    1. @Follower of Jesus Christ are you implying to follow Jesus you must disregard women’s rights praise the lord

    1. @Brian Holloway in the uscg we have to spend more and more money on things like drug interdiction when imo our focus should be predominantly on search and rescue and disaster recovery. We need more cutters in the Caribbean and gulf of Mexico as well as southern California and are capturing mountains of drugs. We are overstretched just as CBP..just as the state national guards…just as the local sheriffs department and state police for border states. Its no joke or a right wing talking point my friend. Its a crisis and needs attention

    2. @Brian Holloway Still with the housing crisis…we will have one soon but not yet. The housing market crashed in 09 but has been booming since then. You can’t truly believe that there are so many homeless on drugs because there isn’t enough shelter? I guess this is a change of the subject lol. I spend too much time on zillow buddy..housing crisis lol. Everybody and there mother has been getting approved for loans.

      And China? Chinas communist government and its incredible overreach has created an unsustainable demographic crisis. Remember the one child policy? Well it left China in a position where they will not be able to support themselves in the next 25 years. I could talk to tou for days about the ccp and all the terrible mistakes and atrocities that they are currently doing and have done.

  1. Texas has been on the border with Mexico since it was part of Mexico and and all that time no one in Texas can figure out a way to responsibly and humanely deal with immigration, it’s amazing.

    1. @Gustavo Deugarteyou mean that’s what you heard in your echo chamber. In reality is Latinos that came here are Republican by heart.
      Latinos for Republican Party πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸŽ‰
      We tried socialism…it doesn’t work!!!

    2. *New York should pledge to accept 1 million migrants within the year.* Show up and show out! Stop the politics, HELP THEM NY, HELP THEM Massachusetts, Help them Pelosi!!!

  2. I always thought there was some sort of immigration processing center at the border to send them where they needed to be sent, provide assistance and set appointments, etc. States that need workers can request immigrants, connections with unemployment agencies and family services, maybe HUD with section 8 housing or a social worker assigned to them? All the services are there, they just need to connect via a social worker. There ya go, problem fixed. I’m sure President Biden will love the ratings boost lol. All we really have is a failure to communicate. In my opinion. βœŒπŸ»πŸ’™πŸ€—

    1. @Jimmy James Nah, same should apply to all who need help. Whomever needs public assistance should get a case worker to connect all the services. Need food stamps? Ok, let’s put you in the system and see what pops out that you qualify for. Like I said, all the services are there already but they just need to connect. Most people just need a little help to get back on their feet.

    2. @Deanne Williams clearly you have never been homeless. I have. Most are drug addicts by choice, criminals hiding from warrants (me at that time), and many just don’t want to work and see responsibility as a burden. The majority are there from poor life choices. So please don’t tell me most just need a little help. I actually know better.

    3. @Jimmy James I speak from experience and have spent years wishing all the agencies would connect. They want to make the whole process as hard as possible so we give up without knowing what we even qualify for. Disabled people and senior citizens have the hardest time, they especially need advocates/social workers/ whatever you want to call them. Please don’t assume you know my life, if you’re not in the millionaire club or above, we’re all in the same boat.

  3. Hold UP! Did he say the last time there was a “hard push” for immigration reform was a bipartisan bill in 2017? But nothing has happened during THIS administration? So what happened to the bill/negotiations in in the 4 years between 2017 & 2021? Do these people hear themselves when they speak?

    1. @eric sullivan Agree, tho the Best situation I’d like to See is Trump/Desantis in 24 then Desantis in 2028 & Possibly again in 2032.

    2. Nope they don’t and they don’t know that that when we hold a flashlight on one side of their ears we can see the light on the other.

  4. 4:58 “Give us what we want first and then we’ll talk about what you want.” Just because your constituents are dumb doesn’t mean we are.

    1. Never trust a person who can’t give you a straight answer. Either he’s dishonest or hiding something (deceptive).

  5. Did you hear him about abortion? He said in a number of years. That means he fully supports Grahams proposal just β€œnot right now”. Make sure you’re hearing things properly before voting

  6. Imagine all the people
    Livin’ life in peace
    You

    You may say I’m a dreamer
    But I’m not the only one
    I hope someday you’ll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man

  7. “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

    Capitalism created the immigration crisis and capitalist propaganda perpetuates the crisis.

    1. @Adam Roe That’s hilarious. They’ve been coming in for a long time. Why is it suddenly Biden’s problem. You turds have a selective memory.

  8. It’s crazy to me that politicians complain about issues, but never offer a solution. If he thinks immigration is such a big problem, then he should draft legislation to address those issues and stop passing the buck.

    1. @Lexy Swope What? Native Americans make up a good portion of his constituents in South Dakota. Wouldn’t it be worse if he acted like they didn’t exist?

  9. How you make your point is just as important, if not more important, than the point that you are trying to make. Acts of inhumanity and cruelty are not acceptable ways to make your point.

  10. That was quite the softball interview. Jake needed to step up and not move forward unless the senator agreed to answer the initial question.

  11. I’m going to withhold judgement right now. I think we should wait a while and see what states come up with. We definitely need to address this in the future . . . just whatever you do, don’t ask me to commit to anything right now! The story of Mike Rounds’s career.

  12. If they were doing their best, then they would reach out to other Governors to work out where these people can be placed & where they can go. These Governors are using these people as pawns. It’s absolutely disgusting!

    1. @Really? So you think ejecting the migrants from a resort in less than 48 hours is doing something to help?? What source do you need to see the obvious ?????
