"WE"? Who are "WE"?
Has there been a meeting and group consensus?
Exactly. WE want the borders closed. Appears we are at an impasse.
It’s so good knowing the Republicans are working in concert with the President to stop this Invasion and theft of our national inheritance./Sarcasm
“We” being Globalist.
She she offer a solution about the invaders?
Simply because she’s a Republican doesn’t necessarily mean she’s on the side of American citizens. If she were a Democrat, you could have no doubt she’s not on our side.
Dear Iowa,
You SUCK!!!!!!
There has to better than that in that state.
Ballot box isn’t going to cut it folks. That Tree of Liberty is getting mighty thirsty....
I think she means “open for normal and legal trade” rather than open in the Obama sense of porous to border-jumpers.
Ernst is up for reelection in two years. She believes she needs to position herself in a way that portrays her as not being a lap dog to Trump. I think it is a stupid strategy however two years is a long time.
Sadly, Joni Ernst chose to remain a Mitt Romney acolyte after she had the chance to walk away. A big, big disappointment.
Invite them to live in your own private house at our expense.
There are plenty of illegals already present in the US to do that for.
Another “tea party darling” has spoken.
I am all for the asylum seekers. I,for one, am an asylum seeker. I seek to have all the long-shuttered insane asylums filled with the local, state and federal elected officials who do everything they can to keep the flow of illegals unabated.
Oh, Joni. Aren’t you cute?! Why don’t we take an ice cream truck down there and hand out all the popsicles they want?!
Why not give each invader a free puppy and a hug?!
FEH
Some people are just too stupid to for words
I think an unspoken reason that both sides want open immigration is that they desperately need a new tax base to replace the boomers who are quickly transitioning from payors to payees in social security, Medicare, and other government services.Millennials, GenXYZ, and everyone else can't replace the loss of the boomers in the workforce, and politicians are panicking over the collapse of these systems on their watch after all their promises, and the impact it will have on their future fortunes.

That woman (Senator ernst) has always spoken to the public like we are in the 7th grade and she’s the smartest woman. In the room.
Not sure the headline reflects her full statement. While she said “we would prefer that we keep it open,” she ended with, “but you know what, the safety of our nation comes first.” The media could have used that last sentence as the headline, but didn’t
Let’s send Ernst the bill for every illegal already here.
I think she is correct. Think about it. we want free and open trade. we just don’t want the people walking across. Closing the border to force Mexico to keep the asylum seekers also means keeping the border closed to trade. That is the leverage.
We means this administration. I think she said it right, but you really have to get into the article to come to that conclusion as the opening salvo kind of makes one say huh, at first blush.
We still have an awful lot of work to do to clean out this RINO party.
