I’m quite confident that they will offer some excellent ideas on securing the border and discouraging people from coming illegally, right?
New York Democrats finally get aggressive in border fight
Democrats in New York are finally going on the attack over border security and crime — just in time to test the strategy in the first House election of the year.
It took cinematic levels of dysfunction in Washington — from the scuttled impeachment inquiry into the homeland security secretary to failed attempts at a border deal — for Democrats to get mobilized around the politically volatile issues after years of playing defense.
Just this week, both centrist Democratic politicians and liberal coalitions put forth strategies to try to recover ground. Gov. Kathy Hochul demanded the migrants who attacked police officers in Times Square be jailed and New York City’s police commissioner lamented a “wave of migrant crime” in efforts to show spine on the matter.
Progressives sharpened their own message, writing in a memo: “There is no connection between immigration and crime,” while blaming Republicans in an email for “the same xenophobic playbook we’ve seen countless times from Donald Trump and others before.”
Nope, no crime
Tax-payer supported migrants who moved to NYC have caused a surge in crimes. In the past year alone there was more than 1,200 arrests for crimes including endangering children, assaults, grand larcenies and robberies. pic.twitter.com/98f1UrK039

No crime
Migrant moped gang steals hard working Americans phones and hires hackers to clean out their bank accounts. Who funds this? Where is Biden’s DOJ since this is organized crime and domestic terrorism? pic.twitter.com/0mcOp7xmf5

OK, let’s see them getting aggressive
The left-leaning [NY Working Family Party] and its allies have been scrambling to combat the political onslaught from the right with nuance and statistics: The memo that Archila’s party released Tuesday stressed that the Times Square violence is an anomaly — a claim backed up with academic studies — and argued newcomers have for centuries enriched communities.
1199SEIU, the politically influential health care workers union, proffered similar points.
“You have to keep saying nobody is for chaos and disorder,” interim Political Director Helen Schaub said in an interview. “But the alternative to chaos and disorder has to be an orderly legal immigration process versus just shutting it down because, frankly, that hurts all of us.”
Basically, it’s all about messaging. No offerings for actually dealing with the illegal alien problem. That’s them getting aggressive. I wonder how this will play in the SCNY areas overrun with illegals, especially those committing crimes.
If any person enters our country and then presents himself for inspection, he has not entered the country illegally.
Any person who presents himself for inspection has his right to go before an immigration judge who will adjudicate his status.
Say ??? Anything new on that despised “hockey dtick”??

If any person enters our country and then presents himself for inspection, he has not entered the country illegally.
I suppose if I rob a bank and thwn turn myself in I have created no crime.
It’s the act of entering, H.
The only way the Democrats will actually get tough on illegal immigration is to stop Governor Greg Abbott from sending the illegals to blue states.
Neither the old Republicans nor the new Trumpublicuns are serious about immigration, as it’s too valuable as a campaign issue.
A bipartisan bill immigration bill, S.744, passed the Senate by 68-32 in 2013, but the far-right reactionary extremists of the 113th House refused to take it up, preferring a piecemeal approach (which they didn’t do). Later, Speaker John Boehner called it the worst decision of his career. His decision was good for the Republicuns but tragic for American.
The Republicuns/Trumpublicuns could not have created a better issue! Brown, unAmerican, Spanish speaking foreigners storming, invading the border, to replace white American patriots! Even worse, the unPatriotic, unAmerican, Demonrats, a tawdry collection of woke soy-boys, violent negroes, perverted lesbos, fags and trannies, Jesus-denying Jews and atheists, and moslem heretics, were recruiting these invaders to vote white men out of office!!
In the long run, ending immigration of the people who actually want to live and work here, will end America as we know it.
Perfect! Usually it’s “the far right”, but today for extra drama it’s “far right reactionary extremists”!
Chicken Little Man

Agreed.
