I said all this same stuff when Trump was in office.
No. You didn't.
You didn't say boo about your views on Everify's shortcomings......something Trump could have EASILY fixed by simply asking them to drop it in ANY of the three MASSIVE spending bills that you ignored because a R was POTUS.
Naturally, you started paying attention to money again in yet another in a long line of Xmas miracles when Joe showed up.

When he met with Congressional leaders trying to get the bill that Graham had proposed passed.
The Dems stormed out of the meeting & went crying to the press about his sh!thole country remark.
Right. It's the Dems fault Trump made a extra-racist comment as they're sitting down to discuss Immigration.
Here, let me help you:
1. Never invite someone to a meeting with the opposition that features a guy who says whatever comes to his tiny mind. Basic politics.
2. Don't nominate this idiot in the first place to lead your party.
3.Don't elect a moron as POTUS
All three of these simple choices would have kept this from happening. But sure, it's the Dems fault the man keeps making overtures to White Surpremacists, followed by you and your fellow voters providing him excuses as to why it's awesome he says these things, and yell at everyone else because Trump said dumb stuff. Because naturally, YOU would never complain about something Biden or Obama said that was dumb, right?

You know that E-verify won't fix the problem & it can't be immediately enforced everywhere or the economy would grind to a halt.
So....this isn't actually an emergency? I thought this was a big deal, and you've been complaining about it for.....how many years now?
Yet you're speculating that businesses that are breaking the freaking law might have to shut down....and you don't want that to happen?
You're not making ANY sense, sorry.
And I could just as easily argue that Biden is doing everything in his power to fix immigration, but Congress is in the way. The ONLY difference is, you're not dumb enough to buy that, because of Biden's magic letter D. I have NO IDEA why you think this excuse works for Trump when you're discussing this with me or anyone else on this forum...but you do you.

Once we get control of the border & staunch the inflow, E-verify is one tool we can use to legitimize the illegals who are working here now.
Nothing can be changed until we get control of the border, & we're losing more control now with lifting Title 42 & releasing everyone with no way to keep track of them or adjudicate their asylum claim if they don't voluntarily show up for a hearing years down the road.
Straight out of the FoxNation manual on "how to pretend you're serious about immigration without actually doing anything"
How long have they been selling you this nonsense? 20 years? 30?
It's opinion being offered as fact. We have 3,000,000+ illegal workers in the US, and you're on here telling me that you can't work on policies effecting workers that are already here unless you slow the flow to some magic number. Sorry, this is nonsense.
And more to my point: scoreboard. Nothing has happened. Not even after 9/11 when Americans would have let Bush do ANYTHING in the name of making America more secure. Spoiler alert: he didn't do a thing about the border, the illegal people living here, VISA's, or anything he could have done.
But sure, let's vote DeSantis so yet
It's obvious to me: there isn't a problem. The way I know is that you and your team stops 100% of your complaining the MIIILISECOND a R is in the White House. That's the ACTUAL problem you want "fixed".
