Biden is responsible for the entire border mess for the last three years 
since he took office. It wasn't Republicans who signed 94 EOs ordering 
everything from cutting holes in barriers so that illegal could have 
easier entry into the country, to ordering the Border Patrol to refrain 
from stopping illegals entering the country.

Pretending three years later that he has nothing to do with the raging 
chaos that resulted from his EOs, and it's all the fault of Republicans 
whose RINO members crafted a bill that makes the problem worse, is 
idiotic. But it's a brilliant trick if you can find someone stupid 
enough to fall for it.

No kidding. That's why we see right through this 'bipartisan border 
bill'.

> Pretend all you like, we had a solution to the border problem.

Allowing up to 8500 illegals per day to continue to flow unvetted into 
the country isn't a solution to the border problem under any definition 
of 'solution' in the English-speaking world, other than, I suppose, it 
would be legalized under this bill so I guess you could claim they can't 
be illegals if their entry was legalized and that would give a victory 
in the language war.
