13,099 are convicted criminal murderers.
Looks like Trump was again right, these are not the finest.
All during Kamala's duty of Border Czar. What a failure, though her handlers probably gave her a bonus for 'job well done'.
The border is a mess, why did Mike Johnson kill the pending border deal that the Senate was ready to finalize and send to the House? He said it was dead on arrival, no debate, no nothing. It reminds me of when The Gang of 8 created a bi-partisan immigration reform bill in the Senate back in 2013 and John Boehner as Speaker never brought it to the Republican majority house. Two of the Republican Senators in the Gang of 8 were Lindsay Graham and John McCain.
The Biden/Harris administration's terrible performance on the border was a good bargaining position for the Republicans going into the election and if Mike Johnson had allowed a bill to go to the House floor, I think, the Repblicans would have had their best bargaining position to get something done. As always though, Republicans talk about the border yet do nothing, heck Trump didn't do anything about it when he had the majority during his first 2 years.
With complete failure by both parties over the last 10 years and probably longer, our immigration system needs a complete overhaul.
It can be argued that the only meaningful test of any funded / legislated and sustainable border bill would be that said bill would truly secure the border. Define the latter as you choose but this recently failed bill didn't accomplish that. Congress should, once again, be bitch-slapped for inept and irresponsible inaction.
Areas with high immigrant populations have a substantially LOWER crime rate then those populated by us gringos.
Why do you think that is?

A truly "secure" border would have to be fortified and monitored for its entire 2,000+-mile length. Doing that would cost over $40 billion a year, according to a recent CBO estimate. There would be significant negative impacts on cross-border commerce, which, guess what, wait for it...would significantly increase the cost of imported goods and make our exported goods less competitive, leading to...DAT HORRIBUL INFLAYSHUN. You don't like high grocery prices? Wait until your tomatoes have to sit in a truck in line at the border for three days. For that matter, wait until all the people who pick tomatoes on this side of the border are rounded up and shot.
Of COURSE the bill the Republiholes torpedoed wouldn't have solved everything, but it would have been a start. They showed that they don't really care about this issue; they want to use it to bludgeon the Democrats. They won't do anything to fix the situation; after all, race hatred, which is what's really going on here, is the most potent appeal that MAGA have for their base.

Gee, that's a conundrum, since Noble Donny told us that they're all criminals, rapists, and murderers.

She had absolutely no executive authority over border policy. Vice presidents don't have any real power. You might as well stop bleating that asinine "border czar" crap. Her actual job was to talk to people in Central America.

Because it had $60B in funding for Ukraine's border and very little action on our own. It was named a border bill but was really bombs for Ukraine and 1500 agents for our border.
Why did Biden on day one start undoing all of Trump's Executive orders on the border?
Why did he tell the world "Surge the Border"?
Why is the USA funding NGOs to help transport illegals to our border?
That was your sides' naming of her. What a joke. Czar, ffs are we Russian.

And he was right, a large percentage of them are. Take whatever number your side says came across the border and divide by 650,000.
Also, the average IQ from those countries immigrating is averaging below 80, many in the 60s if you look at country statistics. As though we have the money to feed, clothe and house millions of people.
