    How many times can white-out be applied to a bumper sticker? This will be ye another test for the American people ;)

    Apply WD-40, wait 30 seconds, then peel off. Works for bumper stickers from both parties.

    There is nothing to show, and if you can't provide the facts that
    support the narrative or your point(s) then it is a baseless claim and words that mean absolutely nothing.

    Since when has a lack of facts stopped Alan? If they don't have any facts, they just make them up or try to tell you that "fact that proves your point" is really "fact that proves their point".

    previous responsibility as border zar. (she sucked so badly at this)

    I thought the whole reason she was in her position was because she sucked so well. Oh! Sorry, different topic. :)

    this is a title that she as well as the media want to erase.

    The "memory hole" is becomming very clear to people now as the Propaganda Ministry buries stories that don't help the Elitists.

    Remember how a past president was almost assassinated? You'd never know listening to the Propaganda Ministry.

    The Democrats are using these people for votes. why wouldn't they vote
    for democrats, they are getting free everything when they come here. housing, health care, education for the young, food, social security.

    The illegals don't know how to vote and won't go to a polling place anyway.

    What they are going is allowing them to get driver's licenses, and when doing that, registering them to vote. Now they are on the rolls. They pay someone of the illegal's ethnic group to go door-to-door and show them how to request a mail in ballot. The mole in the gov't know when the ballots go out, so the mule goes back to everyone's good and gets them to sign the ballot, but give him the ballot (probably for money).

    OMG media just put out a nice piece recently where this was happening in the Detroit area.

    And here's another kicker... The ballots are actually bid on (since they are not filled in yet - only signed) by candidates.


    ... You are confused; but this is your normal state.

    But you said it was killed by Trump; that's different from when a bill fails. A bill fails when it fails to reach the senate, or when it fails
    pass the senate, or when the president vetoes it.

    Trump publicly asked congress to kill the bill and they obliged..

    Trump is a US citizen, just like me. I ask congress to do things sometimes, an
    sometimes they do what I ask, but they're not obligated to do what I say nor what former President Trump says.

    Unlike you or I, Trump was again running for President and didn't want his rival (who was then Biden) to be able to take credit for fixing something. Johnson, and many others in Congress, acted on the orders from Trump to
    kill the bill.

    Alan is not usually right, but he is here.

    You and Alan might both be right that Trump made a request to congress, although I have not heard or seen it. But "orders?" How does Trump "order" congress to do anything, while president or ex-president?

    Also, how can you say for sure that Trump wanted the legislation passed just to boost his campaign?

    The legislation called for the legalization of thousands of migrants per day. I can't blame anybody for rejecting it.

    The only time Alan is ever right is when he's not talking about politics.

    Trump has control over a significant follower base. If Johnson had ignored Trump's "request," all Trump would have to do is say "RINO" and that
    follower base would have been all over Johnson, or any other Republican
    that didn't follow the order.

    Also, do not forget that the Trump family now controls the RNC
    pursestrings, much like Hillary controlled the DNC pursestrings in 2016.

    So is it a direct order? No.
    Does it carry the weight of an order? Yes.
    Could not following that order have voter and/or financial consequences?
    Yes.

    Also, how can you say for sure that Trump wanted the legislation passed just t
    boost his campaign?

    He pretty much said as much.

    Sometimes people tell people to do something that they are already in the process of doing. If my rep voted in favor of the bill, I'd be angry with my rep.

    It would have cut the flow down significantly, so I would have been ok with
    it as it would have been a better compromise than doing nothing and kicking
    the can down the road until Trump becomes President.

    Which begs the question -- what if the makeup of Congress remains the same
    but Trump doesn't win this year? Are we going to be stuck with four more
    years of "doing nothing about it" so Trump can fix it in 2029?

    If it is really the "crisis" that Republicans make it out to be, they
    needed to do something about it then. They didn't, so they now can share
    the blame for the "crisis."

    There was a lot of stuff in the Secure The Border Act, including plans to resume construction of the wall.

    If the legislation had been signed into law, and then if we elect Trump in November, what would the process be of terminating that bill? Quick and easy? Or long and difficult?

    I might be expecting too much, but I'm expecting Trump to quickly and easily secure the border, and I don't want a "3000 illegals per day is ok" clause to get in the way (I might me off on that number but it was in the thousands.)

    Plus, had Biden signed it into law, then what would the migration status be of those "3000 illegals per day?" Would that mean that Trump couldn't have them deported, because they'd be protected by the Secure The Border Act?
