With so many people trying to cross the Southern border, it’s easy to believe the situation is hopeless. But it’s not. We have a situation in Washington where Congress refuses to work with the President to create the processing centers that are needed. 1/4

The GOP is refusing to negotiate in good faith because they’re using the crisis to make the President look bad in 2024. 2/4

We can house people while interviewing to see who has “ credible fear” and thus should receive asylum, then send others back so they can seek to enter legally. 3/4

In the meantime we must address root causes such as economic destabilization in migrants’ home countries (much of which we’ve contributed to), and the violence of the drug cartels (ending the Drug War will help undercut their market). 4/4

Marianne I think you are a decent person but you don’t understand that we have laws and these people are coming through illegally. Stop blaming Republicans because you are embarrassing yourself.

Close the border completely, then we'll talk.

Work with the President?? He isn’t interested in working with anyone about this invasion. Biden is not the one running our government anyway.

How about closing the border and fixing immigration which must limit or eliminate taxpayer funded assistance to non-resident aliens and ending automatic citizenship for babies of non-resident aliens.
Replying to @marwilliamson
To facilitate more people. That’s what the Dems want. How about an executive order calling for a halt to asylum seekers entering at places other than official crossings ? Case closed.
