    Congress needs to move the asylum process online and through the various state department embassies and end the practice of declaring at the border.
    Odd that the Republican Congress sat on its hands for two years during this intolerable crisis.

    Why is it always red team v blue team with you? They both should be ashamed they can't get rational immigration reform done.

    however true this may be, only red team had the power to do it all on their own from 2016-2018.

    is there some good reason you refuse to hold them accountable for their inaction?

    Blue team had complete control 2009-2011.

    is there some good reason you refuse to hold them accountable for their inaction?

    Why can't you admit they both suck and don't really want to solve the problem?

    break law you should pay price
    I agree.

    Should trump be indicted and go to prison now for those two felony campaign violations that he is an official co-conspirator of?
    It is a legal court filing in a case where Cohen has plead guilty and has affirmed that Trump ordered him to.

    Should trump pay the price for breaking these laws?

    I criticized their ham-handed enforcement only approach just like I do the present administration.

    lol @ CC, the reasonable centrist who refuses to criticize Republicans unless Democrats are criticized at the same time, for the same thing.

    Honestly, it's just a general disgust with both parties for the partisan bickering, political games, and talking points without ever solving real problems. We are all being played for fools.

    face it CC, there's only one party that's using the totem of border enforcement and President as an excuse to furlough hundreds of thousands of USG government workers or make them work for free.

    that's not negotiation, that's a hostage situation.

    Trump and McConnell are screwing public servants.

    bull . Pelosi is scared less of the new radicals in her party and is petrified of compromising one inch.

    There has to be a compromise that reasonable adults could come to if they both actually negotiated in good faith.

    Pelosi knows that Trash, and a majority of Senate Repugs, have screwed themselves about the wall to pander to their cultivated, white male racist base, so she's not going to give them any way out.

    It's ing hilarious, my schadenfreude is deliciously without limit

    CC still refuses to let any cross word about the GOP transpire, but loosens his tongue to disparage Democrats.

    What's wrong with the bill the Senate passed on a unanimous voice vote just before the new House majority was seated?

    It was practically the first bill passed out of the House in the new session.

    Where did Republican unanimity go on that one? There were more than enough votes to override a veto and get government back to work.



    Oh, that's right, Trump got his marching orders from co-Presidents Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and welshed on the agreement.

    I Googled it since Derwood is such a pussy.

    In spring and summer 2014, the number of children reached a crisis point. During fiscal year 2014 (October 2013-September 2014), 68,541 unaccompanied children were apprehended at the US/Mexico border— a 77 percent increase over the previous year.

    https://www.vox.com/2014/10/10/18088...ma-immigration

    And it was described as such.

    An actual crisis.

    Not the same as today.

    Do you consider the border situation to be a crisis today, Darrin?

    Yes or no.

    Come on CC, *now* you're offended with Congress inaction, brinkmanship and partisanship? Where was all this complaining when Mitch was filibustering everything?

    I remember there was a group of GOP senators looking to address this (IIRC, Rubio and the late McCain were in it) when Barry was re-elected, and were completely shut down by their own Senate. It was ok to kick the can the, but not now?
