As long as the Biden administration keeps in place catch and release,
he could send 1500 troops.
He could send 10,000 troops.
He could send 100,000 troops.
>> Yet another example of a double standard where Republican lawmakers who
are demanding the Biden administration.
Get real tough at the southern border are never satisfied,
even as Biden earlier this week.
Announced that he will be sending 1500 active duty troops.
And national guard members to the southern border ahead of the expiration
of Title 42.
Now, of course,
Title 42 was a directive that started under the Trump administration.
And essentially sealed the Southern border, did not allow for
asylum seekers to make their case for asylum.
And the argument was, well, we're dealing with an emergency here.
Coronavirus is a real threat.
We wanna stop the spread of Coronavirus, so we're gonna seal the border.
Well, Biden comes into office and he kinda likes it and let Title 42 remain in place.
Then when he was about to repeal it, all of a sudden Republican lawmakers freaked
out about it and challenged him on the issue.
And the Supreme Court decided to allow Title 42 to remain in place.
But it's about to expire soon.
So Biden is concerned about the border patrol agents.
Being overrun by what is expected to be a huge influx of asylum seekers coming to
the border.
And he decided that the right way to solve this problem is to send the troops.
Well, remember, Trump sent troops to the border and
was applauded for that back in 2018.
Republicans are speaking a little bit of a different tune here.
So with that said,
why don't we go to the next video to kinda see what I'm talking about?
>> Under Joe Biden,
the 1500 troops he's sending will accomplish nothing to secure the border.
And they're not designed to and here's why?
The troops on the border are beneficial.
If you have a policy that when you apprehend someone, you deport them.
Then the troops on the border are helpful for apprehending people coming across.
As long as the Biden administration keeps in place catch and release,
he could send 1500 troops.
He could send 10,000 troops.
He could send 100,000 troops.
It would do nothing to secure the border, why?
Because every illegal immigrant they encounter.
They would hand over to the Biden administration and
the Biden administration would let them go.
>> So I got to give you guys some more context before I go to you, Jenk.
Because understand that what Biden is doing is he is
literally following the law.
Now, if the Republican lawmakers don't like our immigration laws,
they could actually do their jobs.
And engage with Democrats to pass policy, comprehensive immigration reform,
but they failed to do that.
So the idea that Biden should use the troops,
active duty military to round up asylum seekers.
And immediately deport them before they can even make a case is insane.
Okay, we have laws, asylum seekers, who enter the country through ports of
entry must have their day in front of an immigration judge.
Who will make a determination as to whether or
not they should be allowed into the country as asylum seekers.
Okay, we have a shortage of judges,
which is why there's a massive backlog of asylum seekers.
And by the way, Biden keeps playing this game with Republicans.
He's doing their bidding.
So one example is before if asylum seekers came into the country illegally.
They would still get their day in front of an asylum judge, but not anymore.
Biden has decided that if they do that, they're immediately deported.
But if they enter through ports of entry, they have to have their case heard.
Unless you change the laws.
But Republicans don't wanna do anything, right.
They don't want any compromise.
They don't want a pathway to citizenship for folks who are already here.
It's just so stupid.
All of it is stupid.
Biden pandering to Republicans as stupid.
Republicans pretending like they don't know how this process works is stupid.
It's incredibly frustrating.
>> So Anna's right.
The military doing policing inside the United States is both illegal and
unconstitutional.
So there's no way that it could be done.
That's why it's always theater.
It's theater when Biden does it.
It's theater when Trump does it, when although Trump would push the law and
if he could, he would have them do policing here.
But there's other factors that stop him from doing that.
Okay, so why does Biden do it if he knows it's kind of useless?
He can send 1500 non troops there.
And by the way,
they might actually be able to do policing if they aren't United States military.
So why does he do this for theater?
So he could say, look at me, I'm Republican,
light the world's worst political strategy.
So then did it appease Republicans?
It's impossible to appease Republicans.
Ted Cruz just told you, I don't care if you send 100,000 troops to the border.
I don't care if there's a troop that covers every single part of the border and
not one person comes through.
I don't care.
I'm gonna criticize you just the same either way because what do you think
Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham are gonna go?
Good point Joe Biden.
You know what?
Now we agree with you.
Now that you've done what we asked you to do,
we're not gonna move the goalposts at all.
And we now are gonna tell everybody joe Biden should get credit.
Is that what you expected?
No one could expect that.
Even Biden isn't that challenged, okay.
So what they're trying to do is peel off a tiny percentage of
Republican voters in the suburbs.
They think, my God, if we're really tough on immigration,
they'll ignore everything else and vote for us.
