I've always pointed the finger at who is responsible for poorly written immigration laws and the loopholes and ambiguity in them. Try this again. Only congress can write or pass immigration laws.

That's not a lie of ANY type. I never said immigration wasn't a problem. I did point how low the numbers had dipped at one point which was 100% factually true.

I have no idea how saying..... ..... is blaming someone else for his part in this.

You're still making up BS.

Nothing to see here folks, it's only 200+ years FBI experience serving under seven Presidents and four FBI directors...



Retired FBI execs to Congress: Invasion at border ‘perilous’ for America

(The Center Square) – Ten retired FBI directors and experts in counter intelligence sent a letter to congressional leaders warning that President Joe Biden’s border policies have facilitated a “soft invasion” into the U.S. of military-age men coming from terror-linked regions, China and Russia.

They argue a terrorist attack is likely imminent but preventable.

“The threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar. In its modern history the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland, and, yet, one is unfolding now. Military age men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands – not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane bur rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected with ready access granted.”

“It would be difficult to overstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multi division army of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions whose background, intent, or allegiance is completely unknown. They include individuals encountered by border officials and then possibly released into the country, along with the shockingly high estimate of 'gotaways,' meaning those who have entered and evaded apprehension.”

According to the US Department of Defense, an Army company is comprised of 100 soldiers, a battalion of 1,000, a brigade 5,000, a division 15,000, and a corps, 45,000.

There have been over 1.7 million gotaways reported to have illegally entered and evaded capture since Biden’s been in office, the majority of whom are military age men. They are included in the more than 10 million total illegal border crossers reported to have entered the country from Jan. 1, 2021, to Sept. 30, 2023.

“In light of such a daunting, unprecedented penetration by uninvited foreign actors, it is reasonable to assert that the country possesses dramatically diminished national security at this time. The nation's military and laws and other natural protective barriers that have provided traditional security in the past have been thoroughly circumvented over the past three years,” the former FBI directors wrote.

They called on Congress to secure the border “against these young men and those already here illegally must be identified and removed without delay.”

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., posted a copy of the letter on X, saying, “This sobering letter from former FBI, Homeland Security, and other law enforcement officials describes the chilling reality of why the president’s open border is a clear and present danger to America.”

The letter was written on Jan. 17, prior to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott invoking the invasion clause of the U.S. Constitution arguing Texas’ right to defend itself and ahead of the House preparing to impeach U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the years-long border crisis.

It was addressed to Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and the chairs of House and Senate intelligence and homeland security committees.

The retired FBI officials sounding the alarm served under seven U.S. presidents and four FBI directors.

They include Kevin Brock, former assistant director of intelligence and former principal deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center; Chris Swecker, former assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division; Timothy Healy, former director of the Terrorist Screening Center; Ruben Garcia, Jr., former executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch; Mark Morgan, former assistant director for training at the FBI, former acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and former U.S. Border Patrol chief; David Szady, former assistant director of counterintelligence; Jody Weiss, former special agent in charge in Philadelphia; David Mitchell, former special agent in charge in Milwaukee; William Gavin, former assistant director of the FBI’s Inspection Division and Timothy McNally, former assistant director of the FBI’s Los Angeles division.

Congress better get busy with immigration reform.

Biden better get busy cutting out all that razor wire!

Let's see if this dude has a set of balls and tries to do something about Texas taking back it's border.

The MAGA GOPers on capital hill only care that Biden fails. Fixes aren’t even on the table for them. “Biden must fail” All of them traitors to the USA. Sabotaging their own nation.Pffft GOPers.

Man who refuses to follow the law good!

Still bragging about a guy who is defying the SCOTUS ruling I see. So much for you supporting the constitution. It's no wonder trump is so popular.

Just excited that somebody has the balls to do something about this insanity, it's about time. But frame it however you want.

You forgot the "even if it's illegal and denying a SCOTUS order" part.


There is no other way to frame it. You are excited that the governor of Texas is refusing to follow the rule of law to take the law into his own hands. That's nothing less than supporting vigilante justice.

You do realize this immigration crisis has been ongoing WITH that razor wire in place, right? That the razor wire has had zero impact in regards to stopping the flow of immigrants crossing our border, right? You're "excited" by a publicity stunt that has done absolutely nothing to prevent the flow of immigrants. It's no wonder people such as yourself are so easily fooled and support brazenly illegal acts by those you support.

Again, then why does your feckless leader want to cut it out? Going to answer that this time??

I thought the SCOTUS made that clear. Or did you even bother to look? Of course you didn't.

The wire is placed on the bank of the river. Immigrants are ALREADY IN THE COUNTRY at that point. It is the job of U.S. Border Enforcement to detain those immigrants at that point since they are already in the United States. The razor wire acts as a deterrent which interferes with Border Patrol doing their job.

Maybe you should take your opposition up with the conservative leaning SCOTUS that made that ruling.

These are the results one gets when you refuse to look at the SCOTUS ruling. Abbott isn't stopping immigrants from crossing the border. His claim to the contrary is nothing but feeding people like yourself something to cling to. They have already crossed the border before they get to the razor wire.

