Yes, she did. She said it clearly in a loud voice. Sign the existing bipartisan immigration bill.
That provides the power of the purse to get the technology that screens vehicles crossing the border, because that's how fentanyl is entering, not in migrants' backpacks. Cannot upgrade that screening equipment with executive orders. The power of the purse to hire additional border patrol and hearing officers and likely administrative staff to clear up the YEARS of paperwork that the pumpkin head left behind. That includes paperwork that would have gotten our Afghan allies out in a timely fashion, so that thousands were not waiting literally for years, and now they are stuck in desperation waving paperwork over their heads in the hope that a member of the military will spot them in the crowd.
Many people who apply "the right way" from many countries wait several years, sometimes more than ten years, to get their paperwork processed. A nurse from the Philippines reported waiting more than ten years, and that's a shortage area for us. That's dysfunctional.
Executive orders will never fix immigration. Using old immigration legislation from the 1980s will never fix immigration. Congress must do its job, the pumpkin head must step back, and the president can sign updated immigration legislation. That's the way a bill becomes a law. 🗽

@billbillerton6122 I need some grammar. "They" did what and have what for a long time? Please be clear if you want a response. Having said that, I'm fairly certain you want to repeat some team talking points rather than discuss meaningful immigration legislation. We are all immigrants unless you are a full blooded member of an indigenous nation. Period. Walls will not help us to get along. The Monroe Doctrine indicates that we take an interest in the Western hemisphere. So let's do that, rather than destabilizing governments and supporting creepy dictators, then thinking that we will never pay the price for that empty headed "foreign policy". All the stakeholders in an auditorium, lots of coffee and bagels, lock the doors, no one gets out without a draft of serious legislation. Canada, Latin America, Caribbean, South America, unions, business interests, ATF, state department, Homeland Security, NGOs. Lots of coffee, lots of ideas. Let's get to work. Contact your representatives ASAP. 🗽

Absolutely true. A handgun for protection in the home, I understand. I don't want it, but if you feel you need that, okay.
Get training, a permit, a mandated gun safe, a mental health screening just in case, be older than 21 or 25 for that good brain development and judgement that just is not there at age 18, a waiting period because if someone needs a gun in a hurry that's a huge red flag right there. A gun is a dangerous thing, so the decision to get one should have some steps and take some time.
A true hunting rifle, absolutely. I totally understand that rural areas and urban areas have different needs. The AR 15 is not a hunting rifle. It is too destructive and leaves no useable meat. Recent reporting in the Atlantic describes the AR 15 as the man's Barbie doll. There was an effective hunting rifle that was used prior to 1990 approximately. Let's use that. Because AR 15 was a very unpopular gun when it was first "modified" for sale to civilians. Sales spiked when the irresponsible gun industry targeted underage males for their advertising, calling the AR 15 "your man card".
So let's go back to something that was a more responsible hunting rifle. The AR 15 should never have been available to civilians. Even the original inventor of the gun says so. No new sales of AR 15, mandated gun safes to keep the old AR 15 safely locked away from thieves, children, and the public.
