I'm sorry you have chosen to use a microscope and are incapable of using a telescope. And I love the "so far" part of trying to undermine how many jobs that 4.2 billion will create.
There is long term solution but that takes an investment of time to solve. If you're ever going to solve it, it has to start somewhere. I understand that some prefer we never solve the problem of why people are coming here in the first place so millions coming to our border can be a perpetual political football. Well, whether you will admit it or not, this paints a perfect picture of the failure of this administration. Crisis at the border NOW. Solutions that provide no results for ten years.No one needs a telescope to see the millions crossing the border. Thanks for helping to prove my point. #soeasy Solutions? The Dems are good at selling fantasies to gullible johns. Sadly, the Republicans are also working for the same big business madame, but sell people on the power fantasy instead of fake love.

Boy, a lot to comment on, but today I come in peace. I come to express my concern for the health and well being of you lefties. I am very worried that we are going to see multiple back injuries as you all continue to contort and twist yourself into pretzel like shapes in an effort to convince people that a lousy, horrible job done is really a great job done. We cannot afford to have you lefties on the disabled list when the season starts.
So let’s look at how good a job Harris did at reducing flow of illegals to our border. One person on here says she has done her job because, oh, lookie, she got $4 billion dollars sent to the northern triangle. What a great job she did!! Let’s put that idea into a football context , Damon , and you tell me what you think.
Browns defense gives up 30 ppg for three straight seasons. We fire the dc and hire a new, better dc at double the salary. He convinces the browns to go all in on some very expensive defensive free agents. We totally revamp the defense with some high end players. And for the next three seasons we give up 45 ppg. Now, Damon, some on here would say he did a good job because look at all the money he got poured into the defense. I would say he did a crappy job because we gave up 50% more ppg. What do you think Damon??
Translate that over to the real world. Harris got $4 billion put into the northern triangle. Now we do not know where the the money is. Graft and political chicanery are prevalent down there so probably a lot of it never got to where it was intended. But regardless, the results of her efforts was an increase in illegals from the northern triangle from 1.8 milllion under trump to 4.2 million under Harris. So do you measure success by the money pumped in or the results Damon? What do you think?
Now if you lefties can un contort yourselves maybe you can go to work on convincing people that Harris has said things she maybe really did not mean. She said crossing the border illegally should not be a crime. What do you suppose decriminalizing crossing out would do the the flow of illegals into our country? And what do you think most Americans would think about that?
Or maybe go to work on her defund the police idea. She said we need to rethink the idea that putting more police into neighborhoods is not the way to make neighborhoods safer. Hmm. Interesting, but I know there are places that tried some of that and were not happy with the result.
I am certain the lame stream media , aka dncc, will do everything they can to erase these positions from the record, but they are out there along with a number of other very radical positions. Gonna be interesting to see how they come out.

It's sad that a contortionist such as yourself speaks about others being twisted into a pretzel.

Right. Everyone on Twitter is lying, as well as my own eyes. We should really believe Pit@Dawgtalkers. He has a much more prolific history of being accurate.  So, nothing about the fact that the record of his assassination has been erased from autocomplete??

Did I address or question that? If you don't believe that I understand fake news and fake stuff as the thread title suggests is out there you would be wrong. One thing I'm 100% sure of is it isn't only coming from one side or the other. However, one might wish to consider that since it just happened the list may not yet have been updated to include trump.
But that wouldn't sound nefarious enough for some people.

Cool. Then provide a logical explanation.
Why would search results not autocomplete for the most newsworthy assassination attempt in over 40 years? The algorithm itself thinks were probably more curious about Bob Marley? Not something that happened three weeks ago and is mired in confusion and conspiracy?

Many things aren't filled in by autocomplete. It happens all the time when I have to type out in full what I'm looking for. You're trying to create a problem that doesn't exist. But I'm not surprised by that.
But let me clue you in on something. You don't have any right to demand anything from me. And in the future don't expect me to delver on your demands. Asking or requesting an answer is the best path forward. But you do you.

Pit you have two basic response approaches. You are either totally nonresponsive or you tell a lie and try to convince someone they are wrong and you are right. In this case you went the non responsive route. Why don’t we review those facts you so desperately want to avoid.
First Biden gives Harris the assignment. Go to the northern triangle and get them to reduce the flow of illegals to our border from that area. Reduce the flow of illegals to our border from that area!! A great assignment for our bp. I don’t care what you call her, a great assignment.
Second she hops the vp plane and heads down there, bringing private money apparently $4 billion. On a side note what good paying jobs could that money have funded for hard working Americans??
Again, the goal to reduce flow of illegals from the area.
So how were the results you ask. Excuse me, you don’t really care what the results were because they do not support your desired narrative. But I will tell you anyway. We went from 1.8 million border encounters with northern triangle illegals under Trump to 4.2 million under Harris biden. Now I know lefties like you have a pretty warped view of things, but in no view would that be defined as a successful operation.
I don’t really expect you to acknowledge that because well, you just don’t want it to be so. And that is where you live.

