I guess you don't drive a car, buy food or pay monthly bills or pay taxes and don't care about the border. You vote for feelings and others vote on issues.
But to Republicans, the issues are mainly focused on still trying to get everybody to believe Trump lost by massive fraud, get abortion banned at the national level, and if they take the house get back at Democrats for impeaching Trump by impeaching Biden.

That's not in their platform except for voting I.D. laws while Democrats lie by calling it Jim Crow on steroids. Nobody is trying to get abortion ban on the national level, another lie. The S.C. took it back to the states to take it out of the federal hands.

Democrats were calling for the impeachment of Trump before he took the oath but now you are complaining that might be done to Biden? LOL


You Democrats keep lying and lying and add the lies about recession and changing the definition and then complain why people question the election when you say Biden won fair and square?

It is an interesting Governor's race here in Texas.

As for Governor Abbott, he is trying to walk a tightrope.

One the one hand, he claims that President Biden has declared an 'open border' with Mexico.

On the other hand, he brags that he had secured the border.

Now, for fundraising purposes, he cites the 'open border'.

Yet, he still maintains in speeches that he has secured the border.

He brags about shipping illegals to other areas of the county.

He does not speak of the cost of busing illegals to DC and New York City. One survey found that he (or, rather, us taxpayers in Texas) spends $1,400.00 to bus each and every illegal to far flung cities.

Mr. Trump has claimed that he secured the border by his wall. Mr. Abbott says the border is open.


I do know this: the Texas-Mexico border is not 'open'. If it were 'open', then the illegals would not face consequences for crossing it.

Plus: in 2020 and 2021, the number of illegals was way down, but due to the pandemic.

Also plus: many corporations in Texas are angry at Governor Abbott. Roofing companies, for example, love illegals. They do work that citizens won't do. They collect paychecks that they send back to Mexico, or wherever. They then return home.

I have some knowledge of this. My mother's father used to own an iron factory here in Fort Worth. The factory relied on illegals, since no citizen wanted the job (I worked there for a year, in 1975, before deciding to gain a college education and law license). All the workers came from a small area in Mexico. After raids, my grandfather sent the worker's last pay to their village.

This is no lie. A lot of companies depend on illegals. They do the job cheaply. They work for a spell, then usually go back home.

Texas has, at least for my close to 7 decades, relied on 'cheap labor'.

It is the capitalist way, stretching back to Roman times. The wealthy rely on cheap labor.

If every 'illegal' was prevented from crossing the border, the crime rate would not change, but the prise of roofing, meat, etc, will go way up.

Another clueless open border post. Do you speak Spanish? Do you know the history and culture South of the Border? I do. When you say it's o.k. to accept illegals in masses because Americans won't do the job you really are insulting Americans and the rule of law.

These companies give them jobs against the law because they don't want to pay Americans the minimum or benefits. They don't even pay the taxes that Americans have to pay. Then you brag that these illegals make the money underground here to send back to their countries putting a heavy burden on Americans because they have to pay for the social cost of illegals while they are here with their huge families and their problems they bring from their countries. When citizens of a country doesn't invest their earnings in the community they live in or adapts to the standards of the country they invaded , it deteriorates and makes communities mediocre and living under inferior standards at the expense of Americans paying taxes.

If We have over 20 million illegals and preventing millions of more that most are poor and already come with social problems and lack of law and order why do you say the crime rate would not change if We enforce our laws? Even if it goes down by 10% to 15%, it's still went down. For you to say over 20 millions of illegals won't commit any crime when they commit a crime to start just being here shows your bias and wishful thinking.

No other country in the world accepts massive illegal immigration or has sanctuary cities to protect them at the expense of the people of the country for the benefit of a few.

No one's changing their vote based on Abortion. I'm Pro Abortion and will never vote for a Leftist Politician, now that the Democrats opened their arms to No border Socialists, the nation of Islam, Marxist BLM leaders, and even the KKK in the form of Democrat Senator Robert Byrd. May the new Leftist Democrat party go down in flames

They quite well could. Alot of candidates think if they fail this time they try again next election. The problem is there might not be a 'next' election where a GOP even stands a chance especially if Dems get majorities. This isn't like the old days. Things move fast and change is more accepted. The GOP has to get up to speed. Many new Republicans would/will do great if given a chance but they might not get one if the party doesn't get up to speed they will lose.

There we have it. Another trumplican telling us what Robert Byrd was 8 decades ago. We know the kind of trash Trump is drawing today when over 800 of them were arrested for beating up the police and trying to install a man as president because they love his racism. Let me guess here, you supported Trump because you thought he had a great plan for our healthcare, not because he hates the same people that you hate.

But both Republican candidates in the runoff for U. S. Senator in Oklahoma support ban on abortion at the national level. That is absolutely no lie. One of them has even indicated that he is 100% pro-life with no exceptions.

Why shouldn't Republicans seek to impeach Biden to get back at Democrats for impeaching Trump?
