Dem House Rep. Henry Cuellar on Morning Joe is completely smearing the Biden administration on

the border issues.

Cuellar is playing massive bothsiderism games (claiming that both sides have valid points), really blaming HHS (Xavier Becerra), saying we need to ship immigrants back to 'safe camps' in Honduras (or use that model), claiming Biden's stance is to basically to invite them all in, saying he gets more info from the Mexican side than from Biden, claiming that Biden is allowing thousands to just be released into the US with no court appearance (claims this has never happened in history), and just hyping up the 'crisis' angle to no end.

The Rethugs watching him must be doing a fucking dance.



This so-called 'crisis' framing is all bullshit. It is a seasonal increase that occurs every year, and in terms of percentage of increase, 2019's (under the fucker Trump) was larger than now, in 2021.


Cuellar (anti LGBTQ, anti-immigrant, forced birther, campaigned, fundraised for TX Rethug RWer, John Carter, etc etc) is the one who sandbagged Biden by releasing the camp pics a couple days ago:

Maybe now Biden just needs to stop letting them in and let them know, we can't take anymore because all this is doing is giving he GOQ talking points and the news are picking it up. Same think with North Korea and them flying missles. Times have changed and the people Biden has in cabnet has to be touch on these countries or they would wipe us all out and give Trump more credit for being tough.

I just know I am sick of the media talking about it and wish Biden would be forceful and stop them from coming because it is blocking his agenda and now they are accused of not being transparent for not letting the media see what is going on. I just think we need to walk and chew gum at the same time because this issue and the gun issue is drowning out the Rescue package.I am not bashing our party ,but feel we better get a handle on this before it gets worst. The GOQ is in a better spot than we are right now with this issue dominating the news along with the far left saying we should give a check to these immigrants,which is worst then defund the police nonsense.It is as if some wants us out of power just as much as the GOQ.JMHO.

You'd rather he turned unaccompanied children away and send them back into the desert? Who gives a damn what the pugs think? They're going to talking point it to death, anyway.

he claims he is an Independent now which is a sham. He thinks Ronald Reagan was the best president of all time.

P.S. Rep. Cuellar's Texas district went in favor of shithole in the 2020 elections. The Latins favored shithole over President Biden. shithole's treatment of immigrants were horrible and they still favored him. Think about that.

TX-28 has never elected a Rethug House member in its history, and voted against Trump.

I have a….unique…..TV arrangement, in the sense that I watch 9 channels at a time (sound only on one)….. and being the news addict I am, I have fox, fox business, CNN, CNBC, msnbc, and all the main networks going all day. Super interesting to see who shows up on fox (hey Mara Liasson of NPR! )

Needless to say he was on fox for quite a while yesterday. Didn’t turn the sound on but the captions I saw were close to what he was saying this morning. Ugh…