That's a strategy that has never worked.
It has never, ever worked.
And yet they still go straight into this.
And what does it do?
It costs you tons of votes in your base cuz you told your base for
four straight years, look at this monster.
Trump sending troops to the border.
We would never do that.
He's such a bad guy.
And now you do it, and they go, screw it.
What did I vote against Trump for?
Because remember, nobody voted for Biden.
Everybody voted against Trump.
>> Exactly.
>> And then when you do the same things Trump did,
what do you think is gonna happen?
>> Exactly.
>> They're going to lose all the energy, and instead of to vote for you.
You're gonna cost yourself millions of votes trying to get seven votes
in the Republican suburbs.
>> No, that's exactly right.
And that is, in my opinion, precisely the reason why you're worried about
a matchup between Trump and Biden in 2024.
Because the Democratic establishment feels super confident in Biden
being able to beat Trump.
But what is Biden gonna fearmonger about when he has implemented?
Or extended many of the policies that we hated from the Trump administration.
Including the theater of sending active duty military to our Southern border.
By the way, speaking of Senator Lindsey Graham, he had a very similar line.
He referred to Biden's efforts as ridiculous theater.
And when a reporter asked, what about the double standard here?
You seem to be happy with Trump sending troops to the border.
Let's see how Lindsey Graham responded to that question.
>> Did you feel the same about it being theater when Trump sent troops to
the border in 2018?
>> I feel that Donald Trump did the best job in my political lifetime.
When Donald Trump did something, it worked.
Everything he did, as Ted suggested, worked.
The Triangle Agreement with the three Northern triangle countries.
Where they would process asylum claims took the problem off the table.
>> So one thing that Trump did that Biden is not gonna do is
he had active duty military.
Literally block legal ports of entry so
asylum seekers had no way of seeking asylum.
That is what he did.
So I'm guessing that's what Lindsey Graham is referring to.
But of course, he's not gonna be upfront and honest and
state exactly what Trump did differently.
Which, by the way,
blocking them means that you are going against what the current federal laws are.
As they pertain to asylum seekers and immigration.
With that said, I wanna have a little bit of fun.
Because literally, I don't know, a week prior to that, on on April 27th.
Trump was doing a rally, and he slapped down Lindsey Graham in front of the crowd,
let's watch.
>> Lindsey Graham, the progressive from South Carolina.
>> [NOISE] >> No, he's a progressive, but
he's got some good things, too, >> Man,
what kind of dirt does Trump have on Lindsey Graham?
That's what I wanna know.
>> Yeah, look, calling Lindsey Graham pathetic is too easy.
>> It is. >> Right, so
Donald Trump slaps him with the back of his hand.
It's an extra insult.
I look at this left winger progressive, and
then it gets the whole crowd to boo him and stuff.
And Lizzie Graham like, the little sniveling.
Look at him nail that he is.
He's like, hey,
this is after Trump already bitch slapped him with the back of his hand.
Okay, Lizzie Grams my favorite part of this whole video was.
When they asked him the question that bust him on his hypocrisy about the hey,
didn't Trump do the same thing?
Look at Ted Cruz's face as he hears a good question.
He's looking down nervous, and he's like, no, that's a good question.
What are we going to do, right.
>> [LAUGH] >> And when Lindsey Graham says, pauses,
pausing, goes, well, Donald Trump's just the greatest president ever.
[LAUGH] Ted Cruz is like, yeah, okay, good answer.
Good enough, that'll distract him.
He did the greatest job.
So that way I didn't answer the question.
I just said something totally irrelevant, okay.
But hey, if you're a lib who watches MSNBC and
you're super excited that we caught the Republicans in a moment of hypocrisy.
Well, the same goes for Biden and all of his supporters.
So why was it terrible when Trump did it and awesome when Biden does it?
When it's the same exact thing?
>> Exactly.
>> So now your turn to put your eyes down and
pretend that it wasn't a good question.
No, when they do the same thing, it's equally bad,
even if their name has a D after it.
And also, the one last giant political mistake from Biden on this same.
issue Is that when you do the same thing as Trump,
you now cannot criticize him ever again on that issue.
>> But he will.
That's the thing.
>> I don't even think, >> He will.
>> I think Joe Reid will on MSNBC, and she won't tell her audience that Biden did
the same thing, >> For sure.
>> Right. >> Yeah.
>> And I just picked Joy's name out of a hat.
But just almost everybody on MSNBC will do that.
But Biden himself wouldn't attack a Republican of his life depending on
it anyway.
So I guess you're not losing much,
cuz he wasn't gonna attack him in the first place.
