A vulnerable congressional Democrat in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania who previously dismissed a border wall as "silly," appears to have shifted her views on immigration, according to a recent op-ed calling for stricter border security.
"We may be a long way from the U.S.-Mexico border, but the problems created by a broken system affect us too, particularly with regard to the entry of illegal drugs into our country," Rep. Susan WIld wrote in an op-ed published last month in The Morning Call. Wild’s op-ed, which was headlined "Your View by US Rep. Susan Wild: It’s time to do something about the Southern border,"

Too late to close the barn door after the cows are out. Democrats created this economic, cultural, and criminally driven reality. They own this debacle. I would hope they would keep their mouths shut when President Trump begins the biggest deportation in the history of the country, but you know they won’t. I am so disgusted by the people who came here illegally and have the audacity to make demands of us. Every single one of them need to go. I do not care what their sob story is, they go right back where they came from.
By the way, toots, the system was not broken. You and your corrupt party broke it. President Trump had a handle on it and Biden came along and threw open the door and let every Tom, Dick, and Harry into the country never knowing if they were diseased, a criminal, a terrorist, or simply a parasite determined to suck the system dry. This is ALL on Biden and the democrat party.

I just hope that the voters are smart enough to realize that these dems change their approach as elections are in sight, but then do NOTHING after the fools elect them once again.
Wake up people

Immigration. Or illegals. Notice the words illegal and aliens are no longer used by anyone in the media.

Another politician who lives and dies by the polls. Changing her position to try and fool her voters into thinking she cares about the issues that affect them in order to keep her job. Despicable! But I would expect no less from a liberal position. All that matters is keeping power.

Pandering for votes in the election then will continue her previous anti-American policies once back in office for another term.

A good temporary border that would suffice until the wall is built is the one employed by Kim Jong Un, lines of soldiers with searchlights. dogs and machine guns. The gottaway count per year is roughly one or two people.

You're absolutely correct #11, but after the election she'll be out there trying her best to get 'voter rights' for the illegals. If a Rat is talking, that Rat is lying.

Susan Wild is my Representative in Congress.
I didn't vote for her, and certainly do not support her. She is a typical left-wing Karen, who supported Pelosi and FJB 100% of the time.
But, though the election will be close, we have a Democrat Governor, who will ensure the election is rigged the left way.

I wish the Democrat led states had as many illegals as Texas does. I think that would get their attention.

During the run up to the November election you can safely bet that a lot of the leftist and progressive Democrats will flip flop on the out of control borderline caused by Biden’s “open borders” and “catch and release” schemes that have allowed millions of mostly all poor and uneducated Third World origin illegal aliens into the USA in violation of the immigration laws. That is clear, as some Democrats have been making the false claim that the “broken” immigration laws are at fault for the out of control border, when it actually has been Biden’s and the leftist and progressive Democrat “open borders” and “catch and release” policies that evade effective the effective enforcement of the immigration laws, and that are contrary to the intent of the immigration laws passed by Congress that have encouraged and invited unlimited millions of Third World origin illegal aliens to unlawfully enter the USA, under the fraudulent guise that they “might” be eligible for asylum in the USA and that Biden will allow them to stay in the USA for how many years it takes for them to present their asylum cases to immigration judges because it is “the right thing to do”. Dispute the fact that over 90% of such asylum claims filed by illegal aliens have been denied by immigration judges. Clearly those Biden sham immigration policies are designed to “flood” the USA with illegal aliens and are ridiculous, as there are several billion people (aliens) going now residing in Third World countries who could conceivable travel to the US border and unlawfully enter the USA in response to Biden’s invitation, that absolutely violates the immigration laws and amount to a lot more than today’s total US population by a factor of ten.
No doubt the Democrats will claim that the way to end mass uncontrolled illegal immigration is to pass a Democrat designed comprehensive immigration reform bill containing a series of Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty and legalization programs that would legalize the entire illegal alien population in the USA that could easily amount to twenty million illegal aliens, most of who the Democrats consider to be members of minority groups in accordance with Democrat identity politics, thus allowing the vast majority of those poor and generally uneducated “newcomers” or “New Americans” to transform themselves and their family groups into leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters in numbers enough to permanently change the voter demographics and politics of the USA, designed to send the wimpy Republicans into political oblivion in the future New America.

Democrats always govern based on what is expedient for them at the time. It would never occur to them to govern based on what's best for the country. Votes are more important than the voters.

In true form, a Democrat trying to make a statement with the intent of fooling just enough voters in the expectation they will fall for the same trick that's worked in previous elections.

So, this brilliant member of our august body wants to lock the barn door after the cattle got out. How insightful of her and her ilk to come to their senses and stop murderers, terrorists and general causers of mayhem to invade our country.

No worries, the sheeple will go for her 180 degree flip hook, line and sinker.
Sheeple are not very bright.
