I guess I’d just like to see one of these idiots put it in writing. Instead, they’re just driving around the block and blowing their horns. God, this country is more fucked than we admit. ---

I think she’s just jealous of Tuberville holding up military promotions with one vote and she wants a little taste of that action. Not that she has the ability to actually do anything about it but if she wasn’t squawking idiocy out of that pork rind hole of hers it wouldn’t really be a normal day, now would it? ---

Johnny’s accurate point notwithstanding, just for giggles here’s one stat: > **[Border control encounters U.S.1990-2022 | Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/329256/alien-apprehensions-registered-by-the-us-border-patrol/)** > > In the fiscal year of 2022, there were 2,214,652 alien apprehensions and expulsions registered by the United States Border Patrol - a significant increase from the previous fiscal year when there were 1,662,167 registered alien apprehensions. ---

> [@Stratocaster](#): > > Don’t the statistics favor Biden? I thought arrests were up, etc. Somehow, increased arrests at the border always mean that border control is failing. “Look at all these people who were caught trying to enter the country illegally!” But doesn’t the fact that they were caught mean that our border controls are working? “Look at all these people who were caught trying to enter the country illegally! Look how big the number is! It’s a huge number!” As for what they want Biden impeached for, according to the people that I overhear in the break room at work, it’s for “corruption.” Nothing more specific than that. ---

In and of itself its hard to say. I think that the most likely scenario is hat the retention rate probably hasn’t changed much, but that more people are attempting to cross. Probably due to a variety of things including Covid ending, a tight loabor market in the US, and a violently anti immigrant president who favors stealing children no longer being in power. If the retention rate is indeed the same that probably means that more are getting through than before at approximately the same rate of increase as the number of apprehensions. And the Republicans wanted to argue that fixing Covid and the economy while not being a sociopath has increased the pressure at the border and made for more undocumented immigrants, that would probably be supported by the facts. But that isn’t what they are claiming. What they are claiming is that under Biden there has been a totally open border. That can in no way be supported by these numbers. By rights a Republican Impeachment of Biden because of his immigration policy should consist of one question, one witness and this graph, then after a quick vote acquit they are done by lunch. ---

There’s a huge, comically steep jump in border apprehensions and expulsions under Biden. You can see a mini version of the graph in the link. ---

Just takes one to put the vote up to remove McCarthy. Gaetz is making removal noises as well.
