    They sure all did. That's a problem with our media, at times blindly copying each other. There was never a border czar. Biden tasked her with a diplomatic effort.

    Remarks by President Biden and Vice President Harris in a Meeting on Immigration | The White House

    In addition to that, there’s about five other major things she’s handling, but I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.

    And, you know, back when I was Vice President, I got a similar assignment, but one of the things we did was we made sure that we got a bipartisan agreement with Democrats and Republicans to provide over $700 million to the countries in the Northern Triangle to determine the best way to keep people from coming is keep them from wanting to leave.

    And the reason why so many people were leaving, we learned, was that not only gang violence and trafficking and cartels, but natural disasters, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes. And so it’s not like someone sits around a hand-hewnen [sic] — hand-hewn table somewhere in Guatemala and says, “I’ve got a great idea: Let’s sell everything we have, give the money to a coyote, have him take our kids or us to the border of America, take us across, leave us in the desert. We don’t speak the language. Won’t that be fun?”

    One of the ways we learned is that if you deal with the problems in country, it benefits everyone. It benefits us, it benefits the people, and it grows the economies there.

    Unfortunately, the last administration eliminated that funding — did not engage in it, did not use it — even though there was over $700 million to help get this done. We’re reinstituting that program. And there are — as I said, there are many factors as to why people leave in the first place.

    There are many women who desperately want to have a child but can't for medical or other reasons. It's highly emotional for these women. Vance is alienating them.

    Yes. It's a case where almost all media ran with an inaccurate label and narrative. Reading the speech shows that it was never a "Border Tzar" situation. But the media both left and right got it wrong.

    That little video edit Xweet doesn't contradict anything posted in the post you quoted nor in Biden's initial appointment addressing the diplomatic side of things.

    Trump and Harris should get on a debate and talk about it. I'm sure she'll have some valid explanations for your concerns. Trump on the other hand won't have any good explanations for anything. Why is Trump scared?

    Atp, is he hurting the republicans’ chances more than Trump himself? Trump can get away with saying crazy and despicable sh*t, JD Vance can’t.

    I watched it. I'm doubtful you did, or you didn't understand the post you were responding to. Or a third option is that you realize it doesn't contradict the post you quoted but are still trying to push the issue.

    Anybody who reads this forum and sees posts by @tinman @AroundTheWorld etc posting random people with pink hair all day long, or that has heard Ron DeSantis speak, will immediately understand the "MAGA Republicans are total weirdos & creeps" line of attack

    It's great that's now the official response

    You probably should just tag ATW. These days i think tinman likely has mental health issues. Better to just put homie on ignore and move on.
