Comment there: Odd that people who tell us that regulating guns won't do anything to prevent gun violence are so convinced that the best way to prevent abortions is to outlaw them.

Republicans failed to stop huge spending on public education in 2 of the city’s largest districts yesterday. —billions…

Republicans complain that since the feds started the department of education, performance has dropped.

More money seems to often equal poorer results. I like the 'school choice' idea, but I don't know why some don't.

Yeah, no, that hasn't happened.

Wow! Is that public schools?

And what the hell tanked performance so bad in the last couple years?

'What’s Better Than One Border Wall? Two.'

“Don’t just build the wall. Build both walls.” —Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday, during the third GOP debate in Miami

During Wednesday night’s GOP debate in Miami, five of the Republican candidates for president graced the stage (minus, of course, Donald Trump) and spent two hours sparring over a slew of different topics, including how they would handle the opioid crisis if elected president.

One of the moderators, right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, set up the question in what can only be described as a leading way. “I talk to voters every day,” he said, and “they all say that the border is a top issue. It can mean a lot of different things. It can mean 2 million people who crossed illegally last year. It can mean more than 150 arrests of people on the terror watch list. It can mean the burden on states from having migrants move into their states from the southwestern border. But I want to talk about opioids specifically, and fentanyl.”

He asked: “What can you do as commander in chief on the first day to stop fentanyl and the waterfall of it into this country?”

Linking fentanyl to the migration crisis at the U.S. southern border is now basically a bread-and-butter Republican talking point. But Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said this year that it is “unequivocally false that fentanyl is being brought to the United States by noncitizens encountered in between ports of entry who are making claims of credible fear and seeking asylum.”

Nevertheless, Tim Scott rambled about Mexican labs and dealing with “our ports of entry.” Chris Christie talked about beefing up law enforcement. Ron DeSantis pledged to send more military to the U.S. border and saber-rattled about shooting people who are with drug cartels and are “sneaking fentanyl across the border when I’m president.”

But Vivek Ramaswamy took it one step further. “Don’t just build the wall. Build both walls,” he proclaimed. The U.S., Ramaswamy said, received more fentanyl from Canada last year than it did from Mexico. Therefore, in order to combat the opioid crisis, Ramaswamy argued, we needed to shut out Canada too.

However, that’s not exactly true. The U.S. does get illicit fentanyl from Canada, but it’s pretty minuscule in comparison to the amount that comes in via Mexico. In 2022 Customs and Border Protection seized 14 pounds of fentanyl at the northern border of the U.S., while 14,100 pounds were seized at the southern border. (And of course, the opioid crisis is mixed up in global trade; it doesn’t come from just one place. Eight China-based companies were recently indicted for allegedly sending chemicals used to make fentanyl to the U.S.)

Why is securing borders a 'republican' issue?

Doesn't everyone like borders, and locked doors in their shitter?

I think they should have continued sending immigrant straight to Martha's Vinyard. They seemed to be able to deal with them handily. The poors in lesser communities are the ones who seem kind of bad at it.

You can run it the Democrat way or the Texas-Florida way. The latter is chaos.

By 'chaos', do you mean trying to erect barriers to entry, then trying to remove them, with both sides (AND the court) funded by taxpayers?

Gov. Greg Abbott, a staunch Republican and opponent of President Biden’s immigration policies, accused the Biden administration of cutting through razor wire in an X (formally known as Twitter) post in September.

"Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings. Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire," he posted on X..

The trek:
The remaining option is to hike from Colombia to Panama by trail, which is possible but very strenuous and dangerous. Heavy rain and flash floods are frequent, law enforcement and medical support are non-existent, rapes and robberies are common, and a broken leg can be fatal, as there is no way to reach assistance. However, this route was taken by hundreds of thousands of migrants since the 2010s, primarily Haitians and Venezuelans, to reach the Mexico–United States border.
