these libs will feed. any bullshit they're so desperate

Yep. And one imbecile keeps calling it the greatest bill ever.
(no message)
GOP Senator, James Lankford, is no imbecile…and that Bill does more to resolve
Border Security and Immigration problems than what DJT pled for Congress to do in 2019.
"Does more to resolve..."
Without getting into the silliness of the word games and moving goalposts you're trying to wiggle through, the fact is that this bill doesn't solve the issue. In fact, as I've noted clearly, it directly allows the issue to become much, much worse before any real actions to legitimately secure the border are taken. Read the bill.
Frankly, the fact that you like is evidence enough.
I rely on lead GOP Sen. Lankford's assessment of the Bill...watch his address on the Senate floor...
...during that address he notes that both sides needed to COMPROMISE...i.e. neither side gets EVERYTHING they wanted. But in this case, judging from the documented statement by DJT of what HE WANTED from Congress in 2019...this Bill provided TWICE as many CBP Officers and TWICE as many Fentanyl Scanners, among other improvements...of which NONE are being funded or requested by his administration, as we speak...just saying...
Do yourself a favor and stop twisting yourself in knots trying to defend a Criminal and Rapist with a massive Personality Disorder...it doesn't make you look any better.
"President Donald J. Trump Calls on Congress to Secure our Borders and Protect the American People"
...from the attached proclamation by the Trump White House in 2019...
--------------------
THE CRISIS FACING OUR COUNTRY: We are facing a growing national security and humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border.
This crisis is only worsening as 2,000 inadmissible migrants arrive at our border every day and overwhelm our immigration system.
We do not have the resources needed to hold them, and legal loopholes and activist court rulings prevent authorities from promptly returning them.
Immigration courts are overwhelmed, with a backlog of over 800,000 cases.
We must secure our border to protect our communities and make sure no more Americans fall victim to crimes committed by illegal aliens.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 266,000 aliens with criminal records in the last two years.
This includes aliens charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, nearly 30,000 sex crimes, and 4,000 violent killings.
Deadly drugs are flowing across our borders, taking far too many American lives.
300 Americans die every week from heroin, 90 percent of which comes across our Southern Border.
We are facing a humanitarian crisis as human smugglers exploit our immigration system for profit and drive migrants to make the treacherous journey north to the border.
1 in 3 migrant women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek to the border.
20,000 migrant children were illegally smuggled into the country last month alone.
RESOURCES NEEDED: The Trump Administration has requested additional funds relative to the Homeland Security funding bill that passed the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The Administration has requested $5.7 billion for construction of approximately 234 miles of new steel barrier on the Southern Border, a $4.1 billion increase over the Senate bill.
To protect our communities, the Administration requested $675 million to deter and detect narcotics, weapons, and other materials crossing our borders.
Among the Administration’s requests for more resources are:
$211 million to hire 750 additional Border Patrol agents
$571 million for 2,000 additional ICE personnel
$4.2 billion for 52,000 detention beds, personnel, transportation, and detention alternatives
$563 million for 75 additional immigration judges and support staff
TIME TO ACT: President Trump is calling on Congress to fulfill their duty to the American people and finally take action to secure the border.
The President is calling on Congress to stop the political games and come together and address the crisis we are facing.
Congress has a responsibility to protect the safety and security of the American people and it needs to meet that responsibility by providing the funding needed to secure the border.
--------------------
Note that in 2024...prior to the last election...the Senate DID pass legislation to provide even MORE resources than DJT asked for in 2019...but because it was an election year, he insisted that GOP Congress members kill that Bill...and they did.
Without Congressional action, no sustained funding can be allocated to this, or any other issue...and Donald Trump knows it. Therefore, our Border problem...including Fentanyl interdiction...will persist.

I think they meant Legislative Action was necessary for the Biden regime to secure the border.
And I kinda doubt that would have done the trick.
To avoid lawsuits like the ACLU have filed, yes you do ( RAICES v. Noem)
The American Civil Liberties Union, National Immigrant Justice Center, Texas Civil Rights Project, Center for Gender & Refugee Studies (CGRS), ACLU of the District of Columbia, and ACLU of Texas filed the federal lawsuit on behalf of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), and the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project, which provide legal services to people seeking asylum but would be unable to do so under this proclamation.
Under the “212(f)” proclamation, which falsely cites an “invasion” as justification to deny asylum protections expressly granted by Congress, families and individuals face return to countries where they are at grave risk of persecution with no recourse.