15.7 American jobs have already been created during the Biden administration. You complain they take jobs here and complain if jobs are created there.
For some reason you think some Wizard can come along and magically build factories and buildings for those jobs in a matter of days or months. For future reference, all of that takes time. So you keep whining about creating jobs there while they're taking jobs here. Take a little time to drive around and look at some subdivisions in your area. Look at who is roofing the houses, hanging the siding, doing the lawn work, being hired to do the domestic work. Look who is working in the meat processing plants, building the homes and more.
Then maybe you could see what the problem really is. It's Americans providing these immigrants with all of these jobs that keeps them coming here. Until people stop hiring them over here and they have jobs where they are, they will keep coming. Unless of course 1.8 million of them seemed acceptable to you.
Maybe you should be knocking on the doors of the homes hiring them. Calling the companies they work for. And of course since it seems like a huge issue to you, maybe you should actually do something about it instead of complaining about it to someone who has no power to fix it it on a message board. Here you go............

You want to know about her campaign? She's campaigning. if people weren't so stupid they would see her name pops up as soon as you press the letter "k". I guess that's not good enough. Meanwhile, there are a million unanswered questions about an assassination attempt and Giggle sequesters autocomplete. At least Farcebook can admit they screwed up... Facebook admits 'mistake' in censoring iconic Trump assassination attempt photo: 'This was an error'

Well dang, you did it again. Totally non responsive to the primary point I made. From the third post on this thread, by you, the topic became Harris’s job on the border. You seem hyper focused on her job title, is she the border czar or isn’t she. Let me be clear. I don’t give a flyin flip what you call her. I care about results. And for the umpteenth time, illegals from the northern triangle increased under her watch from 1.8 million to 4.2 million. You have yet to acknowledge that she did not successfully complete the assignment given. But anyone who looks at it honestly can see that. Try it.
I do complain if illegals get into our country and take jobs from Americans. Darn tootin!! I also complain when they do a job in America for less than an American would. They do not belong here and they are taking money out of the pockets and food off the table of American workers. I do not think it is America’s responsibility to put people to work in the northern triangle because lefties who are in charge do not have the backbone to close our border to illegals. Have the government do what they are supposed to do, provide a border and protect it.
Those next two paragraphs you actually say something reasonable. But you seem to be attacking me in the process. You obviously do not pay attention to what I say because if you did you would remember that several times I have said that e verify is a must do. No legal social security number, no work. No legal status in America, no work. I do not care if they are roofers, work in a meat plant, do rich folks lawns or clean houses. No legal status, no work.
I have also stated frequently any employer found to be working illegals, who should not be here, would be subject to humongous fines and maybe even jail time. If they have to pay more to Americans to do the job so be it.
I think you need to be very careful giving out that phone number. Harris thinks ICE is the modern day KKK. You might get drummed out of the leftie hall of fame.
I am certain that if northern triangle illegals at our border had gone from 1.8 million under Trump to 1.2 million under the watch of Harris you would be trumpeted her successful progress at her job. Not what happened so why don’t you just acknowledge that. And in the immortal words of Chief Gillespie “I promise you your gonna feel a whole lot betterlot better.

What border are you talking about? According to every map I've seen Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador do not border the Unites States. And while you continue to focus on that 4 million number, let's look at the actual results during her time having the responsibility to help try to resolve the long term issue of people coming here form the golden triangle, shall we? This covers the timetable of when she was in charge of that from July 2021 until May of 2024........ From your post above..... I do complain if illegals get into our country and take jobs from Americans. Darn tootin!! I also complain when they do a job in America for less than an American would. They do not belong here and they are taking money out of the pockets and food off the table of American workers. I do not think it is America’s responsibility to put people to work in the northern triangle because lefties who are in charge do not have the backbone to close our border to illegals. Have the government do what they are supposed to do, provide a border and protect it. So it seems the 1.8 million that crossed while trump was president didn't bother you? If it did, where were you complaining about it then? Because it sure wasn't here. No, Harris was not given the responsibility of controling our southern border.

So the fact that autocomplete often times doesn't fill in the answer for you wasn't the point? That's the entire point. I know you like trying to twist that into some type of conspiracy no matter how weak it is.

It's perfectly understandable that a search engine that generally performs as if it's reading your mind would see...
Assassination attempt on Trum...
And think I'm hungry for some web articles on the attempt on Harry Truman's life from 73 years ago.

