Scott Hunter, owner of Salem Communications Corporation


What is Salem Communications Corp? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_Media_Group
Hmm
Quote:
Salem Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SALM; formerly Salem Communications Corporation) is an American radio broadcaster, internet content provider, and magazine and book publisher based in Irving, Texas, targeting audiences interested in Christian values and what it describes as "family-themed content and conservative values".


Ahh, bible thumpers


Quote:
The founders of Salem Communications support various religious causes, and are noted for their role in spreading politically conservative opinion to areas dependent on radio for current events information. In 2005, Epperson was reported in Time magazine as one of the "25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America".[21] In 2004 he co-chaired "Americans of Faith", a religiously based Republican electoral campaign. Both founders have served on the Council for National Policy, a group of conservative influencers, intellectuals, donors, and former elected officials known to feature right-wing extremists as members, and Epperson has served as president of the Council.[22][23][24][25] They gave $100,000 to the Bush presidential reelection campaign and $780,000 to the 2000 "California Defense of Marriage Act" (Proposition 22) ballot measure.[26]

So they are politically active. No wonder their news headlines are politically charged to show in good light to the GOPpers who allegedly love a god.

When Democrats can't refute the substance of a story, their default is to shoot the messenger. It's a sure sign they know they're in trouble, and it tells me the story needs to be pursued more aggressively lol.

Republicans do it too, but not nearly as much. Even when they point out a source is biased, they still try to address the substance of the story using facts and reasoning.

Thanks for admitting that you can't refute the facts of the original post. You know, that Senile Biden's immigration crisis is overwhelming the United States and wreaking havoc on state’s resources, all because Senile Biden intentionally refuses to enforce the border

Senator Lee

Those who enter the U.S. without papers and apply for asylum are supposed to be detained until their claims can be adjudicated. That doesn’t happen under Senile Biden.

Biden gives them a plane ticket, a work permit, and a mild suggestion that they show up for their immigration hearing, which might take place

The president and DHS secretary have full discretion to stop processing asylum applications whenever they choose, as the asylum laws say they “may” grant asylum applications when the conditions are met. There is no “shall” language sometime in the mid-2030s.

Ask yourself why leftists continue to support not protecting our borders and allowing illegals to invade our country?

Thanks tommy. Googling stuff is pretty basic, though I wouldn't expect a layman to know what a whois query is. Though I feel that having even a rudimentary understand of how to fact check should be something that a lot of Americans would had picked up in the past 8-9 years. Though the ignorant tend not to take any extra steps than what they think is needed, you can't help them sadly.

So Mr. Googlehead, when are we going to see you address the topic of this thread in a SUBSTANTIVE way?

While you were busy googling, did you happen to notice the latest CBS poll? A whopping 70% of Americans disapprove of Biden's open-border policy!

Ask yourself why leftists continue to support not protecting our borders and allowing illegals to invade our country?
FYI-Refugee, Alien classification as a family based immigrant, and non immigrant workers etc, and some Asylum seekers isn't always a discretionary process; certain immigration benefits are NOT discretionary: and IN these cases, if the requestor properly filed and meets the eligibility requirements, the USCIS must approve the the benefit requested. There is NO discretionary analysis as part of the adjudication, and these requests cannot be denied as a matter of discretion.

essentially- what you are suggesting is a leftist propaganda is not correct since some things are not discretionary. I don't think most of the libs here on the board want to have an "open border" mentality, but would prefer to see the laws that are on the books, being adhered to. The real question is- "why haven't both sides worked towards immigration reform as a part of legislation vs. pointing fingers back and forth. There was the prior being accused of separating families and children, and there are always going to be this pot calling the kettle black kinda of crappola.

Its a ruse that one side is trying to add to their voting constituents, since non citizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections.

Nobody wants the USA to be a dumping ground for asylum seekers, and non citizens, as a burden to the rest of us. I think it's good that some of these asylum cities have found out about the burden that it is - and can effect some legislation to make a change, vs. just complaints and political talking points.

LOL. Really? Tell that to Senile Biden, Mayorkas and all the Democrat politicians who support these open borders, who have ignored the laws on the books to let massive numbers of illegals invade our country

Pay attention to the leftist politicians who say they want more illegals in their districts because it helps them in redistricting. And they know they will eventually vote - either legally in the future or illegally now as there is no voter ID, bullshit mail in ballots, etc, etc.

If you believe your statement above, why has Senile Biden not enforced the laws? Not protected the border?

I think you're conflating the two. Nobody wants illegal immigrants or financial or social burdens from illegals. But there are some situations that currently don't have a automatic denial or stop of approvals. Essentially if you fill out the boxes right, and meet some of the criteria listed above in my prior post, you cannot be refused; due to the way our existing immigration laws are written. I think everybody would agree that those need to be revisited, and updated, or revised / rewritten.

Every president in the last 24 years has had the same immigration issues, it's just getting worse due to corrupt governments in South America and elsewhere. Hell for that a matter you could include our own USA for being corrupt when it comes to immigration. I'd give every administration an f for how they performed since before Carter.

And yet Senile Biden has ignored enforcing the law and let more illegals in than any President in history. More than a number of state's total population

Senile Biden could have stopped this at any time. In fact, to make matters worse, Senile Biden has gone to court to try to stop Texas from protecting the border. He also has forced Texas and Arizona to remove barricades they put up to protect the border in their states

You are continuing to deny what Senile Biden is doing ignoring enforcing the law

You are wrong. As Senator Mike Lee points out "The president and DHS secretary have full discretion to stop processing asylum applications whenever they choose, as the asylum laws say they “may” grant asylum applications when the conditions are met. There is no “shall” language sometime in the mid-2030s."

And there is no requirement that someone seeking asylum be allowed to stay in the United States until their case is hears. the law say they "may" be allowed. It is up to the US's discretion.

Ask yourself why Senile Biden ended President Trump's highly successful "remain in Mexico" policy

LOL, so rich. NY Gov Hochul touted New York as a sanctuary state for illegals

Now New York Gov Hochul plans to travel to DC to plead with Senile Biden for ‘stronger border,’ blaming Senile Biden and his federal government for crisis
