"Open the borders!"

"Want to see the southern border states turn into a poverty zone? An LA on steroids? Just open those borders. We are well on the way already."

Hold on! That is not me saying it! It is Congress! Remember them? That group of statists who are as useless as a screen door on a submarine? Yes, that is the bunch. Meanwhile, on our southern border, where we have the biggest hot mess ever possible, Congress has done zip, nada, zero, to help fix it. The President on the other hand, has tried every trick in the book, including some which are not in the book, to fix this festering problem. His biggest roadblock? Congress.

On June 10th, the President has promised Mexico he would slap a 5% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico to America (and increase 5% a month until it reaches 25%) unless Mexico steps up to the plate and helps out with this invasion of immigrants. It really is one the last arrows in his quiver, as everything else he has tried has been blunted by Congress or the courts. 

This morning in the paper, it was reported that the Republican led Senate feel they have the votes to stop any additional tariffs on Mexico. Huh? Republicans? I thought they were supposed to be on the President's side. In any event, if the Republicans are successful, there goes the "carrot and the stick". Or should I just say, only the "stick".

Bottom line? Might as well just open up the borders. Congress can't (or won't) fix this; the Democrats need votes from the illegals sneaking in; the media hates Trump and will do anything to thwart him; the UN and the Vatican think it is "moral" for us not to have borders; and Mexico wants this immigration mess to be OUR problem. Open the southern borders, give our Border Patrol a few months off to recuperate, and then the above mention groups should be as happy as clams.

BTW - as we have been hearing on the news, it is not just the hundreds of thousands of illegals sneaking in. There is more. Even in the fair city of Minneapolis, the amount of drugs coming into town is helping to cause more and more OD events. Is this what Congress wants for our people? The numbers of OD deaths keep going up every year. In 2017, we lost over 70,000 people from all ages, to drugs - many of those drugs coming in across the southern border. 

Plus, this will be a "green light" for gangs like MS-13 to stream across the border and then travel to New York, New Jersey, California, Chicago, or wherever. Are we ready for that? And what about terrorists? Hello Islamic terrorists? Or people from Africa, coming in from a Ebola zone (yes, the Border Patrol has seen some of those). Then we can't forget the unfettered trafficking of innocent young women and kids. But who, besides our President (and the citizens and patriots), give a rip about all of that? 

This is the most cocked up, effed up, I have ever seen this country's governance. And I am putting that squarely on Congress and the judiciary. Instead of helping fix this major problem, so many are blinded by hatred towards our President, they will ruin everything we have fought for just to spite him. Want to see the southern border states turn into a poverty zone? An LA on steroids? Just open those borders. We are well on the way already.
