      The point is to let other states feel pain since Democrats lack empathy.

      This bill helps keep that pain going.

          Moral superiority makes Democrats feel good, but they don’t really care. This is why Democrats must be taught a lesson. They encourage illegal immigration by having sanctuary laws, so border states should transport migrants to the lands of opportunity and freedom. NYC mayor Eric Adams tried to criminalize buses carrying illegals while keeping the sanctuary laws. Democrats pretend to be like Harriet Tubman, operating in the Underground Railroad until they have to pay the money and make room for crowds that come uninvited.

          Yes. They hate Americans who disagree with them and want to hurt them.

            What gave you that opinion? Historically they’ve been called “bleeding heart” liberals because they care too much.

              They care too much about everyone but Americans. They hate Americans.

                Ah nice, we’re back to Ann Coulter in 2006: “why do you hate America??” anytime someone disagrees with conservative policies.

                  Well no, not back. Democrats have kept hating Americans this entire time.

                  For the record, the voters don’t all hate Americans. Some just don’t know any better.

              Yeah, I could have phrased it better.

              Democrats hate those who disagree.

              Democrats want to hurt those who disagree.

              Better?

                Do you just go around making these claims up? You’re getting banned for calling for violence in other communities. You’re a walking liability.

                  No I’m not advocating for violence. For fucks sake, how do you get that from my comment? Unless sending more illegals to DNC places is violence, Im not advocating for jack shit

    Isn’t it interesting how Republican legislators can introduce bills for every damn thing except the fundamental issue they are so invested in ringing alarm bells over.

    It’s been almost 4 years of hand wringing over the border and I can only remember 2 bills put forward. The first was ridiculously unworkable and the second -while not perfect- was at least the strongest suggestion in years and had provisions that republicans were asking for. But oh no, Trump didn’t want the situation fixed, so everybody turned against the bill saying it was terrible, it was written by RINO hacks, worst bill ever written, etc.

    The fact is republicans don’t want a secure border, because then they wouldn’t have the threat of mexican rapists to scare people with. Constantly crying about immigrants and the border is a useful distraction. If republicans really wanted the issue fixed, they would put effort into fixing it. Democrats could be pushed into cooperation but republicans don’t want that.
