		Ukraine's border is more important than ours.  Ukraine's national sovereignty is more important than ours.  It is more important to protect Ukraine's border than it is to protect ours:

 Do we have a problem at our southern border?  Has it gotten worse since Biden took over?
 
The southern states will get to voice their opinion on this, in November.

 So you go to media broadcasters for your "roll" modeling?  That was actually a fortuitous typo or misspelling.  Most legacy media do roll their audience with biased opinions and disinformation.
 
Tucker does seem to be more equitable than other legacy media commentators.  He makes a very revealing comparison of Biden Administration views on Ukraine's border and the U.S. border.
 
Of course, your response is your usual avoid the message and attack the messenger.

 you see no issue at all, with letting in millions of immigrants, and we don’t know who they are, during a pandemic?
 
they don’t put enormous financial 
strain on schools, hospitals, police and fire?  
 
huge amounts of drugs don’t come 
in through the southern border?

 can you even try to be honest who is letting in who ?    you act as if there is no one on the border  
 
   
they don’t put enormous financial 
strain on schools, hospitals, police and fire?  No jim they dont why again do repeat baseless talking points  
 
Jim your characterization of immigrants, as people who drain public resources,  is not backed by the data.  not surprising  
 
 
huge amounts of drugs don’t come 
in through the southern border?          Jim Drugs have always flowed from the southern Border and not a single administration has stemmed the Tide  ..  As long as Americans wish to Use Illegal Drugs they will still cross basic economics if there's a demand someone will supply

illegals ( who dont pay taxes, but whose kids need to go to school, who need subsidized housing and healthcare) arent a financial strain?

 You are right, part of the reason the GOP opposes illegal immigration, is that it helps them politically.
 
DO you deny that part of the reason that Democrats are OK with illegal immigration, is seeking political advantage?  The democrats want to turn TX blue.
 
But as always with you, it's only bad when republicans do it.
 
massive illegal immigration also reduces wages.  supply and demand.  it hurts poor americans.

 federal agents near El Paso say they’ve seen a 4,000% increase in fentanyl seizures over the last three years.
 
four thousand percent.
 
that’s not a big deal to you?

 why is that Jim why would there be a 4000% increase  because AMERICAN want their Drugs ..
 
I worked in a detox for 20 plus years  users Hate what Heroin or Oxy has done to them and their families  But they love getting High More  
every addict will tell you that..
 
PS Jim how are they increase in fentanyl seizures if were just letting people In?
 
our border is like playing Red rover  the problem always is the mexicans side (Cartels )  anticipate seizures and flood the Border with shipments ..  
 
But many Americans have no Idea of the size of the southern border or that  Each day, more than 1 million people and about $1.7 billion in commerce are processed through official ports of entry  or  Two-way trade in goods between Mexico and the United States has increased from $81.4 billion in 1993 — the year before the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect — to $557.6 billion in 2017. Mexico has remained the United States’ second-largest export market since 1995, with exports totaling $242 billion in 2017.
 
Many Americans a just uninformed and its why GOP messaging remains Simplistic at best   that's why  
 
Republicans overwhelmingly favor the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. But Republicans who live closer to the border are less likely to support the wall than are those who live farther away.
 
Because they understand how it works
