As someone who has to travel back to the US soon, is this border shutdown a real issue?

if you travel in the six hours between him shutting down the border and the courts issuing an injunction, it'll suck

Is he talking about shutting down all borders, just the land border with Mexico, all entry from Mexico, or all entry from Mexicans?

His stupid impractical idea isn't even coherent.

If it's only the land border, a bunch of airlines just got the yugest boners.

Also heard this elected chud/nazi in charge quoted on NPR deflecting his responsibility for law enforcement to ICE, but c'est la vie.

Edited to add flavor:

“We’re not here to enforce federal immigration law — that’s not our job,” Christianson said. “But law enforcement should be able to turn people over to ICE who are gang members who victimize and exploit others.”

It's telling that Trump has basically spent the past few months screaming "We're gonna close the border guys! We're gonna do it! You Democrats better make a deal with me or I'm definitely gonna close the border! It's happening real soon!" And yet he still hasn't done anything about it.

Can you imagine the ramming the US would take with regards to NAFTA or whatever the gently caress it got replaced with if they actually closed the border?

I lived in Austin so I got to know him because he was popular as hell locally. He smoked cigars, drank whiskey and up until really recently could still drive. He built the house he lived in with his bare hands after returning from WW2, and had the same truck he bought with cash in the early 1970s. He was a loving rockstar.

That one Dem senator is probably just mimicking Fox News' "liberal target du jour," the same way her ilk go after Nancy Pelosi. It's a way of burnishing their "moderate" credentials without actually having to do anything of substance at all

If her criticisms of AOC were sincere then she's just an idiot.

Or very likely a combination of both.

So off topic but why the hell are all the flags still at half mast?

I swear they went down for the GHW Bush funeral and never went back up.

Of course by this point I’ve pretty much gotten used to them being at half mast way more of the time than full.

All these gun nuts lionizing the second amendment do poo poo all when we have a Russian Stooge as President undermining the country and government. If they were to act though, it would cause fear amongst the Government and they would declare guns a legit problem. And not to mention they support a foreign power going through their system, the NRA, to influence American Politicians and corrupt. All the while kids are begging not to be shot in schools.

They're worthless in every way, shun them.
