LOL! The Democratic Party, by its very actions supports open borders, Thomas. Stop pretending otherwise.

Exactly which actions do you have in mind?

All of them. I pay no attention to what they say, or their mouthpieces say- I pay attention only to the fact that the southern border is open, and no one who isn't on a watchlist is sent back over it, but is instead released inside the border to go where they want.

You want to be a mouthpiece, that is fine by me.

I agree that we have not invested enough in processing infrastructure to properly carry out our laws regarding asylum and that has encouraged many people not eligible for asylum to take advantage of this weakness. I do not, however, blame that lack of investment exclusively on Democrats.

More importantly, it think border enforcement is a distraction from the real immigration problem, restriction on skilled and educated immigrants.

No, it isn't entirely the fault of the Democrats- I blame the Republicans in D.C. almost as much, but the Democrats are never going to change, the Republicans might if enough of them are replaced in the primaries.

However, you again dodge the issue- it isn't the lack of infrastructure- that is simply the excuse given by Democrats (and Republicans, too) so that actual real adjudication of claims of asylum can be made. Even if the infrastructure was in place, the Democrats would simply wave 99.9% of applicants through the process. It is things like this, Thomas, why don't really trust a thing you write on this Substack. Everything on a political angle is some sort of spin by you.

Now you are speculating, not talking facts. I have no interest in disputing your speculation. You started off talking about actions. What are those?
