That story is so fucking insane. Boxing the car in, unmarked cars, getting out in tac gear with rifles pointed. Think about how many people in Texas keep a gun in their car. They are just looking for any reason to shoot some browns

Sadly, you're right. Operating under the assumption that Hispanics will vote for their own self-interest is probably as silly as expecting the same from blue-collar Boomer Anglos.

“ Two other deputies arrived to assist in taking the 5-foot-4, 115-pound teen to the ground as Kunovich repeatedly stunned him with his taser, all seen on body-worn camera video.”

It takes three officers and a taser to handle a 115lb teenager?

This is all political theatre with the R’s driving the false narrative …

They should be asked this at every opportunity.  They have no solution because they want no solution.  It is purely point and blame Dems.  But they should still be asked in every interview, every debate (lol), every town hall, everywhere.  Make them own it.

Edit:  Well, their ACTUAL solution is to stop ALL immigration immediately and not let ANYONE in again.  At least of the brown persuasion.  This is what they and their voters would actually prefer.  But they know they can't actually say that.

Yep.

Biden isn't doing anything is a stupid narrative that only stupid people believe. The guy deployed $$ to build walls at the border a few months ago, for goodness sakes, to which he got zero credit or acknowledgement from republicans and minimal blowback from progressives. Biden has tried to work the border issues, he's not been the absentee landlord that gqp want to paint him to be on immigration.

Considering how many stupid people we have in this country, I think it’s a working narrative

Biden should go down to the border and ask for the $.

Judo this shit.

Ask for more judges.

Ask for more border agents.

Solve the process problem.

Only allow the Republicans to argue the immigration side of things in which they just make racist / xenophobic arguments b/c they aren't going to drop this as a talking point regardless.

Then hammer them on their racist takes.

Individual GOP members: “the border crisis is the most important thing ever. It is so terrible!”

House GOP 2024: “first things first…let’s impeach Hunter Biden. I heard he has a giant dong and that threatens/excites me”

Sane people: "Huh.  So....just what we said all along -- walls are only as effective as your ability to back them up with manpower all along the wall.  Meaning that a hundreds of mile long wall in the middle of ass-nowhere isn't going to do shit but be a futile and expensive gesture."

MAGAs: "This proves we need to build even MORE wall!  BUILD THE WALL!  BUILD THE WALL!"

No, it means we need to build a double wall and fill in the inside with spikes. Duh.  /Abbott

Funny how that Biden’s most pressing political pressure points seemingly revolve around walls on borders not working without some to patrol it.

Israel is bombing Gaza into the Stone Age after Hamas ransacked, raked, and pillaged Israeli villages on the other side of their wall AND we have a wall that does jack shit to keep people out.

Biden must really hate Pink Floyd.

biden fails on the border and immigration for goddamn sure

biden fails on the border and immigration for goddamn sure

every POTUS and Congress for the last 45 years has failed border and immigration, for goddamn sure

I think you'll start to see real movement on this issue when it's clear that federal bailouts for social services in Democratic cities and states are needed. Eventually that will get wrapped up into some kind of omnibus spending bill.

Well, how about we look at immigration and border issues from January 2021 to present, and compare the population-adjusted numbers and impacts to those of prior administrations/years/decades.  When you do, you see that we don't actually have much of an OBJECTIVE crisis.  Ignore the noise and shrieking from the nativist crowd who has revived the "great replacement theory" bullshit.

Generally, our immigration issues are no worse -- but also no better -- than they have been for the past 30+ years.

Yep.  Want to know the last one of those to even make a run at intelligent, effective immigration policy action?  Good old W.  But alas, he was a few years too later -- by his time, the nativist trend on the right had taken control, and the democratic opposition to everything W thought or did trumped any objective consideration of policy.

We've always had cross-border immigration of brown people, generally to find work.

We've always had a broad spectrum of asylum seekers or similar types fleeing persecution, failed states, desperate circumstances, etc.  We've had nativist stupidity reactions multiple times....

Fuck the Chinese.

Irish need not apply.

Those dirty jews bring their communism.

Damned mexicans will bring us a taco truck on every corner.

Every fucking time, we've been dead-wrong.  Yet, we keep playing the stupidity hits, because

Simple measures to manage, control, and monitor immigration are there for the taking.  Again, we don't even need to reinvent the wheel -- we can just dust off various programs and mechanisms we've used in the past and update them (will be even easier now with technology and interconnectivity).  But as we all know, 0% of the current conversation is about the actual issue of immigration.  It is entirely about setting political fires and fanning the flames, using good old fashioned demonization as an (effective) political tool.  It's effective because it works.  As demonstrated by people on this very thread who THINK they're smart, but are just being sheep led down the same old nativist path like their idiotic forebearers were.  ANTI-CHINESE LEAGUE!

Okay, but before that happens use the dollars Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Kansas, Wyoming, Wisconsin, and Tennessee declined when they refused to pass Medicaid expansion and put it where it will help the most in need of immigration services support. Perhaps that will assist the immigrants in order for them to get processed and on their way to employment and a better life. The ten states get what their leaders wanted, and the cities who received the huddled masses can become the beacons they were meant to be.

i agree with you 100% but biden has fumbled this issue away because he thinks other issues of his have his priority.

but letting Republican governors shape the narrative is weak af
