Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsCan someone please explain to me the conservative hysteria of what's going on at the border?
I have been trying to figure this out with no luck. And now it seems like they're escalating the situation. But for what. What are they after? Money? Drugs? Crime? Job? Ratings for Fox News? And what good would come from a visit to the border from Biden and/or Harris? Fox News is going to slam them no matter what they do, so it's probably best if they just ignore the trolls.
But as far as this latest escalation goes, I don't get it. As Michael Scott would say, please explain this to me like I'm 5.

Meanwhile employees cant even find people to fill low paying jobs.
Seems like we have plenty of jobs to go around and not enough employers paying decent wages.

(32,626 posts)they have to create a "crisis" they can beat up Biden with. It's what they do, and it's all they do.

Wish we could have nice things. Republicans fuck up everything they touch.
Damn psychopaths.

I have listened to the so-called "War on Drugs" excuse for decades. Most of the illegals come on visa and then stay.
We need immigrants. We are all immigrants. They are the foundation of America and will always be.

(70,504 posts).... something to try to hit Biden & Harris on and "THE CRISIS AT THE BORDER," is their
chosen vehicle. It doesn't matter to them that the people coming to the border now are
from the Northern Triangle (Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras) and they are fleeing
in many cases unspeakable hells none of which are Joe Biden's fault but to Fox News and
the likes of Ted Cruz facts don't matter.
BTW V.P. Harris is working very hard on the problems in Central America right now but she
hasn't gotten for a photo opp on the Rio Grande and they will use that as some kind of
stick to hit her with.