BTW- He's your "feckless leader" too.

So once again you support Abbott denying the SCOTUS ruling. This is what it looks like when people support extremism over the rule of law. I'm not surprised you support the breaker of the law over the rule of law. Since it seems you put more stock in what Abbott has to say and thinks his opinion means more than the SCOTUS ruling.

Yep.
That's actually inside out, but you're too blind to see.
I'm not surprised you're not surprised.
His being an actual leader and doing something about a Biden sponsored invasion isn't an "opinion".

And in your circle that's what passes for an actual leader these days. Someone who refuses to honor the rule of law. Even after the explanation of the SCOTUS ruling the law no longer means anything to you. That's the same thing that happened on Jan. 6th. And you wonder why I keep telling liberals they should arm themselves.

Liberals do need to arm themselves, especially around sanctuary cities and border states.

But not because of me, because of Sleepy Joe and people like you supporting that trash.


And protecting a border is not what happened on Jan 6. Nice try.

Biden's gonna get on soon and mumble, stumble & fumble through a few sentences explaining what he's going to do about it.

I predict some shaming and no action at all. The alternative will seal his fate as a one term failure.

So you support Abbott refusing to obey an order form the SCOTUS. Yes, they all need protection from anyone and everyone who endorse no respect for law and order because there's no telling just how far they will take it and we've seen evidence of it. Just in case you missed it, the SCOTUS is the law of the land and you are promoting lawlessness just as was done on Jan. 6th. I did not however see you ever condoning that people refuse to follow the instructions of the SCOTUS. It seems as though promoting lawless behavior is spreading among your kind like an infection. Sad days for America.

I love your crystal ball predictions. What should happen is Abbott should be arrested for contempt of court and then we would see an armed revolt by the right wing because thus far they keep supporting that laws don't apply to them and their kind. Their #1 weapon is intimidation and violence.

Murica! Freedumb!

Yes, yes, YES. I support it. How many times do you want me to say it??

Is that your prediction? lol

No. That's what should happen. When you defy a SCOTUS ruling you should be held accountable for for it. If not the law means nothing in this country anymore because they are the highest court in the land. The reaction to it if it should ever happen was based on a previous experience we all saw. No, I don't expect Abbott to be held accountable for his criminal activity at this point. Which is why the rule of law no longer matters to people such as yourself. You only support keeping the law when it's convenient for you.

You have now put yourself in the category of supporting lawless behavior based on your politics.

I see Pitdawg is still lying today. Biden signed 535 executive border policies to establish border policy. Lie about that some more pit. Tell us how 535 executive orders don't do anything.


Also, stop acting like a law would change anything. It is currently a federal crime for an illegal immigrant to be on our land. Yet they are still here. A law says it's illegal. I don't see them getting deported. Might have something to do with the 535 executive orders.

Biden can't write or pass laws. How thick does one's skull have to be not be able to grasp such a basic concept?

Yet you still refuse to acknowledge that he can change border policy, which he has done 535 times, with executive orders. Keep taking that L.

I'm sorry you refuse to read how people can apply for asylum. They can apply after they enter the country illegally and have a right to a hearing after they apply. I've posted that law on here several times. I'm sorry you either refused to read it or can't comprehend it. You better contact congress and have them fix that.

Not everybody applies for asylum. The illegals are here illegally. They cross illegally. They enter illegally. Ask the 6 million of them who have done so while Biden is president.

He can change policies not covered by the law. What he can't do is change the laws. Do you even bother to read the thread? I told Fate earlier today in this very thread that biden made decisions that helped make the situation worse. Try to catch up rather than just spewing word vomit.

So you finally admit that Biden changed policy for the worse. My job is done here.

You are correct that not all of them apply for asylum and they should be deported. However, as much as you keep relying on "They cross illegally. They enter illegally.", those who do apply for asylum after crossing the border can remain here legally pending an asylum hearing. Once again, only congress cab change that law.

You had nothing to do with it. You still think that a president can change immigration laws. You still think that a president has the power to fix the border. No president holds that power.

Can he enforce them??

Nevermind, we know the answer.

What immigration laws isn't he enforcing?

The ones that were in place before his puppet, Alejandro Theborderissecure Mayorkas, started changing them. That would be a good start...


Can Biden get away with not enforcing the immigration law?

From your Brietbart link....


I have already agreed that I certainly don't agree with many of the changes Biden made to policies and programs. But this isn't an immigration law. Even your own source doesn't claim that it is.

From your Hill source....


Once again while the headline reads law, the article you posted the link to makes it clear it's policy and not law.

I'm not sure why certain ones of you are having so much trouble understanding the difference.

I wonder if pit has the reading comprehension to understand this. I feel it is beyond his grasp, as he has demonstrated in this thread.

I predict he goes to the "It started under Trump" card.

No, that article specifically discusses how Biden policies opened the border without congress doing anything.

That's what your chart showed. It's not my fault you chose to post it. Maybe you should be more careful about posting factual information only to have it blow up in your face.

But nothing about Biden changing immigration law. Hmmmm... still chasing that rainbow I see.

You still keep an ignorant point of view I see. You are in denial of the facts.
