Ask any member of the John Birch wing of the Republican Party their biggest complaint of Joe Biden, and while the list is long, the BORDER is at the top; always.
It is patently obvious, it is convenient for them to not understand capitalism and the unlimited influence to political policy afforded corporate America by Citizens United which allows unlimited political contributions .
Ladies and gentlemen, it is the BEST interest (and profitability) of vast segments of our economy (agriculture, hospitality etc etc) to have an UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF THE CHEAPEST POSSIBLE LABOR. And to that end, the employers in those sectors splash vast sums of money to lawmakers on BOTH sides of the aisle to make damn sure NO border policy is enacted that would INTERRUPT THAT FLOW OF LABOR, or worse, impact their quarterly earning statement (profit).
And please notice the former President, who doesn’t know policy from a social disease, came swooning in to claim credit for the death of the last bi-partisan effort on border policy which was dead on arrival for the reasons above.
We used to be presented with games; connect the dots. It was to develop critical thinking, the skills required to solve puzzles (and problems)..
Please, EVERYBODY, connect the dots on border policy. You can blame the politicians on both sides for taking the money but follow the money to find the culprits. Following the money never fails to get you to who is actually in charge.

I have nothing nor any desire to be affiliated with JBS however our border security is at the TOP of my list as it should be any true American. Those that want to come legally and with work permits still are welcome. The rest are NOT especially since most are NOT from the south but all over the middle east as well as Asia and entering from our NORTHERN and SOUTHERN borders. Have you read recently about the murder for hire plot right here in Ravalli County? Trump was RIGHT. Illegals are criminals.

The Last “Border Deal” was as is typical, a Tutu on a Pig. Why? Because the “Border” deal was sending $95MM to Foreign countries, and alotted only $20MM to the “Border”. And……..Most of that was going to judeges and administration workers who could speed up the entry of the Ridiculous amount people pouring through our border..
Oh… And the Former President, handed this corrupt geriatric old fart currently in the white house, a border system that was working.

Absolutely on the mark. As my Iowa farmer uncle used to say, when explaining all political motives: “Follow the dollar.”
