    Don’t be so ignorant. Many Hispanics are white.

    Not a fan of Dr. Phil but this is disturbing.

    "I talked to the head of all the border guards down there, the head of the union. I ask him straight-up, kids are coming over the border with numbers written on them, phone numbers and addresses. Do we check those out? He said, well, we call them. "Is it possible that we’re sending them into known prostitution rings or sweatshops? He said, ‘It’s not possible, it is absolute.’ We are using American tax dollars to ship children into known prostitution and sweatshops," he said.

    Bottom line is that every rape, assault or murder by an illegal is preventable by simply enforcing borders.Not that hard to understand.

    It would be interesting to find out how many asylum-seeking illegal immigrants arriving since Jan21 have been charged with a front crime.

    Really? More than half of illegals arrive on a tourist visa.

    True. But when was the last time in US history did we have 100% secure borders?

    I think we all agree that we can do much better. And also immediately deport any illegal committing a crime.

    We can always do better. But having a completely secure border isn't possible. Israel has 1/4 the size of border as the US, and many more reasons for it to be secure. And yet, even that's not secure.

    As for criminal immigrants, I'd rather they serve their sentence first here before deportation. And there is no set sanctuary city policy. Cities can and do set their own sanctuary policies. And I see no reason why even sanctuary cities shouldn't contact ICE when a undocumented felon finishes his/her sentence.

    Do you really think we can do better?

    We could not do worse than we are doing now. There are policies in place to hinder this migration and this administration refuses to use them. The lengths this administration is going to to bring illegals into the country is historic. They are financing the NGO's to deliver the illegals, they are flying them in, they are bussing them in, they are giving them financial assistance, they are giving them room and board. The worst part is they are making it easy for the cartels to exploit the people coming through Mexico. Our administration is spending billions to bring in votes.

    Finish the wall and border infrastructure. Hire thousands of border security agents. Deport all illegals.
    Take out the cartels with our military.

    The wall is useless. Israel has a wall and more reasons to keep people out. Using our military to take out the cartels is a military invasion. Do we really want another war? The latest border bill, which the Rs killed, had $20 billion, much of it for more Border Patrol.

    And we need to address our labor shortage issues first. 3 million more jobs than unemployed. Deporting 8 million undocumented would make this number significantly worse.

    Wonder if this was intentional or just an "oversight"?

    Joe Biden Ignores Laken Riley's Death During Crime Speech (msn.com)

    "President Joe Biden is being criticized on social media for not mentioning Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student who was killed by an illegal immigrant, during his speech on Wednesday about crime prevention."

    "During Biden's White House speech on Wednesday, he said that American cities are "making historic progress," adding: "Last year, the United States had one of the lowest rates of all violent crimes in more than 50 years. Murder, rape, aggravated assault, robbery all dropped sharply along with burglary, property crime and theft."

    When asked by a reporter if Biden has spoken to Riley's family on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said: "First of all, I do want to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Laken Hope Riley....I don't have anything regarding to the president speaking to the family."

    Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Trump, the GOP front-runner in the 2024 presidential nomination and Biden's likely opponent in November, wrote on his social media platform Truth Social: "Laken Riley was a spectacular young woman whose life was taken from us, and her great family, by a savage monster who should not have been in our Country.

    Final arguments on Willis-Wade conduct and possible disqualification from the Trump prosecution is over. Steve Sadow for the defense was really good. Ruling to be issued in "weeks", per McAfee's final statement.

    It will be interesting if McAfee goes as far as determining that Wade, Willis, and perhaps Bradley knowingly made false statements while under oath.
