I’m sure if anyone broke the law they will be tracked down and either arrested or subpoenaed to appear. It makes no sense to politicize it because all that will do is motivate those Islamic terrorist sleeper cells who infiltrated our country through our southern border.

Actually, in the past, almost all of the "sleeper" terrorists entered the US the old fashioned way: legally; taking advantage of US immigration laws giving visas willy-nilly to seemingly just about anybody, terrorists have entered easily through the airports of the US as tourists, students, etc, and set up camp before they have acted (a few even sauntered across the Canadian border); no need for them to dodge US ICE officials on the Southern Border or mix with the other immigrants; it is one of the great myths of the Far Right that terrorist are teeming across the Rio Grande: they just don't need to do it and they have the added advantage of seeming to be here on legitimate reasons; it has been one of my long time pet peeves that, while the Far Right yowls and whines about the Southern Border, they do next to nothing to address the gaping hole in the "legitimate" immigration schemes, such as giving long term visas to foreign businesspersons (the purported intent being to foster better 'business relationships'), allowing pregnant women to travel to the US specifically for the purpose of having their children become automatic US citizen (giving the parents and other near relatives the ability to also stay long term in the US without having to go through extensive measures used on other immigrants), and a host of other loopholes and exceptions woven into the current US immigration laws; the real existential danger to the US is not from some guy or gall illegal who wants to just get a job at minimum (or less) wage, its from the educated, intelligent agents of those organizations and nations seeking to cause havoc and destruction against the US and its interests... Added to the terrorism threat, an awful lot of the imported highly dangerous illegal drugs coming into the US are being brought through the regular ports and airports across the US, and very little, relatively, by person trying to cross the Southern borders illegally; again, there is very little need for the illegal drug importers, who deal in rather high volumes of product, to jeopardize their shipment by having it split up into carry-able portion, parse that out to ground "mules" and risk having their product lost during crossing; the fewer persons involved in the actual transportation, the fewer persons to likely turn state's evidence against the wholesalers; if you are a Chinese drug exporter, it is a logistical pain in the butt to direct your shipments to Mexico, break it down, an then have to depend on a bunch of :coyotes" to some how get it across the Southern Border, especially not when you can just lump your product into, say, a shipping container loaded with knock of product or other such goods and pass it along through a very porous dock or airport; and as for the product coming up from or through Mexico, its again easier to have the product just piggyback on trucks carrying legitimate products being pretty much waved through the official boarder points... Bottom line: you can build all the walls you want, as high and long as you want, but if you don's also address the sieve in the immigration enforcement for "legitimate" immigration, the real problems and danger will continue to exist... As an example of the porousness of immigration laws an their enforcement other than at the Southern Border, here is the assessment by the official US National Commission on Terrorist Attacks detailing the pats of the 9/11 hijackers into the US: Entry of the 9/11 Hijackers into the United States Staff Statement No. 1 - https://govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/...tatement_1.pdf One more thing: as an example of how idiotic the existing 'legitimate' immigration policy really is, let's look at the O-1 Visa, commonly known as the "Genius Visa"; the purported intent was to facilitate the migration of highly specialized foreign individuals who may have the capability to contribute to the betterment of the US; here is the actual introductory text from the USCIS website describing the nature of the O-1 Visa: Quote:
The visa can grant up to an initial three (3) years of stay in the country withe a possible open-ended extension after that period; however good the initial intentions of the O-1 Visa program, it has devolved into a sham individuals who either outright do not meet the criteria, or have very little of the requirements, are getting O-1 Visas mainly through political patronage, financial backing, or other means of circumvention, so basically the wealthy and/or the connected can pretty much get some undeserving people into the country; a case in point: a US billionaire got his foreign born fiance into the US (who would otherwise have had to stand in line like the rest of the law-abiding hopefuls seek legal residency in the US) by having her declared eligible under the provisions of the "Genius Visa", in spite of the fact she was totally lacking when it came to even remotely satisfying the criteria for an O-1 Visa; the name of the couple who used the husband's connections and perceived financial power to finagle the visa: Melania Knauss, and her future husband, Donald Trump... Try as one might to finesse the language of the intent of the Law, it seems highly improbable Melania, or anyone else with her background, would really be an eligible candidate for an O-1 Visa... Here is a link to USCIS web page specifically about the o-1 Visa O-1 Visa: Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement - https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the...or-achievement <O>

Just in today IMO I think everyone is starting a CYOA campaign of “see we told you so” so as to deflect blame when some terrorist who crossed an open border commits an act of terrorism. As for the 9-11 hijackers they pursued legal entry in order to get training and jobs here.
Feds warn Hamas terrorists may enter US through southern border, report says https://americanmilitarynews.com/202...r-report-says/ Federal officials are increasingly concerned that members of Hamas could soon be entering the United States through the southern border. Having a wall and a secure border would be really nice right about now. According to an internal memo from the San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection, the Israel-Hamas war may cause terror-linked individuals to cross through the southern border into the United States. The memo, which was obtained by the Daily Caller, specifically told agents to be on the lookout for "Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)" and other groups. "San Diego Field Office Intelligence Unit assesses that individuals inspired by, or reacting to the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border," the memo said. "Foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the US to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico."

Inflation expectations jump the most since Biden's disastrous 2022. This means Americans are starting to "build in" higher prices to their future plans. Which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. People raise prices to account for future inflation, and that leads to yet more inflation. It can become a feedback loop with the Fed losing all control.

Spending billions more to support military action in the Middle East will benefit the military industrial complex. It will harm most Americans by accelerating the growth of our government’s over $33 trillion in debt.
Spending billions supporting Sanctuary Cities isn’t much different. Somebody is making an awful lot of money from it and it ain’t you or the migrants. You just foot the bill. GO TEAM D! GO TEAM R! Not much difference between them or their fanboys.

Now Jenna Ellis has pled guilty making it three lawers and one other turning State’s evidence in the Georgia RICO case. Also it has been confirmed Mark Meadows has been given immunity for testimony in Jack Smith’s J6 case. The circle is getting tighter around Trump.
