Steve Kelley for February 29, 2024

Once again:

Republicans want to CLOSE THE BORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except they don’t.

.

They have NO policy or policies they have proposed or passed (Republicans control the House). NONE. They torpedoed the bipartisan Border Bill so they could have an ‘issue’ to weaponize and LIE about.

When Trump was elected, and they had control of BOTH chambers, they proposed NO legislation. NONE.

And the border was NEVER closed.

.

Instead, they constantly scream that the border is OPEN whenever a Democrat is president, and claim it’s all under control when a Republican is president. (It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It). They do not pass, or even propose legislation. The ONLY solution they believe in, is The Wall, that they believe Mexico will pay for.

It is, again, government by bumper sticker.

.

What they DO, is to hire illegals at all levels of business, AND invoke massive amounts of H-1B visas, and other H-1 visas to import ‘legals’ who nobody tracks.

Their analysis consists solely of tracking crimes committed by illegals and screaming that none of that would have happened without the porous border.

Mike Johnson is partly responsible for this death, since part of the money was to hire more judges to speed up to hear these cases.

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

Too complicated for liberals. I wonder how they will blame Trump and Republicans who want to build a wall rather than process people faster.

Paynefully stupid

Is there an entrance to heaven for people mowed down by mass murderers who were born in the US, used legally purchased guns, and just decided one day to commit suicide?

She paid the price of the Biden regimes wide open border policy. The perp was arrested in NYC prior and, of course, released. This is not the only case, illegals are committing crimes all over the place. An illegal was arrested this week in Louisiana for raping a 14 year old girl, thankfully she survived.

There’s a reason immigration is one of the top concerns among voters in consistent polling. The Biden regime finally realizes this after three years of open borders, and wants to pretend they’re going to do something about it now.

We want to close the border, we just don’t want to allow Biden to fix the problem that he created.

The illegal came here under the current laws that delay deportation until the person has had his immigration hearing. He arrived in September 2022 and was still awaiting a hearing as required by current immigration law. Republicans just defeated a bill that would have shortened that process and allowed for him to either be deported or granted legal status. Stupid Maga Republicans..

God hates liars! Steve you still have time to repent!

Immigration and the border are separate and dems blocked gw 5 times on reform so shut it!!

So, another RWNJ uses a murder victim to push his agenda — disgusting!

So, it’s only immigrants that murder, or is it only the illegals? Get real Kelley!

It is easy to cut through the fence, from Washington Post:“The breaches have been made using a popular cordless household tool known as a reciprocating saw that retails at hardware stores for as little as $100. When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one of the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards in minutes, according to the agents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the barrier-defeating techniques.

After cutting through the base of a single bollard, smugglers can push the steel out of the way, creating an adult-size gap. Because the bollards are so tall — and are attached only to a panel at the top — their length makes them easier to push aside once they have been cut and are left dangling, according to engineers consulted by The Washington Post."

Such foggy thinking going on here. We all know there are many reasons why bad people murder. This particular discussion concerns a non-citizen who was in this country illegally and should never have had the chance to murder anyone here in the first place. It is an entirely preventable murder. That’s why people are upset.

If Egypt had a border wall, Herod would have murdered baby Jesus.

Wow. A tunnel under the wall. Wow. A plane over it. Wow. Someone scaled the wall. Wow. Smuggled through the gate. Wow. Fake green card. Wow. Bribed officials. Wow

It’d be easier if you idiots just came right out and said you only want white men to have firearms.

When we have a mass shooting (been a few days) do they ever mention the nationality? You never hear “Some guy, born in Dallas, just slaughtered seventeen nuns.” do you?

There are something like 20,000+ murders in the US every year. About 55 a day. The vast majority of those murders are committed by Americans, illegal immigrants have a lower incidence of crime. But of course the racist side of the republican party will only be concerned with the one murder committed by an illegal immigrant.

Meanwhile, Trump demands the Speaker to keep the border open for his campaign. The Speaker is obeying.

Apparently St Peter is a judgmental as a republican.

Yes, a wall. A fictitious wall.

A 22 year old UGA Nursing student was killed by Joe Biden illegal immigrant, Also in Kenner, Louisiana, a 14 year old girl was raped by another one of Joe Biden illegal immigrant.

I haven’t been to heaven. I’m pretty sure that no one commenting here, or presenting an editorial cartoon, has ever been there. So how do we know there’s a wall?

And what would that wall, if it exists, mean? Does it mean that the supreme being is afraid that people will get in without his/her knowledge/permission otherwise? Or is it necessary to keep all the good people from leaving?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Good thing you guys enacted that new border legislation . . . oh . . . wait . . . you didn’t, because Don Feleone wants this kind of stuff to happen for his political advantage.