Nobody can be stupid enough to think that since autocorrect often times doesn't provide you with every option this must be some attempt by google to hide anyone reading about the trump assassination attempt. Well at least I didn't think so until now. But it seems I can depend on you to keep looking under every rock and rolling over every log to try to find more far fetched conspiracy theories to get unhinged about.

Are you serious? Number if immigrants from the northern triangle caught crossing illegally had fallen from 90,000 in 2021 (july) to 25,000. What about the other countries???????????? And, you do realize that was "per month", right? And then you go on to state 1.8 million under Trump. What you forgot is you included all illegals, over 4 years. Ingenious at best. To compare 1 month, to 4 years? Please. To compare all illegals over 4 years from all countries, to 1 month of illegals from only 3 countries ??? I swear, you don't even read the links you post.

I know watching something that kept getting progressively better with time doesn't seem to be of any value to you. And obviously, as per usual you have no idea what the debate was about. The debate was about the countries Kamala Harris was in charge of trying to stem the flow of immigrants from in the first place. Her job was to try and get to the root cause of why people were fleeing the golden triangle and try to reduce the flow of immigrants from that area. Which it seems flew right over your head. Context has meaning. And then you ignore what I was responding to when i made the 1.8 million comment...... I do complain if illegals get into our country and take jobs from Americans. Darn tootin!! I also complain when they do a job in America for less than an American would. They do not belong here and they are taking money out of the pockets and food off the table of American workers. I do not think it is America’s responsibility to put people to work in the northern triangle because lefties who are in charge do not have the backbone to close our border to illegals. Have the government do what they are supposed to do, provide a border and protect it. Try to keep up next time arch. We weren't comparing the two administrations when discussing the decrease in traffic from the golden triangle. It was in reference to the decreased flow from the only area Kamala was actually in charge of. You know, while the GOP falsely claims she was in charge of the southern border. When it comes to the 1.8 million I was referring to? Try reading the part of his post I quoted above since this seems like such a difficult task for you.

Once again you pretend not to know better. At least I hope you're pretending. Once again you completely leave out words and just expect people to pretend that what you write makes sense. No one else can see the words that the voice in your head imagines only for you. You may have perhaps forgotten to include a word after 15.7 in your earlier post. Thousand? Lousy? Imaginary? Or were you really crowing about a number of people that could be employed at one McDonald's location?

You say some really bizarre stuff when trying to defend the indefensible. Could you point where I said, implied, suggested….. really anything, about our border being contiguous to northern triangle countries. Do you really not know what border I am talking about?? Really?? You do and you know exactly what we are talking about. You have thrown a bunch of dung so I am gonna try to pitchfork it out for you.
You are right I do focus on 4.2 million. Everyone knows that when looking at data you get better information from multiple data points over a longer period of time than one data point over a short period of time. In fact most say that only two types of people would pull one data point out of a long series and try to make a point with it. That would be dumb people and also people who are not really trying to find the truth, they are trying to find a factoid that will support their narrative. Given your history of ignoring truth when it does not fit your story, I think I will place you in the second group.
That data graph looks more like an EKG strip than a consistent move in any direction which is why you always use multiple data points over an extended period of time. Well, unless you are trying to deceive people. Could you point out where I said 1.8 million was okie dokie. I have said repeatedly that the border needs to be closed. It is lefties like you and the vp who think crossing our border should not be a crime. But at least we had an administration that cared about the border and how illegals were hurting Americans. We do not have that now and it shows.
Could you point out where I said Harris’s job was to control our southern border. Show me that. I have said her job was what the president said it was. You just can’t help but make stuff up can you?
By any measure, overall or northern triangle our border has been a disaster since Harris/biden/mayorkas took over and that is because they truly do not care.

