that Joe Biden brought together a bipartisan agreement that would have given greater control of our borders (which were never open, anyway), but the Orange Turd nixed that. He said he wanted to preserve the issue for campaign fodder against Biden. And, now we have to listen to Pam Bondi lying about it, trying to create this revised history.

(56,199 posts)If they went after the ones employing undocumented immigrants, illegal immigration would stop tomorrow.
Instead of a dozen workers in a plant, they'd only have to arrest and prosecute a single farmer or a single owner of a manufacturing plant.
When they don't go after the employers, the employers just go and get more undocumented workers and the cycle continues. If they DID go after the employers and imposed stiff fines and jail sentences, there would be no more jobs to attract undocumented workers. This "problem" would go away.
They know this. They know they could stop this on a dime if that's what they really wanted to do. But they don't. So WE know that's not what they really want to do.
This is just a hunting party for the good old boys. This is sport for them. It has nothing to do with anger at lack of documentation. It has to do with people who want to think others are sub-human so they can feel superior.
