiers is even conceivable.
THIS IS THE USA. We don’t treat neighbors as enemies. We treat them like family and solve problems together.
One of THE PRIMARY problems with the issue of immigration at our southern border are the drug cartels. How many decades has our media, like the New York Times, presented facts about the bloody violence of the drug cartels, including induction of child soldiers. These children were stolen from their families.
I dare anyone to go to media archives and search the words drug cartels and not find an article about it. Over and over for decades there have been nightmare scenarios coming out of countries south of our border. Raids by cartels, killing husbands, raping wives and mothers, and stealing children.
This level of violence in any country, including at one time even Columbia, can’t be ignored for the instability it causes, but, also for the surreal issue of “failed states” so close to our own. The ONLY way to end such atrocities was to empower the governments to end corruption, build economies, have employment for their people, schools for their children, and law enforcement to push back against the power of the drug trade.
Today, three foundation members of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel are in USA federal prisons. That is a major accomplishment to end the terror of the cartels.
Our law enforcement has been wildly successful at our border crossings to end shipments of drugs into the USA. Our law enforcement have saved lives in ending shipments and arresting criminals affiliated with these cartels within our own borders.
When Kamala Harris wanted to end the nightmares at our border and south of it, there was only one way PROVEN to work and that was to RETURN to dialogue with other government leaders.
These are difficult and important issues and have to be handled correctly. Putting guns at the border with orders to kill is an outrage. These are unarmed, impoverished families trying to find hope to live productive and peaceful lives. They do not endanger the Border Patrol, the drug runners do. The illegal Texas floatation devices do nothing except act to collect mud, creating islands in the middle of the Rio Grande. They will ultimately make it easier to cross that river as islands develop and trees start to grow stabilizing the line of islands further.
President Biden has tried several different strategies to slow the flow of immigrants and earlier this year one finally impacted the flow of people coming to our southern border.
There was never a Czar of any kind in the Biden administration.
Solving problems and not killing problems is the only reasonable solution for the USA. We have allies at the southern USA that help with these border crossers. The churches always have missions to help those that make it across.
I really don’t care to hear how the Biden administration did nothing right to secure our southern border when Republicans never committed to pass immigration legislation written to uphold law enforcement, end the terror of the drug cartels, and begin AGAIN to help impoverished countries to our south return economies, employ their citizens, and have tax income to make sovereign countries stronger.
It wasn’t the Biden administration or the Democrats in the legislature that were the DO NOTHING elected officials. Republicans hold the DO NOTHING title all to themselves as they walked away from a responsible legislative effort with immigration. If the country wants to address these problems it is time to put a strong Democratic majority in the U.S. House and Senate as well as the Executive Branch. We can do it.
