The claim is that Democrats - Schumer in particular - don't want a secure border. "BS" bills are propagated, but they are toothless, and inherently designed to fail. The result of that - and Schumer's desire - is an unsecure border.
We've asked repeatedly for proof of this, and as "proof" one link to one piece of conservative propaganda has been pawned off.
But maybe we need to define the parameters of the question better.
What, specifically, do you mean by "unsecure border" @Ric Flair ?
How, specifically, has Schumer's voting record been used to obfuscate his actual desire for an "unsecure border," ie, what specific action has he done that made the border unsecure?
Then, so we have an example of the right way of doing things, contrast Schumer's record with someone who has a correct approach to the border issue.
That will go a long way toward showing us where you're coming from, RF.
I appreciate that. I’ve watched Schumer for years and his views on immigration seem to have trended leftward over those years, with the rest of his party. I haven’t been able to find a more detailed breakdown of his specific votes on border security over the years, aside from those I already posted. But it’s apparent to me that he doesn’t take border security seriously.
i don’t really care if there is a physical wall across the border or not. I’ll defer to the experts on what works best. But we need some sort of physical or virtual barrier to prevent entry to anyone who doesn’t have a right to be here. If we mandated employers use E-Verify, and made it illegal to rent homes to those here illegally, denied them government benefits, etc. that would also make coming here less appealing.
