All the tariff talk is a distraction. It's a distraction that the media needs in order to get people to stop thinking about the Biden Border Crisis.

What crisis? It's over, Trump fixed it, right?

WRONG. Biden let in millions of illegals, according to CBP. And Trump has deported hundreds, according to media reports. This means that the border crisis is still in full-swing, and that we need to reject the media's attempt to give us a false sense of security.

Here's a hint: Any terrorists who want to harm us, who have successfully entered illegally, will not be swayed by the "Self deport" slogan or the "If you self-deport then you can still come back legally."

Despite headlines, despite who's president, beware of the Biden border crisis.

No it really isn't, at least not in the sense you say it is. The media wouldn't have it to talk about if Trump would stop flip-flopping on it. So
the question becomes "if it is a distraction, what is *Trump* trying to distract us from"?

Now *this* sounds like a distraction.

That's a good question. I love Trump, but I'll be the first to admit that he's distracting from the border crisis with all kinds of crap.

On the bright side, he's helping by deporting hundreds of migrants, but the dark reality is that his pace is lackluster and it's not the de-envasion that we were hoping for.

Ignore the headlines. They are usually click-bait anyway.

But the problem is that if you have a ship with hundreds of holes in the bottom, you work at plugging them. And you are going to forget about the big holes that are still being worked on.

I don't think that's intended, but rather the way it is. Trump has lots of problems to solve - or at least to get the ball rolling to solve - in only 4 years. While we can't forget about the border crisis, we can't focus on it either.

I understand. He's definitely doing the best he can. But I'll still complain about the slow speed of the deportations whenever someone wants me to speak
critically of Trump. (He can't screw over the left fast enough!)

It is quick enough that they are deporting people they shouldn't, and the USSC has told them they need to figure out how to get at least one of
them back.

It's just 1 guy. And Bukele said that he's keeping him.

My daughter is afraid to have any friends over because of the giant Trump flag that I have on the front porch. I told her "I'll take the flag down, but if I do, I'm putting it in my car and I'm gonna carry it with me every place I go." (So we're keeping it on the front porch for now hehe)

They've deported more than one to El Salvador that should not have been. They've so far only been told by the court that they have to return one.

Let's see if our federal judges can boss people around in El Salvador.

The guy came here illegally, but the prosecution is on Trump. How is that fair?

Should we bring him back here so we can charge him with illegal entry? Do you want to pay for his airfare for that?

Most certainly so. While I agree an action was necessary, I don't completely agree on how they carried it out. Some of them already had hearings
scheduled, and those should have been allowed to procede.

I don't hate Trump. I do find it very odd that folks will suddenly change their own opinions, to align with his, every time he opens his mouth and
not think to question why they would do so.

The guy came here illegally, but the prosecution is on Trump. How is that

air

Because he was deported without due process, i.e. he did not get his time before a judge. That is why the prosecution is on the Trump administration.

Even if he did come here illegally from one country, there is no law on the books that says we can send you to a supermax facility in *another*
country. If he was being deported for being illegal, he should have been
sent back to Venezuela, not El Salvador.

Should we bring him back here so we can charge him with illegal entry? Do you want to pay for his airfare for that?

No, I don't want to pay for it, but I am smart enough to see that there was a mistake made and now it needs to be fixed. I am also smart enough to see
that whoever didn't do their homework before these raids needs to be
punished -- probably fired.

The problem is the ratio of brainwashed to non-brainwashed is a little high in places like Binghamton High School.

They're kids, so unfortunately not many of them will break free from the brainwashing until a little later in life. (I didn't know the dealio until Obama.)

There's this problem though: Venezuela doesn't do enough to keep their criminals from wandering into the USA. At least we know that we're safer with him in CECOT. Venezuela should do everything they can to "bring him home" since he's their problem and not ours.

The polls are showing that the younger crowd is getting more and more conservative. At least they aren't getting brainwashed by the Wokies. So there might be some hope here.

You are not safer with him in CECOT. He was allegedly not even a gang
member and was here *legally*.

You are actually less safe because it means they can screw up and send
anyone down there, and they not be able to get them back.

That's the first I've heard about that. But even if he was here legally, he wasn't born here, he's not a citizen, and therefore he can be deported for failing to pay a parking ticket, for applying for food stamps, or for many other minor crimes. None of us have any solid facts on him, so it's just as ridiculous to defend him as it is to condemn him.

That he can be deported is not in question. That he was loaded onto a
plane and deported without due process is the issue.

If you don't see the slippery slope of totalitarian moves and instead

government overreach as weakness or a victim mindset, I don't know what
