President Joe Biden recently accused the GOP of "political blackmail" in a tweet because they're holding up aid for Ukraine until Biden does something to secure our own southern border. Biden has dismissed the demands as "far-right." Democratic Sen. John Fetterman managed to surprise us again when he cited border statistics ("You essentially have Pittsburgh showing up there at the border") and said he'd be open to reasonable talks on border security.
According to Rep. Joaquin Castro, Fetterman is falling in with "right-wing racism."

First, the racism card is played out. Second, what would the Biden administration consider acceptable measures to ensure border security? Any time Texas tries to secure its border, the Biden administration sues. What has the Biden administration done to get the border under control? Anything? Even Democratic mayors are begging Biden to do something as more and more illegal immigrants show up in their cities.
He is a complete idiot. Someone should revoke his Texas citizenship.

No, Congressman. Border security is national security. And last I looked we are spending billions on illegal migrants’ housing, food, medical care, and other necessities. You are a disgraceful race-baiter.

Let’s round up ALL illegals in Texas and send them to San Antonio to house, feed and pay for. Thanks for volunteering Castro!

He knows he’s a damn liar! The people in his district want to pass border security measures. Prove me wrong

We've been assured that blacks can't be racist, but they've been very vocal in Chicago about wanting the illegal immigrants out.
Stand your ground, Republicans. For once be unified.

It's alarming to see a focus on funding external conflicts while your own country's border security is in question. True patriotism encompasses protecting your own homeland first. It's not anti-American to demand secure borders; rather, it's a fundamental responsibility.

Controlled, limited, legal & fair immigration isn’t racist but a benefit to the host society

This is absolutely insane. It would be comical if it weren’t so subversive and dangerous. It has to meet some definition of treason.

Explain to us why Ukraine should defend its borders but the United States shouldn't.
