They'd be happy if we reduced gun traffic from the US I to Mexico.
Is that what racism is these days?
There's a lot of racism about this issue that have nothing to do with Fast and Furious.

Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
No. It was to highlight how Trump failed on his largest campaign promiseJ.R. said:BS.... Do you really believe that?

In Reversal, Biden Administration Waives Regulations to Expand Border Wall
The government cited the high numbers of migrants in the Rio Grande Valley in justifying the decision to build barriers along the Southern border.
Confronted with a surge of migrants, the Biden administration has decided to waive more than 20 federal laws and regulations, including environmental ones, to erect barriers along the Southern border.
President Biden had campaigned vociferously against a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which his predecessor had championed as a key deterrent to unlawful crossings.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, said that easing the laws was necessary to expedite construction of sections of a border wall in South Texas, where thousands of migrants have been crossing the Rio Grande daily to reach U.S. soil.
A notice published in the Federal Register on Thursday said that the secretary "has determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas."
The U.S. Border Patrol in the Rio Grande Valley had encountered more than 245,000 migrants who had entered the country between ports of entry, or unlawfully, in the 2023 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, the notice said.
"There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States," said Mr. Mayorkas in the notice.
It added that construction would be built with funds appropriated by Congress in 2019 for wall construction in the Rio Grande Valley. That appropriation followed a disaster declaration by the Trump administration amid soaring numbers of border crossers.
Mr. Biden said on Thursday that he had no choice but to use the money for the wall.
"The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn't. They wouldn't," he told reporters, apparently referring to Congress.
Asked whether he thought the border wall was effective, he replied, "no."
In January 2021, on Mr. Biden's first day in office, the administration revoked the disaster declaration and halted construction. In a proclamation, he said that, "Building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution."
Mr. Trump erected some 550 miles of the hulking, rust-colored bollard fence along the border, much of it to replace shorter, older barriers. Still, smugglers have successfully loosened beams to dig holes, or have flung rope-ladders over the structure, that have enabled many migrants to breach the border.

Apparently it's budgetary law.
If it was "budgetary law" from the Trump Administration, why has construction been stopped for three years? Have they been violating the law all that time?
So Democrats can ignore the law if "they think it doesn't work?"

Were they following "budgetary law" when they sold off (for pennies on the dollar) the stockpiled construction supplies and materials? And where did those pennies go?
That's the opposite point of Dems. The law was rather specific that the $ waw to be spent on the wall.JXL said:Waco1947 said:Bc Democrats don't believe walls work.JXL said:Waco1947 said:

So when they spent no money on the wall last year or the year before, they were in violation of the law that you just cited, right?
