He's basically saying, unless his son Hunter gets more money from the Ukraine government which gets its funding from US. He's not going to sign anything for the American people.

The Bidens are solely responsible for the Ukraine war and the invasion of the migrants into America. All Biden had to do back then was not to intervene like Obama. He has shown to be a lot more selfish and greedy than Obama.

No Leftists chiming in yet so let me speak for them…

Cida: it’s the NY Post. This is all fabricated.

Kefir King: good, the pigs deserve it.

Seventhfloor: this has always happened. You guys don’t live here, why do you care? How would Republicans have prevented this?

There might had been a languge barrier, though more details are needed to see if this was the case. If the attackers didn't know much English and the cops Spanish, then whatever is said by either party will be "lost in translation" so to speak.
That's why legal immigration is so important. You shouldn't be allowed to come into a country if you can't speak the language. Bad things can happen.

Sadder. Cops can't defend themselves without worry of reprimand.
Chalk one up for those who voted people into power that resulted in this mess.
The people that voted them in will never learn. They will continue to vote party instead of common sense.

From what I heard, those illegals are from Venezuela. That gov't has emptied their prisons and mental facilities and sent them here. They gang up and do exactly what they did to those officers. Watching what they were doing in that video...they were trying to kill that officer on the ground. You don't kick a person in the head if you aren't trying to kill them. I don't know how that officer is alive with the amount of times he was kicked in the head.

This government in NYC is an embarrassment to every person born and raised in New York. This was the most beautiful and safe city in the nation after Guiliani cleaned it up. Look at it now. Great job Democrats, great job.

That's politics. What Biden is saying is that he can shut down the border, but chooses not to. He's not asking for more funding to further control the border, because there is more than enough for that.

Let's keep in mind that it was Biden that relaxed border controls that were increased during Trump, essentially giving the green light to even more migrants (legal and illegal as the number of residence visas given in US Embassies abroad was reduced considersbly during Trump and has increased considerably during Biden.) During Trump Mexican cities along the border, particularly Tijuana, witness an increase in migrants that settle there because they couldn't enter and stay in the USA.

The same Biden that relaxed border controls is the same that now is saying not that he can't increase border controls, but that he doesn't want to. If more money is made available for the war in Ukraine with the hope it will result in greater border controls, what will end up happening is that the border controls will increase for a time and then decrease but the extra money for the war in Ukraine was already spent, so you can't undo that and get your money back.

Check out this travel blogger I follow. He was touring Venezuela in this episode. At the 38 minute mark listen:

https://youtu.be/4ijIo8X2_h4?si=FaiMkwXFJtKOkFCl&t=2280

He was in Venezuela and asked locals why it is safer in Venezuela now

"Gangs have migrated to other countries"

Well who do you think is in NY now?

This is the chickens coming home to roost. If NYC residents don't demand change in terms of the political leadership of the city, they deserve everything they get. Just sucks to be among the minority of voters who don't and have never backed this nonsense.

Biden isn't letting the cartels get rich from this invasion unless he is profiting too. Biden is all about Biden.

There’s 0% this will happen. Too many depend on the largesse of the NYC government to be able to live in this city.

If Biden wins , NYC, in its current incarnation goes on its merry way. NYC will get bailed out. It’s just a very, very unpopular issue now so the Dems can’t risk throwing money at NYC and losing independent voters in key states.

If Biden loses, NYC is toast within a year. Put on the record here.