Oh look of the 58 to 60 murders that occur daily in the U.S. the republican’ts politicize this one and blame it on the democrats while failing daily to do their jobs, because they have a political agenda to point these out in a manner that seems disastrous all because the democrats are waiting for the republican’ts to get off their collective butts and do their job: but they don’t have dictator don’s approval. Still wondering what he has that he is blackmailing them with?

Biden and the Demoncrats have Laken Riley’s blood on their hands!

How many Native Americans were murdered by immigrants?

When someone dies in a school shooting, the Left works to take away guns from everyone, including law-abiding citizens. But when a young, 22-year-old is murdered by an illegal immigrant that their policies let into the country, their first inclination isn’t to deport all of the migrants who pose a danger to Americans — it’s to dismiss it as random. Their outrage is obviously selective, based on their preferred political narrative of that moment.

Yep. That wall that Donnie never built and that Mexico didn’t pay for.

I like the “Wall” comment. Even heaven is depicted as having walls, and a gate to vet those who desire entrance. Hmmm…

I wonder, if this guy had killed a Black, Native, or Hispanic girl,th ere would be this outcry. I doubt if there are that many people coming to America for the express purpose of committing violent crime; after all it would seem to be easier to do that where they came from. And while there have been a couple of high-profile cases, the fact is that although there are many problems with refugees and migrants, they have not significantly increased the crime rate here; nationally the crime rate is going down, not up.

Wow only 16, and murdered by class mates who were egged on by the "Christians " in Oklahoma. I’m sure Kelley doesn’t want to acknowledge or talk about that. Domestic terrorists and American Taliban is STILL the greatest threat to our country. Next Benedict was killed for being something these fanatics say they hate. Funny thing is, the people who vehemently hate gays and trans people are usually closet gay and trans. Because they hate who they are, and don’t have the nerve to come out, and be who they really are, they take that rage out on people that do have the nerve to be who they are. This is so vile. If the Christian God supports this, he’s the devil.

The Wall that Trump failed to build. The Wall that would make no difference anyway.

Illegal immigrant commit crimes at a much lower rate than do American citizens. I don’t see you drawing cartoons about that, though.

Well they blew the horns, and the walls came down…

In the last week alone, illegal aliens have been arrested for:Murdering a college student in Georgia, murdering a two-year-old boy in Maryland, raping a minor in Virginia raping a minor at knifepoint in Louisiana, and shooting three DC police officers…You are not safe in Joe Biden’s America especially if you’re a woman or a cop

Trump had made an announcement about visiting the border. Then Biden announces visit for same day. FJB!

Due to the GOP and the SCOTUS being bought and paid for by the GOP, hundreds of school children, concert goes, movie theatre patrons, and shoppers have been killed by guns. Hundreds die by suicide each year. Kelley and the GOP seem to feel that the real issue isn’t guns, it’s immigration. And, everything braindead says it accurate.

No new laws needed. There’s already a law, U.S. 1325. Just enforce it.

We had Wokesters here days ago claiming the border was secure, all it took was a few murders, rapes, beatings to wake up the woke just long enough to blame Republicans for the problem. It’s not going to work this time, Biden owns every bad act committed by his poor decisions. It will only get worse, 10,000,000 chances and growing every day.

From the Daily Cartoonist:

“There is fair commentary and there is race-baiting, and while we certainly need to work on border security, Trump’s screeds that Latino immigrants are drug dealers, criminals and racists were not only blatantly racist at the time — and amplified by his outrageous attack on an American-born Latino judge — but are simply not born out by statistics.

You can’t logically complain about millions of illegal immigrants and then make a fetish over one who commits murder. If they’re all so ee-vill, how are any of us Good Americans left alive? And if millions of murderous rapist drug dealers have only managed to kill poor Laken Riley, what are you so afraid of?

Granted, the hateful appeal is being made to people terrified to go to the grocery store without a gun, but it’s fair commentary to point out that good old Born Americans are shooting our kids at quite a rate, and I’ll see your Laken Riley and raise you a Kaylin Gillis and a Heather Rowe and a Ralph Yarl.

But there’s no need to play whatabout, because the statistics alone give the lie to this fearmongering. The Cato Institute is hardly a leftwing unicorn factory, but even there, it’s recognized and documented that immigrants have a significantly lower murder rate than native-born Americans.

Plus, we need immigrants. They’re vital to our labor force.

It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of fact. And when a candidate for the presidency says we’re letting in people who speak languages that nobody speaks, that’s racism."
