Sadly, the Democrats may buckle under the budget pressure to fund Ukraine and Israel. We've already seen Biden's plans to build more miles in Starr County. Faux border crises ginned up by fascists may well end any semblance of democracy is we know it. Most of it is largely mass ignorance propagated by right wing agitators and their "news" outlets on the public. And, there is an incredible amount of intellectual laziness caused, in part, by collaborative social media that make it too easy to actually "not" know what is transpiring at the Mexico-U.S. border due to misinformation overload - as well as other borders globally.

The Republicans won't even consider in their proposal a path for DACA citizenship, which shows how unserious they are.

What an ugly wall. Less than a minute for a Sawsall...Less than :30 seconds for a torch.

You read my mind! Thank you for including the list of humanitarian groups at the end of the article that need the most support. I was getting ready to email you and ask for this type of list. Thanks again!

It is not open, though that's often a narrative that is pushed for political reasons. If you read more of our pieces on The Border Chronicle you'll get a more nuanced understanding of what is happening. This is a great piece to start with by Todd Miller https://www.theborderchronicle.com/p/the-open-border-farce
