The executive branch can do a hell of a lot more than you are thinking. The illegal border crossing numbers drastically increased under this regime. Thats not a coincidence.

Handing the left a major W, even though the legislation was pure crap, would have been stupid. We need them out of power ASAP.

Stop with this political crying trash. The uga girl who cheered on uga is dead. The left deems her sacrifice acceptable.

Our laws most definitely allow us to stop people illegally crossing our borders.


But what they define as legal may surprise you. The process for asylum in our laws is basically set up so that anyone claiming asylum, even if it's clearly not warranted, basically gets free entry into the US for years. That's how the laws are now.

A big part of the bill that was passed rebuilt the asylum process to be much faster so that those who don't warrant it would be sent home much faster. It also allowed emergency powers to deny asylum seekers entry in special circumstances, something that doesn't exist now.

Our current laws allow for parole for criminals who also are illegal immigrants. The new bill eliminated that existing loophole.

It also increased the number of border security positions by a huge amount. The current funding makes it impossible to stop illegal crossings due to simple manpower issues.

Biden's administration is setting records for deportations (according to CATO, which is not liberal). With the bill passed, it would go even higher. He's not exactly an open-border Democrat.

I'll be abandoning this thread though as me continuing just makes things even more political and I really don't want this board to get destroyed by politics. I came here because it was a UGA related thread. It's been derailed into politics and needs to be locked.

djsdawg is correct. The POTUS can order the border closed.

Also, in case you missed it the first time.

quote:

8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien

(a)Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts
Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.


This poor girl's blood is on the hands of Democratic Party filth. Does that sum up someone you know?

I doubt you would cry about politics like this if this was about more than a random uga girl who was murdered and was someone you knew instead.

You certainly have bought into the democrat mainstream media spin on the border though.

You claim asylum at a port of entry, not by crossing the border illegally and then living in the country until someone tells you to claim asylum to prevent deportation.

Not to mention, you don't travel through multiple countries before arriving at the place you are seeking asylum at.

You can claim asylum at any point within 1 year of entering the country, regardless of if your entry was legal or not (under current US immigration law, from the 1980's).

You can also be denied entry at any point on the border, and that is where we need to start.

We could have locked the border down tight. However, the Democrats need new voters for their insanity.

You don’t know what you are talking about just like the other Georgia goofball who continues to make excuses. The President has the authority to close the border. The current laws already restrict illegal immigration. Embrace your role in allowing the continued stupidity of flooding the nation with millions of people. As long as it continues, and it will under our current leadership in both parties, unnecessary crimes will continue and innocent people will pay the price, stop making ridiculous excuses that aren’t true “like the President can’t do anything” and “we need to pass immigration reform to stop it”. Incentivizing illegal behavior with free government assistance while millions of Americans struggle everyday to pay their bills is the very definition of stupidity

Well. Does not the population around the campus vote heavily for the political parties that allow this behavior to come into the country and refuse to lock bad folks up ? Yes. And this is what we get. Many of these gen zers who celebrate me paying off their student debt will get a rude awakening if Biden is re elected when they get their draft notice into WWIII. When will families affected by Biden’s disregard for the law get to sue him personally?

The people who enabled this are Trump and the GOP. When is that check arriving from Mexico? We are still waiting. And where is that big “beautiful” wall?
Congress had a chance last week to take steps to pass a bipartisan bill that would have helped but since Trump told them not to pass it because some people might give Biden a little credit for it they obeyed like the spineless wimps they are.
I’m thru with this topic. Some of you people are hopeless. You need help to get out of this Trump cult. More help than I’m willing or qualified to give.


Saturday is a diehard democrap who will go to his grave voting straight party ticket democrap the entire time. He was on here awhile back bragging about campaigning for Biden. He was also bragging about owning a Tesla and a Prius because " that is what democraps drive". In his mind, the democraps are always right and the Republicans are always wrong. It does not matter what the topic is. The fact that he is trying to somehow blame this on Trump is extremely obtuse. Not to mention the fact that he is trying to use this tragedy to take a jab at Trump. What a total douchebag.

Joe Biden halted construction on it after he became president dumbass.

This statement says it all. He knows he is on the wrong side of this. He knows the current administration is to blame, but he does not have the balls to admit he is wrong.

Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and all of the democrap senators could show up at his house and gang bang his boyfriend/wife/daughter/mother and he would be cheering them on.

As someone who actually lives in Athens, I didn’t even know it was a sanctuary city. You really don’t see too many Latinos at all. Almost everyone is black or white.

I know you long for days of it looking like Monterey but that is irrelevant to the local politics as they are. Martha’s Vineyard is also a sanctuary city but it’s about as homogeneous as a place could be. That’s the beauty of liberalism, they never get to experience the consequences of their policies because many live in wealthy areas and are insulated. I can assure you El Paso residents aren’t extolling the virtues of open boarders and neither was New York until they got a taste of what Texas endures. People in Athens will do the same once a few more incidents like this take place

For SaturdayNAthens, this guy was arrested in September 2023 in NYC for "acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation". He was released from detention, only to murder another American a thousand miles away. Tell me, which Republicans in NYC are to blame for the sanctuary city and catch-and-release policies?

How can Biden close the border without the funding and man-power that only congress can approve the funding for? Executive action can only accomplish so much.

I really do feel awful for this girl’s lost future and for the grief her family is experiencing. I don’t think it’s appropriate to turn this thread in such a nasty political discussion, especially here.

One has to care enough to fix it. Make it a priority day 1. Clearly not in the plans for this administration.

We shouldn't be talking about this, guyz!

I heard the same on OT Lounge and the UGA board from the resident libs.

If you want to be in a liberal safe space, run off to Reddit. This place is a shark tank and your feelings aren't safe here.
