Vulnerable Democrat Jon Tester Calls for Border Security After Doing Nothing for Years
Breitbart ^

Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) has called for the Biden administration to secure the southern border now that he faces a tough reelection battle after doing nothing for years.

In a recent op-ed published in the Billings Gazette, Tester said that Democrats should set aside political beliefs and accept that “allowing anyone to enter the country without being properly vetted or going through a legal process undermines our national security.”

“We know that drug cartels are taking advantage of these gaps in our border security to traffic drugs and people across the border. That needs to stop,” he wrote.

Tester even said that the strain of the open border has caused such great pain for his constituents that he told President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that the situation is “unacceptable

Election year, Jon? Does it make you nervous your state is one of those siding with Texas?

Aside from that, are Biden's handlers going to force the issue? Like nationalizing the guard to facilitate an invasiin? Or pressure the Supreme Court to rule states have 'no standing' to defend themselves? Or people have no right to resist being kicked out of nursing homes or schools (which THEY pay for) in favor of non citizens?

Yeah Mitch, its all about Ukraine, right?

Democrats want open borders and the destruction of America, no matter what they may say, in an election year.

“allowing anyone to enter the country without being properly vetted or going through a legal process undermines our national security.”

________________________________________________________

It’s not simply a “national security” concern. If a nation cannot decide who, how many, when, and from where immigrants come, then how can it possibly insure that it’s core values remain intact? To put it another way, how can it insure it’s culture and language are not diluted and ultimately destroyed?

He is just doing what Congre$$ specializes in ... ducking
problems until the last minute and then throwing together
some lame legislation that solves nothing.

You are ABSOLUTELY wrong!

He and his family are good folks and Steve Daines works FOR Montana rather than against Montana.

Tester is running ads on Newsmax - I think he’s worried.

Now, stay out of my state’s politics if you don’t know diddly about the players — which is quite apparent.

Danes is behind trying to bribe Kari Lake to not run for the Senate.

He is a lackey for Ditch, not far behind Thune.

Didn’t he vote to raise the debt ceiling?

When the Democrats talk about “border security” they mean spending billions more dollars to process people through the border and into the United States faster. The Democrats have no intention of stopping people from coming through with their fake claims of asylum.

I am more disgusted with Republicans who go along with it than I am with the Democrats who I already know are evil.

We really need to take him out this time. There is no way a red state like Montana or Ohio should be sending Schumer rubber stamp Democrats to the US Senate. No blue state would send a Populist Republican to the Senate.

Oh, my. Haven't heard stuff like that since, like, the 80's. Wow. Have these goofballs just figured it out?

This is why the RATS and Turtle are backing the Senate plan.
It gives them all cover and in the end, things stay exactly the same.
