Lisa Benson for January 27, 2024

How many years have both parties had to work on this? What has sleazy45 said recently about trying to make progress before the election?

Re elect Joe Biden 2024 he needs 4 more. Years to do nothing

Sexual predator trump is sabotaging a bipartisan immigration solution just to have something to run on. His economic record is atrocious compared with Biden’s.

Republicans continue to sabotage all efforts to improve the border situation.

More proof that they don’t want to improve anything, only make ‘issues’ to weaponize and LIE about.

Democrats could secure the border, but they won’t.

Joe Biden took the time to visit Arizona on September 28, 2023 only to avoid and ignore his border crisis.

Does Texas governor Abbott have a compadre South of the border.

Yea because 94 charges felon is sooooooooooooo much better

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

This couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Trump telling Republicans in congress not to do anything, could it?

You Democrat Communists are funny.

If Joe REALLY wanted to stop this invasion (because that’s what it is) he could go back to Trumps remain in Mexico policy, and the First nation policy. If immigrants first crossed through another nation and failed to apply for asylum there, with some exceptions. The measure would effectively block all asylum seekers at the southern border, except Mexicans. Plus Trump’s administration built 52 miles of new primary border barriers — the first impediment people encounter if they’re trying to cross the southern border with Mexico, that can block access either for people on foot or for vehicles — where there were none before.The administration built 458 total miles of primary and secondary border barriers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection data shows. The majority were replacements of smaller, dilapidated barriers.

Amazing, the unemployment is so low, yet families can’t afford food, gas, to buy a home, and we have like 8 million more people in this country. So what gives?

If you’re not part of the solution, you are the problem. Is this too complicated for you, Ms. Benson?

For weeks, a dedicated team of Republican and Democrat Senators have been spending hours to work out a border security bill. Neither side is getting all of what they want. Neither side is giving away the store to finish this Bill. This is democracy with both sides coming together to make something better for all.

Now, Trump is trying to sabotage the effort. He wants Republicans to scuttle the Bill because he wouldn’t personally be able to claim the credit. Furthermore, he wants to use the border issue against President Biden. Fortunately, a number of Republican Senators have called out Trump for his interference. Whether it is enough to overcome those Senators who lick Trump’s boots remains to be seen.

Oh look, he got caught in Greg Abbott’s deadly razor wire that the Supreme Court told him to remove. Texas republicans are lawless liars and totally incompetent.

Trump is killing any progress on border security. He has ordered Speaker Johnson to kill it. Border security is Trump’s political football. He’s not going to fumble that away.

25 states are so far supporting Texas. Biden will not win this standoff. If he comes down hard on Texas he loses votes. If he continues ushering in hoards of more illegals he loses votes. If he does nothing he demonstrates his weak leadership and loses votes. That is a trifecta for the Republicans. Don’t mess with Texas.

Republicans and dems were on the verge of a deal and Traitor trump told the republicans not to settle the border issue because Trump wants our border to be an open sore.

If the laws on the books were enforced, the border problem would be solved. Who is in charge for enforcing federal laws?

do people actually still believe these people? how many lies must be exposed, lawsuits must be lost, multi-million dollar judgements must be awarded, before they say… hmm, maybe they aren’t trustworthy.

Using the barbed wire that has ripped up and drowned refugees, including children, is in very poor taste.

The falsely named “liberal media” is corporate. The REAL record on President Biden are NOT reported. The corporate media wants to report on Trump’s antics for more “clicks”.

Then: Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. Now: Mr. Biden, finish that wall.

Obviously, Ms Benson does not use the sources available at her public library.

Well, Lisa at least you aren’t pushing your hatred of the migrants themselves.

Not a trump but we need to finish the wall wake up Joe and smell the coffee

Please show me where in the Bible Jesus taught his followers to setup razor wire to keep people out of his country.

You aren’t going to stop desperate people short of killing them. If the situations that send them here don’t change, I don’t care who is President, they will keep coming.

Except now he doesn’t own it. Congress is writing a bipartisan bill to address the border problem and fund Ukraine and Israel, but conservatives are going to tank it to prevent a “win” for Pres. Biden.

The Republicans complain that Biden is (a) old and (b) hasn’t done anything about the border. Their solution? Nominate an old man who INSISTS Republicans do nothing about the border.

Nice.

Not even the Border Patrol can save Biden now.

Libs are thankful that Hairy Drivel and Lessa Bentson and their MAGAt followers post as they consume a lot of Orange Kool-Aid. They constantly remind us of the ignorance, hatred and lack of conscience that exists in a portion of the voter base which we have to continually fight.

It ain’t over until the Fat Orange sings.

Lisa does give an interesting glimpse into the bizarro world that the Repub mind lives in.

Don’t pay attention to polls or ratings, as they are way too often biased and influenced by how poorly reality is portrayed in the corporate owned media.

The optics of removing the wire isn’t a good look. Abbott is pretty good at exposing their hypocrisy. Nobody has explained exactly how it is keeping the CBP from doing their work, unless they are supposed to be welcoming the people crossing the Rio Grande with a hug and a blanket.

Don’t look now, it’s going up.

I hope you learn your lesson when they come and put razor wire around your house.

The border is among the least of my concerns. It may appeal to xenophobes and racists, but not decent people.

Yeah, sure, and those multi-million “undocumented asylum-seeking indigents” (Reads better than “illegals”) that started when the Big Guy signed his first day executive orders has nothing to do with our discontent?!?

That’s the reason the Republican Party has died. Allegiance to tRump instead of passing legislation to help those poor immigrants and our country.

Joe Biden offered a bill to increase funds for boarder security, the Republicans in the House won’t consider it due to fact that it’s good. The blame is solely on the Republicans.

Biden is urging Congress to pass a bipartisan border bill that will put more border agents in the border and increase funds for border security. Donald Trump is urging the small (albeit noisy) Freedom Caucus to sabotage it. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the border has replaced that decision as the RWNJ’s new boogeyman. To the remaining GOP in both houses of Congress, they should remember the adage, “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good”. Hopefully, this bill will be passed and signed.

His job approval is only dropping among people with an IQ above 5 and who are paying attention. He can do no wrong in the eyes of his fan base of low IQ voters.

Yow! Reading all the replies to this cartoon reinforce my desire to say: FJB.

True that. He and his ilk are to blame.

Biden job approval rating is sinking like the Titanic slow and with a full orchestra celebrating the fall!
