  • Dumped on the streets

    Way to go Joe.

    I routinely see migrants wandering our streets. I see 'em wandering down the streets occasionally heading up the road to one of my properties. There's nothing up there but homes. There is only one road in so they're just aimlessly wandering lost and
    eventually will find themselves after a 4 mile loop right back where they started. They look sad, lost and confused.
    What does the administration expect them to do? This is just crazy.

    Republicans should support immigration reform if they want to solve this problem. Also, Biden isn't your HOA president. Also, too, there isn't an
    open border.

    No, we have policy based on executive power. Real reform requires
    Congress, including the Republicans, to act.

    And credit to Biden for reduced border encounters.

    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/03/open-borders-myth-fueling-migration-crisis

    "While right-wing media’s “open borders” messaging has proven salient
    for stateside viewers, there’s also reason to believe that it’s
    impacting perceptions of the border abroad. “I met with migrants in
    Costa Rica that were turned back, and their sense was that they will be
    able to enter freely,” Representative Adriano Espaillat, a New York
    Democrat, told me, arguing that the “confusion” stems squarely from right-wing disinformation. “The perception from them was that the border
    is open and they could just walk through.” John Modlin, a chief Border
    Patrol agent, shared a similar insight last month. Testifying before the
    House Oversight Committee, he relayed how detained migrants often said
    they were led to believe the border “was open.”"

    Sorry, we've been duped before under Reagan. Not gonna happen again.
    Start enforcing existing laws and we'll see what might need reform in another couple of decades after that.

    Yeah, that being the law requiring current officials to enforce current law.

    On gun control, sheriffs regularly argue that they will not or should not have to
    enforce laws. Constitutional sheriffs' opposition extends to a broad set of policies and proposals, ranging from the assault weapons registration in Illinois to national discussions of gun control to red flag laws in Colorado.

    When Sheriff John Cooke of Weld County explains in speeches why he is not enforcing the state’s new gun laws, he holds up two 30-round magazines.
    One, he says, he had before July 1, when the law banning the possession,
    sale or transfer of the large-capacity magazines went into effect. The other, he “maybe” obtained afterward.

    When Sheriffs Refuse to Follow the Law

    ... county sheriffs in some states have publicly announced that they will not enforce newly enacted gun-control laws. Their reason? They say that they believe these laws violate the Second Amendment of the U.S Constitution.

    To be clear, the laws they oppose are precisely the types of laws that courts repeatedly have upheld against constitutional challenges, finding that they
    do not violate the Second Amendment. But the problem with these sheriffs’ actions is not just that they are wrong about whether these laws are constitutional.
    The real problem is that these sheriffs are overstepping their role in the constitutional
    system and, in the process, undermining the rule of law.
