KIRSTEN POWERS: I don't support even the concept of a trigger. We're so apart on that. The trigger is set up to keep people from coming into this country essentially because there will never be a point where the border will be certified as being safe as Republicans want to be because there are so many Republicans who don't want these people coming into the country. So, I just think it sets up an impossible barrier to entry for immigrants. ME: Well obviously it does if said immigrant is trying to sneak over here. I.E. Illegally.

Powers is confusing (on purpose) immigrants with illegal immigrants.

She needs a good spanking.

Here she is talking about Sen. Sessions. She seems Sessionsphobic.

OK, my talking bulldog, but he thinks Sessions rocks.
Good job, Alabama! Sorry Arizona .....

Arguing about a border fence is pointless.. it’s never, ever going to happen. If this current legislation becomes law, at the first available opportunity, the dems will hold up funding for all these wonderful new promised security enhancements in exchange for “revenue enhancements.”

It didn’t happen in 1986, nor in 2002, or in 2006.. and it won’t happen now.

For Kirsten, the border and immigration laws are a nuisance. She is a bona fide Democrat-Socialist. To be honest, the border would be less of an issue if we shut off the welfare-state magnet and other rewards that attract the hoards of Mexican invaders.

Isn't that the point of a fence. There should be happy that it's not me in charge of securing our border. Along with a 25' fence, I would also include things that goes boom too!

Kristen back to being a LIB. It must be election time soon.

As for not wanting to live in a country with a fence around it, don’t let the gate hit your overly ample rear on the way out.

The Texas-to-Mexico portion of the border could be fixed by stocking the Rio Grande with piranhas.

Because if the dog is named for Dick Durbin you don’t have to feel bad when you kick him.

Amazing how one call from Chicago can recoil wayward libs back to the plantation. Juan Williams seemed to be straying toward the political right for a little while, only be redirected back "home."

What most never say is that, NO, we can never allow all what want to come to the US to come. And some (Hannity) who constantly say "just go home and come back the right way" imply, again, that anyone who wants to come should be able to come if the just do it "the right way".

There's probably a billion or two unskilled illiterates in the Third World who would love to come to the US and go on welfare -- which would have the net effect of collapsing the welfare system.

This is the democrats’ plan

1. Pass Amnesty so create 60 new million democrat voters and so a democrat dictatorship
( democrat voters = the amnestied and their extended family back in the 3rd world that will be allowed to come to the USA.)

2. Once the democrat dictatorship is in place democrats and democrat Obama can pass anything at will with no debate , no waiting.

3. there are 7 BILLION people on the planet Earth.the democrat will the completely throw open the border of the USA inviting a flood of 3rd world peoples, hundreds of millions of Muslims, Africans, Latin Americans, Asians you name it , 2 billion immigrants to the USA , why not the democrats love to bring in poor people and non whites in.

“I also don’t really want to live in a country that has a fence around it, personally.”

It seems that people who emote, rather than think, can’t distinguish between fencing invaders out, and fencing citizens in. Powers didn’t specifically reference the Berlin Wall; but, many of her ilk have tried to make that exact comparison.

The ability to control who enters your country is the essence of sovereignty. Every country does this, in one way or another. OTOH, keeping citizens from leaving (as the Berlin Wall did), is a violation of international human rights laws.

Kirsten, Kirsten!!

All the spying on phone calls and emails and text don't mean crap if the terrorist can waltz across our southern border with the drug dealers, murderers and rapist!

Conservatives support all LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, hands down!

We DO NOT Support unknown persons illegally coming into the United States that want to cause mayhem.

Come on! ...you're smarter than that.

They say that border security is unachievable...

but we’ve yet to see at least a modicum of effort...

36 miles of a legally REQUIRED 700 mile border fence is NOT an effort.
