perceptive modification, Reily...

You’re 100%, but that’s the rub. More concerned about getting in front of a camera than doing what’s right for the American people. That film clip that’s being shown now, in infrared, of them streaming thru a fence should end this argument. But guys like Thune don’t care. It will never affect him.

What it does effect is the farmers and ranchers that give him big money. He says that tariff’s, etc don’t reflect the feelings of the people of South Dakota. I’d love to some ‘man on the street interviews’ with some folks from his state. Maybe show up at the local diner early one morning and talk to some of the folks to see how they feel about our country being invaded. Of course, those folks aren’t the big money donors Thune cares about and takes care of.

As head of DHS, Ridge solved the problem how?

Nobody is allowed to be installed in any position of authority unless they agree to sit on their hands and mumble BS platitudes about “our values” and “that’s not who we are” and generally completely fail their duties yet make normal, peaceable American lives as difficult as possible.

Impossible to say it better.

I’m not quite sure I care what Mr. Ridge thinks.

Oh, wait.....I’m actually quite sure I don’t give a rats a$$ what he thinks.

If we do nothing, it will work out and everyone [of importance] will be happy.

IIRC, Ridge was about as feckless a DHS secretary as any who have served in that post. None of them have been very effective anyway.

#4 needs to be first. My sister-in-law works I obstetrics and says that a significant number (perhaps a majority) of the babies being born in her hospital are to mothers that speak no English.

That incentive needs to be removed ASAP.

Wrong question.

Better questions is: Will the Mexican tariffs HELP to reduce the number of illegal immigrants streaming across the southern boarder?

Companion questions:
- Will building a wall on the southern border help to reduce the number of illegal immigrants?

- Will enforcing e-verify employment questions help to reduce the number of illegal immigrants

- will denying social benefits and unemployment to illegal immigrants help reduce the number of illegal immigrants

This guy was a jerk when he was at DHS with his dopey color coding. Today, he’s lost inside a silo rambling on about a topic he has no idea what it is.

Tom Ridge is saying to accept democrat BS about border ‘tech solutions’ - - silliness that does nothing to stop illegals but lines the pockets of liberal tech companies with wads of taxpayer money.

Why?

'Tech solutions' benefits include cash kicked back from liberal tech companies (million dollar 'SPEECHES' for all liberals) - AND tech company's willingness to put their boots on the necks of conservative citizens.

Tom Ridge is also saying that whatever dirt deep state thugs have on him they'll keep to themselves ... for now.

The only thing that will prevent this invasion is to secure the effin border. Put the military down there with ROEs to shoot on sight ANY invader. This shit has to stop and PDJT is responsible.
