International Would you say that the southern border is now "fixed?"

[nostradumbass]

That must be why Trump's approval ratings are at the lowest point of either of his two presidencies.

What approval rating? His rcp avg is higher than almost the entire first term, and much higher than Biden's whole term after the first 2 months

 

[Prefect]

Some of you are retarded if you think there was a huge problem in the first place. The 10 million people was not the number of people that mid it into the U.S. but encounters of people turned around. Depending how the economy is doing, you are going to have 400k to 1000k come into the U.S. illegally, mostly due to flying in and overstaying their tourism VISA.

Is this the liberal talking point or "excuse" for Biden's open borders?

What open border? I live near the border. I don't see anything different than has been for the last 20 years. The one year that Biden had 1 million in year was just a rebound from during COVID, which had illegals going back home because of a loss of jobs. The economy drives the number up and down depending how in demand labor is. Any of you that buy that caravan nonsense are just too dumb to realize that these caravans magically show up on the news before every presidential election or every four years and then just disappear.

 

[Seano]

I have no problem with securing the border, but the way ICE is operating is pretty disgusting.

We wouldn't be in this place if any president in the past 20 years besides Trump had actually tried to secure the border.

This shit isn't fooling people anymore.2.5 million illegals came over the border in 2022. I'd say that's a pretty porous border, wouldn't you?

If all those things you mentioned were true, he'd be in the positive. Or at least close to it. But no, he's still in the low-mid 40s.

And on the economy and inflation are precisely where he's doing worst:

He's skating by on harassing immigrants, intimidating minorities, and owning the libs.

If any of the things I mentioned weren't true, you would have posted data claiming otherwise, but you couldn't, so you tried to shift goalposts to approval ratings because somehow Trump's approval among dems with TDS who vote "disapprove" no matter what is a credible indication of anything? His approval among republicans is near 90%, and everything I mentioned is true. I'm sorry that enforcing the border and deporting criminal illegals didn't crash the economy, this must be very difficult for you.

Not exactly difficult to "own the libs" when they keep taking the 20 of 80/20 issues.

Hahahaha...

 

[Prefect]

Hahahaha...

Doesn't mean more than normal are actually getting in and these caravans always only show up every four years before an elections. It is such retarded nonsense. Does anyone in their right mind think that a parade of people is just going to walk across the border? A parade would be the easiest thing to handle by border agents as they are all grouped together instead of one off here and there jumping the border.

If you want data, Biden's data shows that GDP and unemployment were at quite acceptable levels, considering the pandemic

Yet Biden was deeply unpopular and people weren't happy because things were still expensive and wages still low.

Same thing with Trump. Things are expensive and wages are far too low. This is why he's almost 20% in the negative in the handling of the economy in RCP polls. "Dems with TDS" aren't that numerous, otherwise Trump wouldn't be president.

 

[Fedor>Cain]

No because as soon as he's out of office, the next President will just ease off again guaranteed.

Plus, there are still tons of people sneaking in through the gaps in the wall. When they say they "closed the border" they're only talking about people that come to valid ports of entry and surrender themselves to the US. Now they're just straight up sneaking in.

I'm actually impressed that we got a few maga folk that sees through this bullshit. Well done, sir.

Except that's just not tge cause. Inflation outpaced wages under Biden, wages have outpaced inflation under Trump.

I suppose if reality is a bad take to you, yes.

Just like your old BTC predictions, right!?

 

[djacobox372]

No, not in the least. The border isn't much more secure than it was before. There are less people coming across seeking asylum but the "bad hombres" haven't been affected much at all.

 

[ChrisBenoit]

Somewhat. Crossings are lower but we need to be sending more back, quicker

 

[Prefect]

Just like your old BTC predictions, right!?

I could not have predicted that a group of morons and nihilistic scammers electing a president hellbent on destroying the dollar and the economy. BTC isn't good. The dollar is just crashing out with rampant inflation due to a president overreaching, being too retarded to understand basic economics, and focused solely trashing industries and markets for bribes and exploitation. Saying BTC works is like thinking you can hydrate yourself with piss while stranded at sea. Everyone knows drinking almost anything else is better for you.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Yep I agree.

Then Biden let them right back in.
