Immigrant Crime Rates Are Low; Republicans Hype ‘Secure America Act’ to Stoke Border Fear
Scapegoating & moral-panic mobilization
Posts praise new money for ICE and Border Patrol while claiming the law “made the border safe” and ended a Democrat-caused shutdown. By depicting immigrants as threats necessitating ever-harsher enforcement, the messaging scapegoats a vulnerable group to rally support and silence criticism of civil-rights impacts. Fear-based framing replaces sober policy debate.

Senate passes $70B ICE, Border Patrol funding after fight over Trump settlement fund. In a 5 a.m. vote, Senate approves three-year ICE and Border Patrol budget, rejecting multiple bids to kill Trump's settlement fund. The Senate passed legislation to fund President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agencies early Friday morning
If your argument is strong, you shouldn’t need a straw man. Voting against a funding bill does not automatically mean someone “stands with illegal immigrants over law enforcement.” It may mean they disagreed with the spending, the policy, the oversight, or the way the bill was written. Serious issues deserve more than partisan slogans. Americans deserve honest debate, transparent government, and leaders willing to …

This post is about an immigration enforcement funding bill that was finally passed in the Senate. "After hours of debate and a 52–47 vote, the measure advances to the House, with Republicans saying it strengthens border security and Democrats sharply criticizing the funding priorities." Yes. Of course Democrats have no interest at all in prioritizing national security, national citizenship, or national sovereignty. We should believe them completely when they tell us they are not interested in a safe and secure nation in their speeches and by their actions. And we should remember it was the "Biden" Administration, a bunch of traitorous Democrats, who opened us up to invasion and facilitated the largest human and drug trafficking operation in the world into our country.

The border crossings have decreased because no one wants to come to this once-great country anymore.
ICE already received $75 billion in the BBB, which made them the highest funded law enforcement branch we have, higher than all others combined. But now you figured they needed another $80 billion? Democrats have never fought for anything except accountability, but you refused that. This doesn’t help our country, but there are many other budget items that could. Why aren’t those your priority?

You can't make this up: House Republicans just snuck a provision to help private jet owners avoid state and local taxes into a major AIR SAFETY bill! Instead of working to prevent another mid-air collision, the GOP is more concerned with making their wealthy donors even richer. https://www.commondreams.org/news/private-jets Also already a bloated budget without reforms: Because Congressional Republicans chose to leave out the typical restrictions on ICE and CBP funding, this money can be used to shackle pregnant women and to destroy evidence of death or sexual assault in ICE/CBP facilities. Why do you think Republicans chose to leave out the typical restrictions?

MAGA and Trump care more about ICE and Border patrol than the American people who are strugglingto make ends meet. There are not that many worst of the worst crossing the border. Most immigrants are not bad people. Most flee from horrible conditions. Some of these immigrants who cross illegally are better human beings than most MAGA Republicans.
That’s because many Americans don’t agree with how ICE and border patrol are operating. Good on them for trying to bring about change.

Democrats are for safety. Please do not make a blanket statement that is simply not true. Democrats are for following the constitution, treating people humanely and providing Due Process for all. They are for keeping our boarder safe. We differ on how to get it done. Democrats also believe in holding sexual predators accountable. What’s the Republican stance on that crime?

If your argument is strong, you shouldn’t need a straw man. Voting against a funding bill does not automatically mean someone “stands with illegal immigrants over law enforcement.” It may mean they disagreed with the spending, the policy, the oversight, or the way the bill was written. Serious issues deserve more than partisan slogans. Americans deserve honest debate, transparent government, and leaders willing to explain their votes instead of demonizing their opponents. We don’t strengthen America by questioning each other’s loyalty. We strengthen America by debating ideas honestly, holding government accountable, and remembering that we’re all Americans first. Country > party. Always 🇺🇸
