I tend to assume that most mean well and may have misread a post with things like this.
Border problem.

Congratulations and thanks on your positive behavior.
This was the plan with regards to authority to close the border.
The original deal also appropriated money to build more border barriers, expand detention facilities, and more Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges.
Long winded way to say @Pokey post was correct.
Not really, but you continue to mischaracterize, misdirect, and mislead.
At least you're consistent.

Ehhhh..
He said the original would have been better. Which as you properly understood means hed implying they are different. As you just explained the "original deal also appropriated money to build more border barriers, expand detention facilities, and more Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges".... So Pokey claiming it would be better is in relation to those additional portions that you listed. No mischaracterizing or misleading involved in this one.
Gavin Newsom Doubles National Guard Troops at California Border
California Governor Gavin Newsom has more than doubled the number of National Guard troops along his state's southern border with Mexico in efforts to crack down on "deadly drugs."
In a news release Thursday, Newsom's office said that California's National Guard County Drug Task Force operations have been boosted from 155 service members to nearly 400. The move comes as state and federal officials grapple with a spike in border encounters in recent years. The rise in opioid use and overdoses in the U.S. has also been linked to drug smuggling across the southern border.
"Our top priority is the safety of our communities statewide," Newsom said in the release. "By working with state, local, and federal partners to take down transnational organizations and the illegal drugs they attempt to bring into our state, the state's Counter Drug Taskforce is making a profound difference to hold smugglers accountable and take deadly drugs off our streets."
From January through April, California's National Guard, also known as CalGuard, said that it seized over 5.8 million fentanyl pills, including more than 2.3 million in April alone. According to CalGuard Major General Matthew Beevers, the state Counter Drug Taskforce deployed 30 service members in 2022 to points of entry in Southern California at San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, Tecate and Calexico.
"Due to significant initial success, in 2023, we doubled our force across those Ports of Entry," Beevers added, as quoted in the release. "Under Governor Newsom's leadership and broad Congressional support, our Counter Drug Taskforce has grown from 155 full-time service members to 392 today."
Newsweek reached out to Newsom's office via email on Thursday for additional information.
Drug-related overdoses have spiked across the U.S. in recent years. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, accounted for the most drug overdose deaths in 2022. As Newsom's office noted in its release on Thursday, the majority of fentanyl that is smuggled into the country is carried out by U.S. citizens. In 2022, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, 88 percent of offenders trafficking fentanyl were American citizens.
The CDC reported that the state with the highest rate of drug-related deaths in 2022 was West Virginia, with 80.9 deaths per 100,000 residents. Other locations topping the CDC's list for that year, all per 100,000 residents, were: the District of Columbia (64.3 deaths), Tennessee (56 deaths) and Delaware (55.3 deaths).
California had among the lower drug-related death rates in 2022, at 26.9 deaths per 100,000 residents. In total, 10,952 Californians died from a drug overdose that year.
Hey Republicans and Democrats...this is working. Let's go ahead and make that law ...worked when Trump did it and it worked when Biden did it
This PROVES the BORDER ISSUE isn't a real problem because BOTH ADMINS have demonstrated via the same damn EO that this approach works SIGNIFICANTLY well...if they wanted to fix it they would just come together and make this PROVEN approach law
The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally has dropped more than 40 percent in the three weeks since President Biden announced broad restrictions on asylum claims, administration officials said Wednesday.
