Concerning President Biden going to the US Southern Border, per the following article…

headlineusa.com/biden-says-hes-too-busy-border/

…he himself said: “I guess I should go down, but the whole point of it is I haven’t had a whole hell of a lot of time to get down [there]…”

The above article link quotes and points out that…

- “Biden has never been to the border in 50 years as a politician.”
- “By contrast, Biden has visited his home in Wilmington, Delaware 25 times [as President].”

Note: this question is SHOULD Biden go see the US Southern Border instead of seeing a semiconductor plant (and NOT WILL Biden go see the US Southern Border).

[Wise4myage]

Ha, nope. He ignored a question about the border yesterday. After all, he can't piss off his handlers.

[Asker]

“Nope” - he SHOULDN’T go see the US Southern Border?

Or “nope” - he “WON’T” go?

Note: this question is SHOULD Biden go see the US Southern Border instead of seeing a semiconductor plant (and NOT WILL Biden go see the US Southern Border).

[CloudMassacre]

Why not stop by at both?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

He's afraid to.

[Asker]

What is he afraid of?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

1. He's afraid of the assassins waiting to ambush his motorcade.
2. He's afraid he'll see that the border wall & security really needs to be beefed up.
3. He's afraid to answer questions pertaining to why the funding for the border wall & security went to naturalizing illegal immigrants just to win more votes for his party.

[Asker]

1’s not funny.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I wasn't trying to be funny.

[Asker]

What makes you think that?

[Still-alive]

how about the fact that a right wing nutjob tried to assassinate Nancy Pelosi's husband and the right just laughed that off like it was no big deal for one?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Word of the POTUS' travel itinerary will spread immediately. There's a maze of tunnels underneath that are littered with cartel soldiers. They're logistics and communications are second to none.

@Gagname
Thanks for the MHO. :)

[Asker]

You’re welcome

[exitseven]

He doesn't need to go to the border. He already knows what a mess he has made of it. He just imported 11 million democrat voters all at taxpayers expense.

[Soteris]

Ahahaha! I mean, even if there WAS a problem with the southern border, the semiconductor industry is still far and beyond more important to the country by literal orders of magnitude. The difference between the crumbling Russia and China today and USA is basically a thriving semiconductor industry. It is singularly important to the point where they very much deserve presidential attention.

[Asker]

Oh there are HUGE problems at the US Southern Border…

Monthly border encounters have increased from under 100,000 in the whole fiscal year of 2020 and through Jan 2021, and have increased to 277,000+ in Oct 2022.

www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters

Also:

“the total number of migrant encounters at the southern border [were] a record 2,150,639 for [Oct 2020 through Aug 2022, with one month to go in the fiscal year 2022].

As recently as fiscal year 2020 [Oct 2019 through Sep 2020], there were fewer than 500,000 migrant encounters at the southern border.”

www.newsnationnow.com/.../?ipid=promo-link-block1

“As little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl is considered a potentially lethal dose, according to the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA estimates one kilogram [2.2 pounds] of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people…

As recently as 2019, authorities seized just 2,600 pounds of fentanyl along the southern border, about one-fifth of what’s been seized [in 2022]…

There were more than 107,000 fatal drug overdoses in the U. S. in 2021, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an increase of nearly 15% from the previous year…”

* a record 2,150,639 for [Oct 2021 through Aug 2022

[Asker]

One more thing:

“More than 73,000 illegal immigrants evaded Border Patrol agents in November [2022], according to new data seen by Fox News, marking the highest number ever recorded at the southern border.

The number of "gotaways" refers to the number of illegal immigrants who have evaded overwhelmed Border Patrol agents and have been detected by other forms of surveillance but not caught…

The number of gotaways for November means that there are already over 137,000 gotaways so far this fiscal year, which began in October. In FY2022 there were nearly 600,000 gotaways. There were 389,155 gotaways at the border in FY2021...”

What a huge pile of bullshit. Putting aside just how incorrect your facts are, if you actually cared then the solution would not go and pointlessly stare at the southern borders or even to build a pointless and ruinously expensive wall that would not change a single thing but to actually reform your immigration laws and lift the ban on most drugs so they can be regulated as well as to strangle the financial backbone of organized crime.

[Asker]

So I guess you don’t care about your country’s national sovereignty, and would be ok with allowing hundreds of thousands of people to invade your border & bring thousands of pounds of life-ending drugs into your country…WOW PRETTY CRAZY!

[Soteris]

"national sovereignty" my ass. You dont even know what that is. Also yes, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to "invade your border" is unequivocally good for your country. It is like free money and its not an exaggeration to say that the current US economy would not even function without them.

[Soteris]

Imagine if you will if you took all those hundreds of thousands of people and just removed them. What would be the consequences of that? Well first of all, that would be hundreds of thousands of fewer customers buying local products and services which by itself would be a pretty big hit to the economy. Then we have the fact that these people had jobs and you suddenly removed hundreds of thousands of workers which will open up quite a big hole in the job market.

Like who do you think is working your fields right now? What do you think happens to your food if there are no cheap labor to work the fields every year? You might hate that fact but it does not change how your native population can't or won't fill the work quota for your farming sector, just as an example.

Then we have perhaps the most fatal problem. Your declining birth rate. USA is like 1.64 births per woman right now. That is not enough to sustain your current population meaning you will experience a population collapse. This is a HORRIBLE piece of news if you are an American since your economy is built on the idea that every new generation is as big if not bigger than the one before them.

When this is no longer the case you get what is called an aging population which means for your country to even function at the same level as it is todey, every new generation would have to work harder and be more productive to just maintain, much less grow. This however is easily solved with immigration who can replace the population you are lacking and literally save your country from itself.

And that is not to mention the fucking DRUGS. Americas drug problem, including the usage and mortality, can be directly traced back to your "war against drugs". It is your stupid anti drug policies that caused this in the first place just like how banning alcohol caused similar problems.

[Asker]

Lots of words there…but not much sense.

Regarding drugs in the USA and the “more than 107,000 fatal drug overdoses in the U. S. in 2021…”

www.newsnationnow.com/.../

“Synthetic opioids — primarily fentanyl — accounted for more than three-quarters of those deaths.”

And again:
In fiscal year 2022 [actually not the whole FY: from Oct 2021 through Aug 2022] border authorities “seized more than 12,300 pounds of fentanyl at the [US] southern border,” and “one kilogram [2.2 pounds] of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people.”

Other info (from the same source above):

“…Mexican cartels are increasingly manufacturing fentanyl that is being imported from China and then pressed into pills or powder, or mixed into other drugs at industrial-scale labs [and brought across the US Southern Border].”

Thanks for your comments. Bye 👋

[Soteris]

You are just plain wrong.

Around 75% of drug overdoses in USA is because of opioids which is a problem fueled by the healthcare industry overprescribing opioids. If you watched American TV I am sure you have seen plenty of advertisements for opioids yourself as an example. This has lead to an explosive increase in addiction which then leads to abuse and overdose.

The reason drug dealers are choosing to smuggle in fentanyl is specifically because there is already an addiction problem for opioids for them to exploit coming from the private healthcare industry. Stopping the smuggling in of fentanyl would not change the fact that the population is already addicted and will procure opioids domestically. Granted, its impossible to stop the smuggling in the first place but I am just pointing out that its a symptom of the problem and not the actual problem.

The southern border is not your problem. Never was. You are being lied to.
