There is more to this than we realize. All this bullshit, and that's what it is. For your viewing pleasure. They are only guarding eagle pass, last I heard. There is no way to fully close it, but, let's not kid ourselves by the headlines.

The bill in the Senate was not some kind of a masterful ploy by the Democrats -- it was drafted by Republicans and contained basically everything they wanted -- billions of dollars for border security, more border patrol, more judges, more wall, automatic shutdowns when 5000 daily encounters* are passed, automatic deportations. If this bill was law, the border would already be shut down.
* encounters doesn't simply mean "people coming into US", it means all the asylum applicants, all the people detained, etc.
Republicans in the House torpedoed the bill for only one reason -- they want to keep this issue for the election. And it's not like it's a secret or something -- they are openly talking about it, that they don't want to give a win to Biden, etc.
Jake Broe basically laid it all out in his border security / immigration video:

Republicans and Democrats, doesn't matter, we're screwed. I hope I'm wrong.

You're right. Both parties are working together to loot the US and basically do a controlled demolition. Get ready because it's only getting worse from here.

When the dollar is high and we have low unemployment, lots of people come here for work. When the dollar is low and it's hard to find a job, fewer people come. That's true regardless of who is in office and how many miles of border wall we have. If we actually wanted to discourage people from coming, we'd prosecute the people who illegally employ workers. But there is no way a Republican controlled legislature will do that because they represent businesses who make more money from the status quo. At the national level, Charles Koch and other big Republican donors are open borders guys. Trump has employed lots of illegal immigrants.
Did you know that nearly 10% of Texas's workforce is illegal? How often do you hear of the Texas state government trying to prosecute a business owner for hiring illegally? They don't. The state will put up wall, floating barriers, razor wire, and other visible symbols to point to and say they are doing something, or transport people out of state in a bit of political theater. But it's all for show. The state's economy is dependent on illegal labor and the pols are controlled by the business owners. They're good at keeping you distracted while they make money.

It never fails.
Ripped Phreak: "BOTH parties are awful, they are looting and screwing over Americans."
Some Doofus: "B-b-but look at your Republican "heroes," they are screwing you over! Betcha didn't think about that, smart guy!"
Ripped Phreak: "I said...BOTH. PARTIES, ARE. EVIL. How was I not clear?"
Some Doofus: "Yeah keep defending the Republicans you love, they sure got you fooled!"
Ripped Phreak: "......."

I'm not so stupid as to believe that you are neutral. Besides, you said above that Republicans wanted border security. My point is, they don't. The people who control the party via their donations profit from the cheap labor and lack of enforcement. They can pay illegal workers below market wages with no benefits, often off the books so there are no taxes or paperwork, make them work in unsafe conditions, and generally ignore a lot of labor laws because illegal workers don't dare complain, especially in places where the cops are friendly to the business owners.
The two parties are not the same on immigration. The progressive wing of the Democratic party is naive and idealistic. They're getting a wake-up call right now because the sanctuary cities are out of housing. The Republican party is two-faced. In public they pander to working class voter fears, but in private they are paying illegal workers under the table and don't want to stop. We will not see a well managed immigration system in this country until both sides agree it should be well managed, and right now the Republican party is the one preventing that.

Don't worry, sparky, your false equivalents are crystal clear. So is the difference between the sporadic self-dealing of some members from both parties, and the wholesale, deliberate, country-killing, election stealing, body autonomy stealing grifts of the Magatrumpians (of which you are clearly a card carrying member). Your POE is weak.

Yeah I know the Attorney General is Republican, and fox news isn't exactly "reliable" and if I recall correctly is also Republican?
But it was the only mainstream media outlet I could find on the subject, the others were smaller and even more unreliable.