Are you serious? Number if immigrants from the northern triangle caught crossing illegally had fallen from 90,000 in 2021 (july) to 25,000. What about the other countries???????????? And, you do realize that was "per month", right? And then you go on to state 1.8 million under Trump. What you forgot is you included all illegals, over 4 years. Ingenious at best. To compare 1 month, to 4 years? Please. To compare all illegals over 4 years from all countries, to 1 month of illegals from only 3 countries ??? I swear, you don't even read the links you post. That's a pretty interesting article though - Reuters is pretty renowned for independent and unbiased "news" and "reporting". Initially I thought the article was a little light on critical examination of Harris - but by the time I got to the end of the article it was more balanced. What stands out is the chart 2/3 of the way into the article. The red line of the Nth Triangle immigration spiked massively under Trump - came down and then started to climb again 2021-2022. The Biden/Harris administration clearly fails to recognize the focus needs to change after 2022. Mexico immigration spikes a little after the Trump administration where it starts to climb a the end from about 20k to 40K a month - to a peak of about 80K a month in 2022 ... but in 2024 while it's higher than at the end of the Trump term, it's pretty close, maybe within 10% at 44K a month? (I'm eyeballing from the chart - don't jump down my throat). . . . . clearly the biggest issue is 'All other countries''. A massive spike from virtually nothing under Obama and Trump (maybe peaks at 8-10K a month for a short time?) to a peak of 140K a month during the Biden/Harris administration. That number has fallen dramatically back down to well below 40K presently - but it is 100% understandable why people would be concerned. I'm no expert - but my thoughts would be: 1. It's 100% understandable why Trump wants to label Harris as the Border Tzar. It makes her implicitly responsible for those huge numbers from 'the rest of the world' - even though in all the articles everyone posts, Biden and others identify the Northern Triangle as the focus for her efforts - not 'the rest of the world'. While it's easy to suggest if you are responsible for one area you should be responsible for all areas ... the reality if that was the goal and the actual focus ... then Harris would have been tasked with being responsible for driving down (the root cause) of all immigration ... the words used by Biden would simply have been 'all immigration' and not mention specific geographies. Somewhat splitting hairs whichever side of the argument you are on. From a political perspective it's a no-brainer to make Harris responsible for all of it. 2. Absolute and utter failure by Biden/Harris not to recognize and switch focus when these numbers changed. Very little anywhere about recognizing this or addressing it. 3. I find it interesting that we talk about the southern border - and the implication (to my ears) has been about Mexicans crossing into the country. Yet while the numbers did spike some - Mexican numbers have fallen very close to where they were at the end of the Trump administration. Not much commentary about that .... Oh Wait !! I can hear it now, someone somewhere wants to claim that under Trump the numbers went up because the Mexicans all knew Biden was going to be POTUS. 4. Despite claims - I don't believe Biden or any major Dem politician is for 'open borders'. 5. I'd be much more interested to understand WHY these numbers peak like this. I imagine there world events that drive these figures - climate disasters, war, political unrest, religious persecutions. I know Europe has and is experiencing record numbers of migrants. It's a global issue. Trying to look at and impact the root cause is definitely worthwhile although obviously a very long term project. 6. My own anecdote from a conversation with an Irishman while in Dublin - Irelands population is still below it's peak in 1851 and the famine. I believe it is the only country in the world with a smaller population in 2024 than in 1850's. For decades Ireland had a migration problem in that the Irish wanted to leave and go elsewhere. But now the country is doing well - it's booming - it's a desirable place to live. People are building wealth ... and now they have an immigration problem. For a country that for years welcomed 'anyone' while also having a massive Irish population around the globe (and in the USA) that were immigrants FROM IRE ... suddenly they are in a completely new situation and it is causing political issues. The IRE population suddenly doesn't want cheap labor coming to take jobs or use public resources. It might be a different scale than the US but it's a real problem. I can't remember exactly how eloquently this Irishman summed it all up - but in essence he simply pointed out that the driver of the problem was wealth inequality: That was why so many left Ireland before, it's why people want to come to Ireland now - and that until something is done to reduce that driver, the problem will continue to exist. Being a 'good Christian' - he asked what was the correct balance between inhumanly isolating the country from any individual in need.

I knew what border you were talking about but somehow you keep trying to tie Kamala to that border when in this very thread I've shown where Biden in his own words spelled out what Kamala's duties were in regards to immigration. It had nothing to do with controlling our southern border. So in regards to Kamala, the two are not related. I gave you the link to the graph you are speaking of. Let me tell you how people try to deceive others. they simply post numbers and make statements providing no links or sources for what they are claiming. Does that sound familiar? Because that's what you always do.
And now you make something else up.
[quote It is lefties like you and the vp who think crossing our border should not be a crime.[/quote]
I've never said that and actually have said quite the opposite in fact. But that's what crazy alt right wingers do. Just make BS up all the time.
Let me explain something to you. You asked yet again at the end of your post if Kamala was or was not the border czar. That would mean you were asking if she was in charge of the border. No she was not. If you knew that to begin with, why did you ask that question.
I understand that you don't think that going from 90k encounters a month to 25k encounters a month by people from the northern triangle a month is doing anything and somehow in your mind that still equals a disaster. But that's only because a democrat accomplished that. If trump had done it you would be shouting it from the rooftops.
You can place me in any group you like. But coming from someone who for the most part regurgitates GOP talking points and provides zero sources for anything he ever claims, that places you in a group all of your own.

Blah, blah, blah, blah blah.
If you're trying to claim that you're too stupid to know that represented 15.7 million....... If that's your argument here I won't be disagreeing with you.
