There is no compromise to be had with these republicans anymore as they are openly racists. The only thing they will accept is no more letting brown people in the US. Period. Look at all their proposals, remain in Mexico which makes it a Mexican problem the US is causing, no more processing and releasing until hearing which as he whines lets those people into our country, and build the wall which is proven not to work.
I listened to half of the video because I couldn’t read the article and it was all I could stand of the republican talking points of fear fear fear and Biden doesn’t care, Biden is out of touch, Biden needs to go to the border. When it was pointed out to him that Biden did go to the border, Johnson replied yes but it was just a photo op. Well what do you think he and his republican buddies are doing? The 14 million does have more money for processing asylum seekers so there is not such a big backlog of cases waiting in detention at the border. It also includes more money for beds, more money to house and care for the people, it has solutions to the problem. But again the republicans don’t want solutions, they want the problem to run on.
If you listen to him, he makes claims that instill fear in people especially white people. He claims over hundreds of thousands of “known terrorist” have crossed the border and are in the country planning terrorist attacks on US citizens. When he was corrected that these people were flagged but not known to be terrorists and that their where they were was known, he moved to the large number of crooks from prisons that are coming here. Again he was corrected by Tapper that has gone on forever under all administrations, so he switched the large number of people crossing the border, 6 million he whined. Yes six million have come seeking asylum and are waiting hearings. If we had the money the republicans refuse to vote on they could be processed. And this country can handle 6 million and millions more. Every store around here has help wanted signs up. Let these people work while they wait. But the republicans want the issue for the elections. When that did not hit, he moved to illegal drugs, fentanyl, and people trafficking. Again, addressing fentanyl was in the bill that the republicans won’t pass or even here. Also fentanyl and other drugs come in by legal crossings, not by asylum seekers. The republicans like to bring up the coyotes helping people get here because they like to use the word trafficking, which they make sound as scary as possible. It brings to mind sex trafficking of little girls, little boys, and young women for sex. Sorry that shit is happening all over the US and not at the border. Yes they are moving the people to the border and over it. But hey what do you think DeathSantis and Abbot are doing with the mass immigrant bussing they are doing, yes people trafficking.
Just before I shut it off Johnson whines that these things he is saying are not just republican talking points they are real bad things happening right now. Again back to be afraid, be very afraid, along with Biden doesn’t know or care. Yes all republican talking points. No solutions, but lots of whining. Lots of racist dog whistles. Elect us and we will keep the brown people out. Hugs. Scottie
but…but…but…if we actually do something for border security and immigration then we can’t blame the crisis we are creating on Biden!!!
Bingo.
Scottie's Playtime 
There is a steady and depression flow of evidence on the media that the Extreme Wing of the Republican Party have locked into a mindset which only have one solution to all problems: White Fundamentalist Domination and Exclusivity. They genuinely think they can hold a nation the size of the USA under this policy.
They do not have a clue what forces they are playing with.

Hi Roger. Yes, I agree with you about that in the US, but we are seeing it all over the world. I am listening to a clip I plan to post about the Israeli media covering the Gaza massacre. They simply are not. And anyone including teachers that try to point out what is happening is jailed. One guy who tried to post stuff got jailed for over a week and lost most of his stuff, can not get employment. An 18 year old kid refused to go into the military to fight in Gaza due to the genocide happening there and the Israeli’s are putting him in prison. Not just small-time, but until he joins the military.
Roger you say they don’t know the forces they are dealing with, but it seems to me all over the world those forces are winning. Sorry but I am very discouraged and down right now. How can we mount a resistance when half the people wont hear us and the other half will kill us or jail us. Hugs. Scottie

Total War Scottie. You can be sure the other side will have the same mindset. All peace initiatives lie in ruins. All the hard work done by Palestinian / Israeli groups working together is gone. The extremists on both sides have their wishes fulfilled; except there will be no winners in this one.
In part groups in the West who unconditionally supported only the Palestinians and painted all Israelis with the tar of being Right-Wing have to shoulder some blame for this. Had they supported those within the borders working for reconciliation there might have been a drift by folk on both sides to the centre. But they didn’t and now they are supporting Hamas and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, another side of the same coin as the Israeli Right. A hundred and twenty years war and no end in sight. No one gets out of this with clean hands.
I didn’t make myself clear, sorry about that Scottie. What I was referring to was the USA Right thinking it can impose its will upon the whole of the USA population.
I’ll give you some maths to think about. 70,000,000 + voted for Biden. Now we assume that 10% of that votership loath Trump and his support base; that is 7,000,000. Next we assume that 5% of those who loath would actually consider taking up arms, that is 350,000. Next we consider those who are going beyond thinking, assume just 5% that is 17,500 folk who are potential terrorist material if Trump and the Extreme Republicans continue, and assume only 2% of that are successful in one year that is 300 terrorist acts against Republican targets. Of course there will be a reaction by those Republicans of a violent mind, more terrorism. That in turn brings about a counter-reaction and so on. This then escalates into a Northern Ireland situation only the divides will not be so simple.
In addition there will be folk who only take civil action, and administrative areas which feel they can take constitutional action. Very quickly the Republicans will lose a hold on the Nation as they planned; and they will probably find even those states which are ‘Republican’ are not wholly their territory.
Folk have been talking about a Civil War like a re-run of the 19th century one. Very few conflicts these days work like that.
To repeat The Republicans obviously have no idea what can happen when they try and impose their narrow ideas on a nation the size and variety of the USA. It’s no use them saying they have hand guns and assault rifles and tolerate extremists. Not when the other sides and there will be more than one start reading from terrorist handbooks.
Sorry to sound alarmist Scottie, but these Republicans are living in a nation only 300 years old (that’s assuming the independence movement was around for some while before the War of Independence). To the rest of us, that is ‘nothing’ we in the rest of the world have histories of rebellions and civil conflicts that go way back before any Europeans landed on the shores of what is the USA. We know what can happen.
This current crop of republicans are basically fools.
I could even go ‘Old Testament’ on them to cite what happens when folk like them step out of line, but I’ll spare you that.
Take care you guys.
