@earl-of-trumps saidI watched the videos. Yes, some people make it across. It still doesn't mean they say. I quote from the first video you linked:

"The vast majority of people being apprehended are being turned back by the border patrol."
@earl-of-trumps saidSo during the idiot trumps time in office nobody walked across the border? Is that the proposition here?

People have walking across that border ever since Europeans invaded someone else’s land and drew the border. Before that they would have roamed north and south across the arbitrary piece of land that you decided was a border.
Try and guess what will still be happening a hundred years from now.

@moonbus saidBut they have to keep beating the fear into their white constituents in order to retain relevance, which to them means seats in both houses of Congress.

@suzianne saidYes, it is very much a fear/scapegoat issue--"illegal immigrants are ruining the country"--to deflect from any really pressing domestic problems. Such as grinding poverty at home, or systemic racism, or militarization of the police, or the pandemic, or the Republican party's coming off the rails, or loss of confidence in the democratic process, or the lack of a national health care system, or inability to deal with mass shootings and implement sensible gun control.

@averagejoe1 saidtrolls used to be better on these forums.
Biden’s lietenants to this very day are saying it is not open’.
But every 20 minutes on the news channels are videos of people from various countries south of us walking casually across the border and disappearing into TX, AZ and points unknown.
It would be prudent, for simplicity sake, to resolve whether it is open or not, so that we dint have to banter aroun ...[text shortened]... think it is open.......is there anyone here who thinks it is not open, given the information above?
They would at least post a video (usually taken out of context) that seemed to support their claims. Maybe even hosted on something not breitbart or fox if they felt like putting in extra work.
And then you lazy donkey showed up. Minimal effort.
At least this time you got drunk after posting. This sounds borderline coherent, grammatically speaking

I never said otherwise. You are CLEARLY moving the goal post here. Whataboutism. Jeeezus, Kev.
The remark was made to show videos of people sneaking across the border. So I DID.
End of subthread.

@earl-of-trumps saidIt’s not whataboutism earl if it’s in reply to a direct claim that Biden has flung the border open and the proof of that claim is people walking across the border. They haven’t just started walking over the border since January have they, they’ve always walked over the border.

The charge of whataboutism is only valid if the comparison is not a direct rebuttal of the original premise.

@kevcvs57 saidKev? Kev??? We are talking about now. If I mention Tesla in a post, are you going to come back talking about Henry Ford contraptions back in 1912?

Typical lib debating. THEN you criticize the horrible history that “ europeans invaded someone else’s land”. Kev, are not the SAmericans invading OUR land?
Am i the only one here who gets a headach with the lib lack of readon, logic, rationale or common sense? I sense that even Marauder , your brother-in-arms, winces at your stuff.

@averagejoe1 saidJoe Joe Joe stop being disingenuous, you are making a clear comparison between Biden’s current performance regarding the border and Trumps record regarding the same.

Typical right wing strategy: make a comparison between a Dem POTUS and a Republican POTUS and when that comparison is scrutinised by a lib cry whataboutism.
People walked across the border when Trump was POTUS and they are walking across it now.
Heads up they will probably still be walking across the border when your great great grandson is POTUS, now there’s an alarming thought, and I’m talking about your porous land border.
