This is a sign that a lot of the RINOs will come around when they sit back and think about the damage Biden is doing to our country and to free and fair elections.

Poor infrastructure management in one country does not justify its citizens invading a neighboring country. We need a president who will build the wall and defend our borders from invaders not a president who breaks our own immigration laws in a way that benefits the criminal human smuggling cartels in Mexico.

To see the manipulation of data by the climate alarmist mad scientists one only has to read the actual Climategate emails themselves. No interpretation by anyone else is even necessary. For those who have forgotten, someone got into the email server for the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, the UK's lead "science" unit on global warming / climate change. There were emails back and forth with leading US figures in the climate alarmist science clique like Dr. Michael Mann. The climte alarmists own words are what nail them.

Illegal immigration is a problem all over the western world. Australia's crackdown, Operation Sovereign Borders, is a model of success. Biden's policies are a model of failure. The House has passed months ago a strong border security bill, H.R.2, but the Senate refuses to take it up.

A lot of Democrats are going to lose their seats on this issue in November. Indeed, even AOC has an anti-immigration challenger in her DEMOCRAT PRIMARY.

German youth are waking up on the immigration issue, and as time goes on, more American youth will, as well.

Back in America, it might help if politicians worked more to solve the problem and worried less about "winning". That OK right wing nut couldn't even het his bill past the real crazy in congress. Every time I see that guy on TV, it's like his mother just died.
MAGA - turns on everyone

We are seeing a rebirth of the Hitler Youth on our college campuses, and it is often outside Muslim agitators as well as college students involved. Voting for a bill with these outrageous provisions to bring even more of these Muslim jihadists to our shores is completely unacceptable and indeed borders on insane.

Establishment hack Greg Murphy is completely unacceptable. We need to cast our votes for his Libertarian opponent.

I am sure you were looking in the mirror when you posted that, Bobbie.

Unlike guns, a lot of republicans are going to lose in 24 over this issue. It won’t take much to win the senate and house. What you people are doing to women is unconscionable.

You fully understand climate data and pollution levels are not based on your last Disney trip. Right? Asking for a friend.

The White House and DOJ officials involved are Biden political appointees. They are joined ata the hip with Biden. Biden himself is so spacey, he probably would not even understand what they are talking about. Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis' boyfriend all had meetings at the White House on their prosecutions of Trump. That stinks to high heaven as does Fani Willis' meeting with Kamala Harris.

Wally is extremely ifnoran t of the Presidential Records Act. The Biden political appointee at Archives did NOT have unilateral authority to determine what did and did not fall within that act. All court decisions under that act have ruled that the president had very broad authority on what to retain.

And what about BIden? There is absolutely NO authority for a former vice president or a former senator to keeps the documents he did, lots of them in mulitple places.

Its ok to be compassionate but its not the role of the Govt to be
compassionate. Everyone in Govt swears an oath to protect the Constitution. The Constitution provides for equality of treatment...not equity of treatment. NOT the picking of winners and losers by said Govt.

Remember... if we all have equal rights, then you must also remember that "your rights END where my nose begins." Otherwise you as a Govt, are showing favoritism. When a Govt shows one person a favor, then that Govt (Washington,NC) is stepping on the toes of a different
citizen. (corruption)
Let's leave it to charities and individuals to be the compassionate ones, to help those in needs.

Thank you for confirming the time line.

Second, Jim Crow, like racism knows no party. I understand blame is important to you because it offers some sense of false absolution but regardless of the party the result is the same. in this case ,I think we can all accept some blame. Me and you.

Considering the history, DEI is just the notion that others have a right to the opportunity you and I enjoy. Nothing more, nothing less. The important thing to do is ask yourself, 'What can I do?". How can I act in ways to ensure others, who don't look like me, have a better experience?

it costs you nothing. it makes the community a better place. Win win.

Among North Carolina Republicans, only two stood with the American people on this bill, and they were Senator Ted Budd and Congressman Dan Bishop. Thom Tillis and Greg Murphy were among those who sold us out.

While I agree that we need to help Israel and Ukraine militarily, the failure to get border security added to this bill makes it a non-starter, and giving Biden money to settle migrants makes it absolutely repulisive. Tillis and Murphy are two traiotrs we need to replace.

Walter Jones used to be great on immigration issues, but Greg Murphy not so much. Murphy does not really seem to care about it as an issue and is too quick to be a rubberstamp for some really questionable GOP "leadership".

120 years? You must be on your second bottle of Old Crow, Bobbie! Lets look at some real history instead of your fairy tales.

The War Between the States ended in 1865 and was followed by Reconstruction, during which northern troops occupying the South often disenfranchised southern whites who had fought for the Confederate states and politically promoted southern blacks. Northern troops were withdrawn in 1877, although Reconstruction impacts lingered for some additional years in some southern states. The gap between the end of Reconstruction and the advent of Jim Crow varied by state, so lets look at North Carolina. Black North Carolinians, who mostly voted Republican were active politically throughout the late 19th century, and participated heavily in the "fusion" campaign of 1894, in which a coalition of Republicans and Populists won control of the legislature. In 1896, the "fusion"coalition won the governorship and increased control of the legislature, and with the latter, also a US Senate seat. The successful fusion candidates included a black congressman and a dozen black legislators. It was that victory which led the Democrats to start plotting against the black population in order to regain power. In the 1898 election, the Democrats ran as strident white supremists and won back control of the legislature. The 1898 Wilmington massacre was part of the Democrat white supremacy campaign.

NC's first Jim Crow laws were enacted by the new Democrat majority legislature in 1899, but the most onerous ones came in with the 1901 legislative session.

The beginning of the end of Jim Crow came with court decisions in the 1950s, and the final stake was driven through its heart by Congressional Civil Rights bills in the mid 1960s. Not only did legislative Republicans vote unanimously against the NC Jim Crow bills of 1899 and 1901, but Republicans in Congress heavily supported the civil rights bills of the 1960s.

You are the Democrat, Bobbie, so it is you who should be "proud" of Jim Crow! It is your side that imposed it on North Carolina. So go enjoy your bottle of Old Crow. And learn the true history before making stupid statements that display your ignorance of history
