Biden, after creating the border crisis: “I’ve done all I can do.” President Trump: “On day one, my administration will terminate every open border policy of the Biden administration."
@GOP Congress controls FUNDING based on our Constitution, not the President. To catch, house, and deport people costs money. Border agents get Paid. The GOP Congress is BLOCKING FUNDING TO CREATE THIS CRISIS! They do not solve problems; they EXPLOIT problems to CONTROL YOU!
@GOP Multiple sources witnessed TRUMP CALL VETERANS "SUCKERS" AND "LOSERS." They spoke on record with the Atlantic, which has not retracted the story, nor been sued. More recently, Gen. John Kelly, Trump's Chief of Staff who ran the WH, confirmed the story. youtube.com/watch?v=WYqPw5…
@GOP How? Trump says lots of wonderful things. He failed when he had the house and senate. HOW is important. Trump’s promises are vapid. You should have chosen @NikkiHaley. My independent vote couldn’t be further from Trump. •
@GOP So fix the border by voting on the bipartisan border bill or would you rather have this problem?
@GOP Trump will never be president, and Republicans refuse to pass border security bill
@GOP Republicans are blocking border security funding. It is a Republican border crisis.
@GOP The Border Crisis brought to you by Republicans every election cycle. 🙄
Fact Check: Donald Trump is lying. The right to seek asylum was incorporated into international law following the atrocities of World War II. Congress adopted key provisions of the Geneva Refugee Convention into U.S. immigration law when it passed the Refugee Act of 1980. UNDER THE LAW, people arriving at the U.S. border have the right to request asylum without being criminalized, turned back, used for political stunts or separated from their children no matter how they arrive here, including walking over the border. No president has the power to block asylum seekers under current law. DONALD TRUMP never "closed" the border. In November 2018, Trump issued a proclamation barring the entry of migrants unless they entered at ports of entry. The same day, the administration issued new regulations making those who entered the U.S. illegally between ports of entry ineligible for asylum. Trump’s proclamation largely relied on Section 212(f) of the INA, the same section cited by House Speaker Mike Johnson, arguing that President Biden already had the authority to “close” the southern border. THE COURTS, however, blocked Trump’s effort. A federal District Court judge in California temporarily halted Trump’s effort, after concluding that barring migrants who enter outside of designated ports of entry from seeking asylum violated federal immigration law, international law and “the expressed intent of Congress.” “Whatever the scope of the President’s authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden,” the judge wrote. THE U.S. COURT OF APPLEALS, in a 2-1 decision in December 2018, denied the Trump administration’s emergency motion for a stay of the District Court’s order. The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, but its motion to stay the District Court ruling blocking enforcement of the policy was denied. “THE PRESIDENT does not have the authority to close the border under 212(f),” Denise Gilman, co-director of the Immigration Clinic and law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, told us via email. THE PROBLEM we're facing is due to a surge in immigrants that began under Donald Trump. To handle the surge, the border needs more resources, but Republicans have blocked every effort to increase resources. That means there is no other choice but to release immigrants until their asylum hearings can be held. That now takes YEARS. REPUBLICANS manufactured the border crisis to help Trump get elected. Today, 98% of immigrants who arrive at the border willingingly turn themselves in to border patrol agents to request asylum. Once that happens, the must be let in. It would take an act of Congress to change the law. Republicans are blocking that too. factcheck.org/2024/02/unrave…
