Opinion Kamala Harris Blames Climate Change for the Border Crisis

[Scerpi]

lol at the mental gymnastics rationalizing her comments...

But, but, but..... Shut up fucktards. Climate change has zero influence on the border crisis. It's a sad attempt to inject environmental politics into a REAL issue.

 

[BassAckwards]

most of them are fleeing their countries for a better life, economic opportunities and to get away from their shitty governments. climate change has nothing to do with their government mismanagement

 

[SanchoMF]

Fuck this blowhard. So the way to tackle climate crisis is to flee your country of origin? Especially in the best working age?
What happens next?

 

[Confucamus]

What laws did Biden change since Trump left office in regards to immigration?

Why only since Trump left office? Why not altogether? No doubt you have some talking points, ready to copy and paste at a moments notice, on how Republicans have hurt border security as well. Put em all out there, I say.

I bet climate change has no influence on the economy either.

nyet.

didn't even watch the video. nor do I even support Harris in any way shape or form. I know she's a scumbag.

I, unlike you, am exercising common sense. you, you're just ejaculating (prematurely at that) your hatred like all hyper-partisan hacks do.

The only mental gymnastics going on here is from you and your garbage thread. She didn't blame the problems at the border on climate change. You literally made that up. She listed it along with many other things as one contributing to why people are leaving their homes in Central America.

You took one line from her entire speech and proceeded to make up a bunch of shit about what she said so it fit the shit thread you wanted to make.

It's what he PROMISED to do during his campaign... and the fact that him or Kamala have done zilch while the border situation continues to disintegrate is a complete embarrassment.... Turning into human crisis

Biden immigration policies cause a predictable border crisis. Why didn't he plan for it?

President Joe Biden is facing a crisis at the border, even if the White House would prefer not to use that word. Ambassador Roberta Jacobson, the administration’s coordinator for the southern border, certainly tried her best to avoid the term on Wednesday when she said, “We have to do what we do regardless of what anybody calls the situation.”

Immigration still has to be managed, as Biden's administration is rapidly being reminded, otherwise it exposes the migrants to a high level of personal risk.

She was referring to a massive surge of migrants along the U.S. border with Mexico that federal authorities are struggling to keep up with. And that crisis — or situation — is at least partly of the Biden administration’s making.

The president campaigned on easing immigration controls, including a moratorium on deportations, an end to former President Donald Trump’s “wait in Mexico” policy for asylum-seekers and halting construction of the border wall. That platform gave migrants good reason to believe it would be easier to get into the United States if he were elected.

Since taking office, Biden has also given them good reason to think they might be allowed to stay, as his immigration bill would offer legal status and a pathway to citizenship to much of the U.S. undocumented population.

Biden needs to admit that his eagerness to roll back Trump’s immigration policies without a meaningful plan to deal with the predictable migration increase has led to chaos at the border. While many voters wanted a kinder, gentler approach than Trump’s, Democrats cannot simply wish away the need for effective border security and immigration regulation short of declaring open borders — a deeply unpopular idea carrying numerous economic and security risks.

Playing to the wishes of the Democratic base while ignoring the need for more enforcement has merely exacerbated the problem at the border and is becoming impossible to deny, much as the Biden administration would like to. It’s not only a problem in terms of the United States being ill-equipped and under-resourced to handle the surge. It also leads migrants to take risks on dangerous terrain and increases the likelihood that unaccompanied minors will end up in perilous conditions.

The immigration laws were set in 1992 and haven't changed since.

I'm not reading that if you haven't, especially since it doesn't even address my question.

Hahahaha... There's a fucking disaster at the border that she was put in charge of. And she hasn't done fuck all...

Then puts out this fucking speech... Go fuck yourself. I have friends who work Border Control down here. They have their hands full barely keeping up... Meanwhile the cartels have free reign to go back and forth because Border Control is completely overwhelmed. Fuck you asshats who have no idea WTF is actually doing on down here.

Her speech is a fucking embarrassment.. She can't even bring herself to visit to look the people in the eyes that the White House is completely ignoring.

Short answer? Biden hasn't done jack shit either way...

And of course you're not reading it... lol. That would acknowledge their complete failure.

So nothing has actually changed?

hurricanes and storms have hit central america every fucking year, some years worse than others.

one thing that hasnt changed is the corruption in their govt. if climate change magically stopped and they had perfect weather year round, their govt would still be shit and people would still flee

You didn't like her speech so you made up stuff to make a shit thread about. Got it. Thanks for clarifying that.

been seeing a lot of these videos about how climate change has been dwindling businesses in South America hard, & the pandemic just made that even worse. like in Ecuador, people who go to the mountain tops to carve out ice to sell to other local businesses - the ice is getting harder to find. in Mexico, candle makers can't get their hands on wax as easily anymore because bees have died out etc.

so what happens when they no longer have the means to earn? they look to the "land of opportunity".

Come on guy. Nobody wants to hear any of that scientific shit in here

this isn’t 99% of the people coming or a reason for the current problem. I mean, my God lol

 

[boxingskills]

Has anyone ever spoken to a Mexican about why they came to America, and got "climate change" as the answer?

They told me cambio climático.

 

[badascan]

She over played her cards... unfortunately most people sitting at the table can't understand what a card game even is...

 

[Amerikuracana]

Climate change is definitely having an impact on opportunity. We're dealing with some serious drought right now, Texas just literally froze so hard that we were nearly without power for months, and wildfires and hurricanes seem to be getting worse.

I don't know how things are changing south of here, but I think it's pretty crazy to immediately write off that climate change is even just a single factor in people coming to the US.

Hurricanes aren’t getting worse lmao

Are you guys real people?
