Myaybe exactly what Massachusetts did? Treat people decently, transport them to shelter, and allow the immigration courts to process their asylum requests. I wouldn't blame them for doing what NYC did and ask for some federal money to help.
I'm going to guess Texas likely has a plethora of unfilled jobs if they're anything like the northeast.

The bald-headed POS Mayorkas needs to resign or be impeached for gross incompetence and disloyalty to his employees.

Do we need a big, beautiful, Canadian wall?

Doesn't meet the profile of a mega MAGA supporter, yet Sleepy attempted to pin this guy's attack on J6. Pathetic.

He legally entered through Mexico... Oops.

DePape, a Canadian citizen, entered the country on March 8, 2008, at the San Ysidro port of entry, which is along the California-Mexico border, as a temporary visitor. Generally, Canadians who are visiting for business or pleasure don’t require a visa and are allowed to stay in the US for six months.

Proof that a wall will not stop criminals from entering the USA. There are too many ways to get through a wall, many of them legal. It's a waste of resources that should go to other things like doing screening checks on people who enter legally or dealing with the refugee/asylum crisis.

How many things do we build that don't work 100% of the time, yet we keep building them?

Gee, what party is always demanding that we abolish ICE and proudly announce that the cities they control are sanctuary cities?

So then why does the Biden admin continue to build them on the Mexican border? Are walls foolproof? Of course not, but they definitely help.

I'm not sure Biden's administration is a good example of what we should do to deal with the border crisis. That said, I'm not opposed to the strategic disposition of walls and fences in certain areas. But Trump's idea of spending billions of dollars on a big, beautiful wall was stupid and wasteful. Biden might also be throwing away money by continuing it, though I don't think he's building nearly to the extent that Trump wanted to.

The solution to the border crisis has to be addressing root causes and coming up with a plan to deal with refugees in a more organized manner. Neither side of the political aisle is doing a good job with it, just like neither side does a good job with much of anything these days.

Executive Director of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association charged with importing fentanyl
https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/exe ... -fentanyl/
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — The executive director of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association (SJPOA) has been charged with attempting to illegally import a controlled substance, according to the United States Department of Justice. Joanne Marian Segovia, 64, is accused of ordering thousands of opioids to her home and agreeing to distribute them in the United States.

A federal criminal complaint states that Segovia used her personal and office computers to order the drugs between October 2015 and January 2023, including fentanyl. At least 61 shipments were mailed to her home from countries including Hong Kong, Hungary, and India, the DOJ said.

“This is an incredibly disturbing allegation. No one is above the law, regardless of who their employer is. I want to thank U.S. Attorney Ramsey and his colleagues for aggressively pursuing the sources of fentanyl coming into our communities and holding drug-dealers accountable.,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said in a statement to KRON4.

Law enforcement first learned of the connection to Segovia, who has been with the SJPOA since 2003, when investigating a network in India that ships drugs into the United States. A network operative’s phone was searched, and Homeland Security agents found messages that mentioned “J Segovia” at an address in San Jose, including the words “180 pills SOMA 500mg,” the complaint shows.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection records showed that five shipments to Segovia’s address were intercepted between July 2019 and January 2023. The packages contained more than a kilogram of controlled substances such as Zolpidem (a sedative used to treat insomnia) and Tramadol (a narcotic used to treat pain), per the court document.

The packages mailed to Segovia’s home had innocuous labels, such as “Shirts Tops,” “Chocolate and Sweets” and “Gift Makeup,” according to the DOJ. Homeland Security said shipments from several foreign countries with such labels often contain illicit drugs.
