AOC's solution to the border crisis:
"You can either fix it by trying to build a wall. Or you can fix it by documenting people."
The best way to end illegal migration is by legalizing it. AOC is brilliant.

The biggest problem at the border remains the incentives that are drawing people to cross it illegally. If you build a wall and stop catch-and-release, illegal immigrants will mostly stop coming because the dangerous, expensive journey will no longer be worth it. If you start "documenting people," those incentives only intensify.
Honestly, things are so bad that even building a wall would likely result in little change. The only thing that is going to stop the onslaught of illegal immigration is asylum reform that stops people from crossing the border and immediately claiming asylum, thereby requiring that their claim is adjudicated. To do that, a policy of detention and quick decision-making must be put in place. If enough people are denied and sent back, those that haven't come yet will get the message.
What Ocasio-Cortez is suggesting is the full-scale destruction of American sovereignty, and even then, it wouldn't "fix" anything. I guess that shouldn't surprise me. //

You know how you reduce crime in this country?
You legalize theft, murder, and violent assaults.
It's just common sense... //

Fetterman right again:
"There's a crisis at the border and I don't know how anyone could pretend that there isn't."

More illegal immigrants have crossed the border in December than in any month — EVER.
Democrats want you to believe the border is “secure.” They are lying.

We don't have a ‘problem’ on the border. We have a Biden immigration policy, which is working perfectly, if you're a hard-left person, which is destroying American identity, it's crippling the rule of law.
It is flooding the country with people who haven't been trained into the culture, don't necessarily understand how to function in our society and create all sorts of problems. //
And I think we don't realize yet this is a deliberate policy by people who want to undermine America, change it profoundly, and eliminate all of those crazy ideas like the Constitution, the rule of law, the work ethic, meritocracy, actually being able to know and do something. //
If you'd told me not so long ago that a U.S. president would deliberately undermine our security and actively flout our laws, I would have thought you were nutters and that it was a crazy conspiracy theory. And, yet, that's exactly what we've been seeing with first Obama and now his surrogate Biden.
Gingrich's explanation as to why is as good as any you'll see.
"The impression that someone is organizing and regulating things on the Russian side is probably true; it is quite obvious that activity like this is a managed effort.”
The new deluge of immigrants is particularly suspicious because they are arriving at the border crossing on new Russian-made Stels bicycles...in Finland...in the winter. //
This is very much in line with Russia's policy of trying to destabilize eastern European countries. It has pushed a refugee stream through Russia and into Belarus in an attempt to swarm Poland with illegal immigrants (Putin's War, Week 35. The Lull Before the Next Storm – RedState). This has resulted in the Poles building a fence...imagine that...and moving about one-third of their army to the Belarus frontier, so backstop the border police.
Lithuania has been under a similar assault and militarized its frontier with Belarus.
Russia doesn't understand why they should come under suspicion when a previously quiet border area became inundated with Third World refugees who had to pass through Russia.
Braverman's letter was three things. It was a vocal defense of her policies and the course she had taken; it was a direct attack on the failed leadership of Sunak; and it set her up as a potential replacement for Sunak as the leader of the Conservative Party. In her scathing letter, she accused him of failed leadership at all levels. She said his leadership was lacking in stemming the tide of illegal immigrants to Britain because he was afraid of offending "polite opinion." //
"Worse than this, your magical thinking - believing that you can will your way through this without upsetting polite opinion - has meant you have failed to prepare any sort of credible Plan B." //
The letter was deserved and a clear signal to Sunak that should the Conservatives retain power after the next election, he will not be the Prime Minister, but he may very well have just fired who will be.
