Comments by "Scott Farner" (@scottfarner5100) on "Trump Touts Record On Border While Slamming Biden For Historic Migrant Surge" video.

We had a 11 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020. It has remained a 20 year high and increasing ever since under Trumps failed policies and Title 42.

Biden is following immigration law, Trump lies and his supporters are cluless. We had a 11 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020.

@gracefulcat68 Title 42 suspended title 8 laws and authority use to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right was using it to undermine legal asylum under 8 US code 1158. It also suspended 8 US code 1325; the misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty for crossing the border illegally. And 8 US code 1326; stiffer penalties for crossing the border after deportation That left out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stopped legal asylum, with few exceptions under title 42. Makes it difficult to enforce immigration laws when Republicans are fighting in court to undermine our legal enforcement. With title 42 suspending enforcement many immigrants re-crossed multiple times causing apprehension numbers to be inflated. The current rate of multiple returns was about 40% of border crossers.

And he didn't get 28000 soldiers.

@gracefulcat68 Now with title 42 gone those who are deported or rejected for aylum can now face legal penalties for crossing the border again instread of expidited removal and free to recross again and again, for the past 3 years under title 42. The Right need to stop undermining our laws and provide funding for immigrants to be processed under those current existing laws. Just becasue someone crosses the border and is counted doesn't mean were able to stay. Prior to the end of title 42 the majority of those who were allowed to stay were unaccompanied minors and families with small children. If you don't want to pay for them then stop supporting Right wing poliecies that caused this crisis.

@gracefulcat68 Trumps false claim that Mexico gave him 28000 troops at no cost to stop immigration.

Due to false claims of voter fraud, asylee’s not showing up for court, criminal activity, and just right wing claims used to breed hate. The Right has unilaterally decided to undermine legal asylum. And have dubbed it as an open border policy and fed that buzz word to a right wing base who have no understanding of immigration laws. Trumps zero tolerance policy to separate children, Remain in Mexico, Title 42. All attempts to stop legal asylum under US laws that have been in place for over 40 years. Yet now using it to trigger a base that is now openly full of hate on immigrants and this hate is now fed by GOP governors feeding off of that for votes from GOP supporters who immoral views support separating children as a deterrent, use of lethal force, lying to immigrants to ship them to dem cities to stick it to libs, incarceration, placing them in the hands of traffickers. All because of immigrants who may or may not have violated a misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty. And the Right wing base just does not understand our law. Trumps immoral policies were violating US law by snatching children from legal asylum seeks as a deterrent. Harris was never appointed as border czar. There are no 85000 missing children and no they cannot use their drivers license to vote. The Right does nothing but lie.

@gracefulcat68 Also by pasasing the Senate bill on immigratiuon that the right refuses to even look at becasue they do not want to compromise and try and negotiate for a better deal, it would have the legal power to force the DHS to close the border down today it passed.

If Trumps immigration policies were doing so well, then why were border crossing at record levels for 5 months prior to Biden took office.

Remain in Mexico was in violation of immigration law and international treaty. It did not ro secure the border, it increased border crossing.

Border crossing increased under Trump. He did not end catch and release, it's part of our law. He's just lying again.
